Better For You Ramen

Healthy ramen has never tasted so good. We've perfected the texture of high protein, high fiber noodles and added even more nutritious goodness from super grains like teff and buckwheat to naturally increase the vitamin and mineral contents. Resistant starches alongside added fiber from psyllium husk and oat fiber ensure these noods won't spike your blood sugar and add naturally promote a healthy gut microbiome.

We're even happier slurping these super noods down than the real thing and are sure you will be too!

Chicken Shio Soup Base

Shio ramen is an under-appreciated classic Japanese ramen style that often gets overshadowed by its famous fatty, creamy brother, the Tonkotsu ramen. But we ditch all that fat for a lighter, healthier broth that is still collagen-rich. 

We pressure cook chicken bones with anti-inflammatory herbs like ginger and garlic to extract all the nutrients and build depth of flavor. Then we double strain the liquid gold for a clear, clean tasting broth.

We prepare our bone broth with high quality salt but with less  sodium than the traditional Japanese tare, so that those who are watching their sodium intake can enjoy this delicious meal too. Feel free to add salt or soy sauce to taste.

We crafted this recipe to easily cook from frozen in less than 5 minutes without sacrificing flavor or texture. Everything in the soup is fully cooked, so you are just warming it through.

Step 1: Make the broth on the stove or microwave

Stovetop method:

1. Place the frozen soup cube into a medium sized pot.
2. Heat on medium-high heat until it comes to a rolling boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 1 minute and turn off the heat.
3. Prepare any additional toppings you would like.

Microwave method:

1. Warm up the broth in the microwave. Select defrost for 0.5 lbs of food.
2. Microwave for 3-4 minutes and stir. Be careful the bowl will be hot.
3. Add in leafy vegetables if using, and microwave for an additional 1 minute.

For this method, we suggest using only leafy vegetables that will cook quickly. Do not use raw meat with this method.

Suggested toppings:

Some of our favorite additions not included in the kit are: bean sprouts, bok choy, onsen egg, white pepper.

Step 2: Prepare the noodles on the the stovetop

DO NOT defrost the noodles, they are intended to be cooked from frozen.

1. Boil the noodles in a pot separate from the broth. Use a large pot at least 2 quarts (8 cups) of water. Too little water can cause the excess starch to thicken took quickly and noodles to stick. Too small of a pot can cause the water to boil over quickly.
2. Prepare an ice bath and a glass of cold water to be used in the following steps.
3. Place the frozen noodles directly into the boiling water. Cook the thin noodles for a max of 1 minute.
4. If the water starts to foam up, pour some of the cold water into the pot and watch the bubbles subside.
5. Once done cooking, drain the noodles in a colander and put into the ice bath immediately. Swish the noodles around to remove excess starch.

Step 3: Combine the noodles with your broth and garnishes

1. Put the hot broth in your favorite bowl. Add any additional toppings first.
2. Add the cooled noodles into the hot broth. The broth will reheat the noodles.
3. Add the seaweed strips as garnish.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Note: the longer the noodles sit in liquid, the softer they will become. For best results, cool the noodles and put in a sieve to drain. If noodles start to stick, they will separate again once they are placed in hot broth.

What kinds of toppings does this kit contain?
This kit contains a ground chicken topping and seaweed garnish. This kit does not contain additional vegetables.

My noodles are coming out too soft. What should I do?
Decrease the cooking time by 30 seconds and be sure to add to an ice bath. Also do not add your noodles to sauce or broth until immediately before serving.

What other toppings can I add?
Shio ramen is typically served with thinly sliced fresh green onions and white pepper as additional flavor enhancers. You can also add more vegetables, like bamboo, wood ear mushrooms, and more. Visit our suggested toppings page for products you can order from Amazon.

The broth is too salty for me. What should I do?
Simply add a bit more water or low sodium chicken broth to reduce the level of saltiness. Keep in mind that adding steamed vegetable toppings will dilute the flavor too.
