As Seen On
Ramen originated in China during the 1800s. Chinese immigrants took this idea of noodles in a soup-like broth to Japan during the 19th or 20th century. As a result, China Towns began emerging all over Japan which helped ramen's popularity soar. Eventually, ramen spread around the world. Nevertheless, we are grateful to the Chinese for coming up with the recipe for delicious ramen.
This version of ramen features the instant pot. Sesame oil, garlic, ginger, Shiitake mushrooms, water, vegetable broth, noodles, scallions, sesame seeds, Nori, and soy sauce come together to make the most delicious bowl of Instant Pot Ramen. Best of all, this ramen is ready in 20 minutes.
Can you make instant ramen in an Instant Pot?
Instant ramen is designed to cook within 2-3 minutes. Unfortunately, instant ramen cannot be cooked in an instant pot. It may make the noodles mushy and give them a weird texture.
How long does it take to cook ramen noodles in an Instant Pot?
The time it takes to cook ramen depends on its ingredients. Since this is vegetarian ramen, it takes about 10 minutes to cook. In contrast, if the ramen contained chicken or pork, it could take up to 15-20 minutes to cook.
Are you supposed to drain the water from Ramen noodles?
It depends. Instant ramen manufacturers do advise draining the water from the ramen noodles. However, if you made ramen from scratch, I don't think you would want to waste all that delicious broth. In this case, the only way you should discard the broth is if cooked the noodles in a separate pot. However, if you added the noodles to the broth, serve it with the broth.
Can I lose weight eating ramen?
Instant noodles may not cause weight loss. Each bowl of ramen has 410 calories, 57 grams of which are carbs. Therefore, ramen is a dish best eaten in moderation.
