The Shio Ramen
The miso ramen soup recipe!

As you might know, there are four kinds of very popular ramen soups (Shio, Tonkotsu, Shoyu, Miso). The Miso soup is the most recent of the big four, as it started to be very popular around 1965. The dish was developed in the Hokkaido prefectures, the largest Japanese island at the north of the country.


The broth is made with plenty of Miso and chicken or fish broth. The Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning made by fermenting rice, soybeans, barley, salt and the Aspergillus oryzae, a filamentous fungus. The result is a sweet and hearty soup, with a robust flavor. Many toppings are popular in the variation of the Miso ramen soups, like bean paste, onions, leaks, ground pork, sesame seeds and many others.

The miso soup, as one of the top four kind of ramen in Japan is now very popular in many part of the country but also in more and more countries around the world. The supermarkets from many countries now features all the ingredients to make a great miso ramen soup.
