Origin Miso Butter Ramen Noodles

This dish is inspired by Hokkaido-style miso ramen, where butter and corn are common toppings. Miso’s deep, fermented flavor meets butter’s creamy richness to create a soul-warming bowl of noodles.

What I Love About This Recipe

It’s ridiculously easy, ready in under 20 minutes, and feels like a restaurant-quality treat. The butter mellows the miso and coats the noodles with an irresistible glossy sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets if instant)

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 tbsp white or yellow miso paste

• 2 tsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1½ cups water or low-sodium broth

• Optional toppings: soft-boiled egg, corn, green onions, sesame seeds, chili oil

Directions

• In a small pan, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
• Stir in miso paste and soy sauce, letting it dissolve into the butter.
• Add water or broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Add ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 3–4 minutes), stirring occasionally to coat them evenly.
• Finish with sesame oil and adjust seasoning if needed.
• Transfer to a bowl and top with your favorite toppings — soft-boiled egg, corn, scallions, or a drizzle of chili oil.

Notes

• Use fresh ramen or soba for a more elevated version.
• For a heartier meal, stir in sautéed mushrooms or bok choy.
• Make it spicy by adding a spoonful of gochujang or sriracha.

Origin Okonomiyaki-Inspired Crispy Rice

Inspired by okonomiyaki, a Japanese savory pancake, this version uses crispy rice as the base instead of batter. It’s a creative, street-food-style dish that brings a crunchier texture and a modern flair to traditional flavors.

What I Love About This Recipe

It’s crispy, creamy, and umami-packed. I love how the rice forms a golden crust and carries all those classic okonomiyaki flavors—sweet, tangy, savory—with each bite. Plus, it’s super customizable!
