EasyMild

Miso ramen, originating from Hokkaido Japan, is flavored with soybean paste (miso) to create a rich and complex broth. Our recipe uses both white miso and red miso; the darker the color, the longer the soybeans have fermented (and richer the flavor).

Premium dry ramen noodles, imported seasoned bamboo (menma), togarashi, and sesame oil complement this customizable dish. Add a soft-boiled egg or some protein (traditionally pork) to enhance your meal.

What You'll Need

Serve It Right

Ramen just tastes better in a ridiculously large bowl. These are the bowls I would buy, plus the skimmer that gets noodles from pot to bowl without going soggy.

  • Easy to make and delicious

    This was easy to make and delicious. Total win win and a kit we will be purchasing again. As good, if not better, than most restaurants! Highly recommend, especially for the cost and large quantity you get.

  • Serving Size is INSANE

    Says this is going to make four servings, but its more like 6 possibly 8. Added ground pork, baby bok choi, and sriracha. I will say if I didnt have additional sriracha it wouldnt of been spicy enough for me, but this is totally worth the price. Will order again.

  • Two thumbs up from our 22 month old!

    We purchased this kit through Uncommon Goods and EVERYONE in the family loved it, including our adventurous 22 month old :) We cut down on the heat to serve him a super mild version, but the ingredients allowed us to customize easily based on different tastes. Hope this comes back in stock!

  • Overpriced

    You can literally get these ingredients at the Asian market for total of 17 bucks. Pricing is ridiculous.

  • Great - hearty and spicy

    Meal turned out great and fed us several times. Use all of the chili for spice. Better the next day once everything has marinated. Eat while super hot.

  • One of our favorites!

    One of our favorites and we forgot to add the rest of the miso! The ingredients were very high quality and made us feel very special to have ramen with all the fixings.

  • Ramen all day!

    Miso is my favorite ramen for chill day off of work.

  • Disappointing

    I made this miso ramen for dinner one night. I used some expensive grass fed pork for the protein.
    Not only was it labor intensive, but then it wasn't worth it!
    The dried 'hot' pepper flakes were not hot-which means they are old!, there was so much packaging-environmental nightmare- the noodles had a weird flavor by themselves.
    I still have most of it sitting in my fridge after 2 weeks because I cannot bear to through out something I spent so much time and money on.
    Gave it two stars because it's much better tasting than the 10 cent ramen.
