RAMEN & PHO

Spicy Ramen

Layered with chili oils, garlic, and warming spices.

Use beef bone broth or chicken bone broth as foundational broth. Chili oil, garlic, and warm spices perfume the stock you already have—this is a finishing layer, not a new extraction.

Ingredients

  • 2.5–3 L beef bone broth or chicken bone broth
  • 44 mL–59 mL chili oil (homemade or good-quality)
  • 6 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 15 mL gochugaru or crushed dried chilies (to taste)
  • optional15 mL doubanjiang or miso for depth
  • Scallion, sesame, and salt to finish

Method

  1. Warm the bone broth over medium heat.
  2. Bloom gochugaru or dried chilies in a spoon of oil 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds, then stir chili oil and aromatics into the broth.
  4. Simmer 15–20 minutes gently; skim excess oil if you want a cleaner bowl.
  5. Season at the bowl; top with scallion and sesame.
