Ramen is such a celebrated dish around the world, it's the perfect combination of textures and flavours. It's a labour of love and certainly if anybody has gone to the trouble of making you a bowl of ramen, it must indeed be love.
This kit box of ingredients is everything you need to make a variety of different ramen dishes but we have tailored it towards our recipe for Short Rib Beef Ramen.
Ramen Noodles
The key difference that separates Ramen noodles from other noodles is that they are made with alkaline salts. This gives them a springy, bouncy texture.
Hamadaya Dashi Stock
Making your own dashi stock will give you the best results, however for pure convenience this Hamadaya Dashi stock is fantastic, it will give your ramen broth character and depth of flavour - just like using chicken and veg stock does. To use this stock, mix 1 part Hamadaya Dashi with 10 parts water.
Gochujang
This Korean fermented hot pepper paste adds so much to broths and sauces, it's kind of like a spicy miso paste.
Dried Shiitake Mushrooms
Drying mushrooms intensifies the flavour, they are like little flavour bombs that add umami by the spade full.
Mirin
This sweet cooking wine has a sweet flavour with that's really versatile and widely used in lots of Japanese recipes.
Toasted Sesame Seeds
The flavour of sesame seeds are transformed when you toast them, they become rich and nutty and great for sprinkling on your finished dish.
La-Yu Chilli Oil
Drizzling a flavoured oil on your Ramen really brings the whole dish together and this little bottle packs a punch.
Beni Shoga (Pickled Ginger)
This pickled ginger is similar to the pickled ginger you'd find served with sushi, but this one is cut in thin, julienned strips

This is a wonderful rice for making a creamy risotto. I’m now on, at least, my third packet and would thoroughly recommend that you try this rice for your next risotto too. I’m confident you will not be disappointed.
Somerset Foodie jumped on my order and delivered delightful Italian treats ahead of time. Very much appreciated, thank you
I was very happy to receive my order within the stated timescale and we could enjoy the items I ordered, especially the chicken stock and noodles as I had run out of both!. I’m looking forward to trying some new products next time I order. The friendly emails, great products and speedy service set this business apart from other suppliers. Thank you Ben and Alice!
Been buying this from Somerset Foodie for a couple of years.
Why?
Because it’s the best rice we’ve come across … and why settle for anything but the best?
