This dish is a fusion of traditional Japanese and Chinese elements with a unique coconut twist…
The dish combines bold flavors, vibrant colors, and a variety of textures, representing a thoughtfully crafted bowl of ramen.
Tokyo Ramen is a traditional style of ramen originating from Tokyo, Japan. It is characterized by its shoyu (soy sauce) base, which gives the broth a savory, slightly tangy flavor.
This Spicy Miso Coconut Tokyo Ramen balances bold heat, creamy richness, and umami depth with fresh and smoky elements. The kombu dashi base elevates the broth’s complexity, while the ‘dan dan’ chicken adds a hearty, flavorful punch. This dish is a modern, globally-inspired take on ramen, delivering a satisfying combination of textures and flavors in every bite.
