Sapporo Miso Ramen

Sapporo miso ramen is a regional noodle soup associated with Hokkaido’s capital. A characteristic preparation begins in a wok with lard, minced pork and garlic. Vegetables are fried before broth is added and brought to a simmer. Miso gives the soup its fermented-bean flavour, while the wok preparation brings the cooked vegetables and pork into the broth.[1]

Medium-thick wavy noodles are used with the rich soup. Sliced chashu pork is a familiar topping, and butter and corn can be added. These additions are optional rather than a requirement for every bowl. Local shops serve miso ramen ranging from comparatively mild flavours to more strongly flavoured broths.[1]
