25-Min Shio Ramen with Seafood Broth

Clear, salty broth built from dashi and seafood, topped with noodles and a soft-boiled egg. This weeknight ramen skips the 8-hour simmer and uses instant dashi paste for a bright, umami-rich bowl in under 25 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp instant dashi paste (or dashi powder mixed with water)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 portions fresh ramen noodles (or dried, cooked separately)
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 tbsp scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring water to a boil in a medium pot. Add dashi paste and stir until dissolved, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Season broth with sea salt and soy sauce. Taste and adjust — broth should taste noticeably salty and savory.

  3. 3

    Lower heat to a gentle simmer. Add eggs and cook 6–7 minutes until whites set but yolks still jiggle when shaken.

  4. 4

    In a separate pot, cook ramen noodles according to package directions. Drain and divide between two bowls.

  5. 5

    Pour hot broth and one egg into each bowl. Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need

  • medium pot (4-qt minimum)
  • separate pot or kettle for noodles
  • slotted spoon
  • two ramen bowls or large soup bowls
