Saimin Dashi Pack Recipes

EASY KINE SAIMIN (HAWAIIAN RAMEN)

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a pot; add eggs and boil until yolks are barely set, about 6 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in the same pot. Add noodles and dashi. Cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes.
• Divide soup and noodles between 2 bowls; add eggs, luncheon meat, and green onion.

HAWAIIAN SAIMIN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium-high heat, add water and salt; bring to a boil. Add soba noodles and boil 4 to 6 minutes until al dente. Remove from heat, drain, and rinse under warm, running water.
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, add chicken broth and ginger; bring just to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Add soy sauce and your favorite toppings; simmer for 5 minutes longer or until toppings are cooked. Remove from heat.
• Place cooked soba noodles in a large soup bowl; spoon broth mixture (with toppings) over the top and serve.

FRIED SAIMIN

Steps:

• First step is to prepare all the topping ingredients. Slice the Spam and kamaboko (aim for the size of a fat matchstick). Peel and julienne the carrot. Beat the egg, scramble the egg, and then sliced thinly. Chop the green onion. Set all this on the side.
• Next, prepare the noodles. Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Drop in the frozen noodle and cook for 30 seconds. Remove and drain immediately. Rinse with cool water (this stops the noodles from further cooking and also removes excess starch).
• Now we start cooking! Put a little oil in a saucepan, and pan fry the Spam over medium heat. Pan fry for 2-3 minutes (until it starts to brown a bit). Then add the kamaboko and carrots. Pan fry another 2 minutes and then pour everything out into a bowl.
• Add a bit more oil to the empty saucepan, and then add in the saimin noodles. Stir fry for 2 minutes (longer for more crisp noodles, less for softer noodles). Add in half the seasoning packet and mix well so that the seasoning is evenly distributed.
• Add the Spam/kamaboko/carrots back in the pack. Stir fry everything together and add in the remaining half of the seasoning packet and a teaspoon of soy sauce. Sitr fry another minute. Add in the sliced egg and green onions. Toss quickly, and pour onto a plate. Eat and enjoy! ^_^
