Pot roast ramen with soy sauce egg

Published: 07.05.2021 » Last updated: 01.04.2023

The latest addition to our instant ramen hacks, pot roast ramen is served with slices of tender beef, hard-boiled eggs, bok choy and scallions.

Doesn’t look anything like instant ramen, eh? See, we had leftoverpot roastand because no one in the family likes eating a dish in nothing but reheated form, we always try to get creative with leftovers. Before wrapping the unsliced pot roast and putting it in the fridge, my daughter, Alex, and I already discussed what to do with it the next day.

Pot roast and gravy

Beef brisket browned in butter is simmered with herbs and spices, cooled and sliced. The cooking liquid is made into a gravy. The sliced beef is served with mashed potatoes with gravy poured over them.

Note that you don’t have to cook pot roast the way we did to make this dish. In fact, plain boiled beef will do. Just make sure that the meat is ultra tender and that it has been cut into really thin slices.

And the soy sauce eggs? Those were prepped ahead of time too. That’s why the total cooking time indicated in the recipe below is so short. See the linked post below for instructions on making soy sauce eggs.

They’re called shoyu tamago in Japanese. They are served as a snack, as a topping for congee and ramen, or as one of the many dishes in a bento box.

Okay, so, which component of this noodle soup came from a pack of instant ramen? Everything! The noodles, the dried vegetables and the seasonings. The noodles and dried vegetables were cooked in water and drained. The seasoning packet was stirred in water and heated. And then, all the upgrades happened.

Mild Jin Ramen is used in this recipe so the broth has a little heat (although the mayo downplays the spiciness well). If you want more heat, choose Jin Ramen labeled "spicy". If you prefer your ramen without the spice, any chicken, pork or beef ramen are okay to use.
