00:00Lemon is all you need for this invigorating summer ramen.
00:03A no-cook broth technique creates the ultimate refreshment while unexpected toppings sync together perfectly.
00:10Time to revolutionize the summer noodle game.
00:14For a printable version of this recipe, visit my website, just google Hiyashi Ramen statue to find me.
00:22Let's start by gathering all our broth ingredients in a bowl.
00:25We're combining 1 tablespoon of Chinese style chicken bouillon powder with 1 teaspoon of dashi granules and 1 teaspoon of
00:33sugar.
00:34Now, here's a clever trick.
00:36We're going to add just 4 tablespoons of hot water to this mixture and stir everything until it's completely dissolved.
00:43Using hot water here ensures that although granules and sugar dissolve fully,
00:48this little technique makes all the difference in creating a smooth, way-integrated broth base.
00:54These instant flavor boosters are absolutely brilliant for getting a tasty broth without any heat,
01:01which is exactly what we want on those scorching summer days.
01:06Once it's all dissolved, let's add the rest of our flavor.
01:091 tablespoon of Japanese soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of
01:19garlic paste.
01:20Then we're lightly crushing 2 tablespoons of bonito flakes or katsubushi straight into the bowl.
01:26Give those bonito flakes a gentle crush before adding them to release more of the umami-rich flavor.
01:33They really enhance the broth and give it the Japanese flair we're after.
01:39As always, all ingredients and exact measurements for this recipe can be found in the description box below.
01:46Give it another mix and then set aside for later.
01:50Let's rehydrate our wakame seaweed now.
01:54Just soak about 1 tablespoon of dried wakame in water following the package instructions.
02:00You can do this while prepping the other components.
02:03Time to cook our ramen noodles.
02:05Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.
02:08I'm using fresh noodles here, but high-quality store-bought dried noodles work too.
02:13Just avoid those fried noodles from instant cup ramen.
02:17They simply won't do this dish justice.
02:21Cook the ramen noodles for about 1 minute longer than the package instructions say.
02:26This extra cooking time compensates for the firming effect you'll get from the ice water rinse later.
02:32It makes all the difference in achieving the perfect noodle texture.
02:38Drain the cooked noodles in a colander and rinse them thoroughly with cold water.
02:47Then plunge them into a bowl of cold water and add a few ice cubes to make them extra cold.
02:56Let's finalize our broth now.
02:58Add a handful of ice to a measuring jug and fill it up to 400ml with cold water.
03:05That's 200ml of ice water per portion.
03:08The ice is crucial here.
03:10We want this broth absolutely ice cold for maximum refreshment.
03:16Mix this ice water with a cold broth mixture and there you have it.
03:20The final chilled soup base for our dish.
03:23The ice cubes haven't even melted.
03:25Now for the grand assembly.
03:28Divide those perfectly cooked noodles between 7 bowls and pour the chilled broth over them.
03:34By the way, if you love this cold ramen, I think you'll also love my cold tan tanmen recipe.
03:39Check the description for more related recipes.
03:43Top each bowl with your choice of toppings.
03:46Here I've got some halved ramen eggs, so boiled eggs are also fine.
03:51Then the rehydrated wok made that I squeezed the excess water out of.
03:56Some finely chopped green onions.
03:59And seasoned bamboo shoots.
04:01Finally, you might raise your eyebrows at this one, but I'm adding some dry killed ham on Serrano.
04:07Killed ham goes surprisingly well with my cold ramen broth.
04:11You could also use prosciutto if that's more accessible.
04:15Finish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
04:21And there you have it.
04:23Your 10 minute hiyashi ramen.
04:25This is something extra special that I developed specifically for those hot and sticky days,
04:30but still crave a satisfying bowl of ramen.
