Try recreating a famous anime dish (e.g., Naruto’s ramen, Onigiri from Fruits Basket, Sanji’s curry). Here's one of our favorites: Ingredients (2 servings) Broth - 4 cups chicken stock - 2 cups pork broth (or substitute with more chicken stock) - 1 tbsp soy sauce - 1 tbsp miso paste - 1 tbsp mirin - 1 tsp sesame oil - 1 tsp grated ginger - 1 clove garlic, minced Toppings - 2 soft-boiled eggs (yolks slightly runny) - 4 slices braised pork belly (chashu) or roasted pork - 2 narutomaki fish-cake slices (pink swirl) - ½ cup blanched spinach or bok choy - ½ cup sliced green onions - ½ carrot, cut into flower shapes (optional for the anime look) Noodles - 2 servings fresh ramen noodles(or dried ramen if fresh isn’t available) Naruto Ramen (Anime Skool Chef Edition) Instructions 1. Build the Broth: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Add the chicken and pork broths, soy sauce, miso paste, and mirin. Stir until the miso fully dissolves. Lower the heat and let the broth simmer for 30 to 40 minutes to develop flavor. Skim off any foam that rises to the top so the broth stays clear. 2. Prepare the Toppings. Soft-boiled eggs: Boil eggs for 6½ minutes, transfer to ice water, peel, and cut in half. You can marinate them in soy sauce and mirin if you like. Pork belly (chashu): Sear the slices in a hot pan until golden and caramelized. Optionally glaze with soy sauce and mirin for shine. Vegetables and narutomaki: Blanch greens and carrots for about 30 seconds, then cool under cold water. Slice narutomaki thinly. 3. Cook the Noodles. Bring water to a boil in a separate pot. Add noodles and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and toss lightly with a few drops of sesame oil to prevent sticking. 4. Assemble Like an Anime Skool Chef: Place noodles neatly into each bowl. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles. Arrange toppings — pork, eggs, narutomaki, greens, and carrots . Sprinkle green onions on top and add nori if you want. Finish with a drizzle of sesame or chili oil for aroma.
