Ingredients

Nissin Demae Iccho 100% Hokkaido Wheat Ramen (Shrimp Flavor): 1 pack
Water: 450 ml
Tofu Puffs: 3–4 pieces (halved)
Edamame: 2 tablespoons (shelled or in pods)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Simmer Tofu Puffs & Edamame

Bring 450ml of water to a boil in a pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the included seasoning packet from the ramen package. Cut the tofu puffs into halves so they can absorb the broth easily. Add the halved tofu puffs and edamame to the boiling broth. Lower heat to medium-low and let them simmer for 3 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Hokkaido Noodles

After 3 minutes of simmering the toppings, add the shrimp flavor ramen noodles directly into the pot, laying them on top of the broth. Cook on medium heat for another 3 minutes until the noodles are thoroughly cooked, firm, and elastic.

Step 3: Add Bean Sprouts & Serve

When the 3 minutes are up, remove the pot from the heat immediately. Toss in a fresh handful of bean sprouts so they stay delightfully crisp without turning soggy. Serve hot and enjoy!

Pro Tips for Maximum Flavor

Always Halve the Tofu Puffs: Slicing tofu puffs in half exposes their porous interior, allowing them to soak up the rich, fragrant shrimp broth like sponges.
Add Bean Sprouts Off the Heat: Never boil bean sprouts for too long! Adding them right after turning off the fire preserves their signature refreshing crunch.
Optional Protein Boost: Feel free to throw in a few fresh or frozen peeled prawns during the final 3 minutes alongside the noodles for an extra seafood kick!
