Instant Pot Ramen Broth

The world is getting sicker and sicker and the only thing I could think that makes sick people feel better is soup. Not just any soup though. Ramen! I’ll be the first to admit that ramen has been a pantry staple for all of my life. It was an easy thing to make as a youngster. And a cheap thing to make as a college student and young adult.

In the most recent years though, my brother has introduced me to real ramen. You know, real authentic ramen and how it’s supposed to be made. Not the instant packs that we all know and love as a guilty pleasure.

This Instant Pot Ramen Broth is about as authentic as you can get with a pressure cooker, and the longer you cook it down, the more depth and intensity the broth will develop. After the initial time cooking under pressure, I allowed mine to cook down on sauté for about 2 hours all said and done. But, you don’t have to do it for that long if you don’t want to.

Once the initial cook is done, you can do what you wish with the meat and vegetables that are leftover. I tossed them out because mine were truly just mush by the end of it, but that’s also because I had cooked it for so long.

Serve this broth with ramen noodles and whatever ramen toppings you enjoy. We added some miso paste and tare to the bottom of our bowls and served the broth with ramen, shredded cabbage, roasted sea weed and some marinated eggs!
