🍲 Ingredients

Black Garlic – This black garlic recipe has a rich and creamy texture (like butter). It’s kinda sweet and tangy and has hints of balsamic and garlic. It’s so good and adds complexity to any dish. This type of garlic is made by essentially aging the garlic. You can do this in your Instant Pot, or a slow cooker even! If you don’t have any black garlic or the hot sauce, swap it for 1 clove of fresh garlic and use your favorite hot sauce!

Napa Cabbage – Napa cabbage is also known as Chinese cabbage. It is a leafy veggie that has a mild pepper flavor with a crisp texture. Napa cabbage is often used in Asian cuisine like kimchi, stir-fries, and soups. Bonus points for it also being so good for you with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.

🗒 Tips and Tricks

• Customize this recipe: Add any other vegetables you wish to this dish, and make it your own! 
• Add Toppings: Toppings like soft-boiled eggs (with a runny yolk), green onions, bamboo shoots, corn, nori (seaweed), and mushrooms not only enhance the flavor but also add texture to the dish. Don’t forget a protein like tofu, chicken, pork, or beef for a satisfying meal.
• Broth: A flavorful broth is the foundation of great ramen. If you’re short on time, use store-bought broth, but for the best results, try simmering your own! A rich, savory broth made from chicken, pork, or even vegetable stock, combined with miso or soy sauce, will make a big difference.
