Miso Caramelised Onion Ramen

Method6 steps

1. 1

   Step 1: Heat the 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the whole large onion, thinly sliced, and the listed pinch of salt (1 pinch). Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and sweet, lowering the heat if needed to prevent burning. Start checking at the card’s 10–12-minute guide and continue until that endpoint; the author also notes slow caramelisation can take 30–40 minutes. Lift out all the browned onions and set aside, leaving the actual remaining pan fat for the next step.

   Step 5: Boil the noodle blocks from both Shin Ramyun packages in enough separate water, following the actual package directions; leave their seasoning packets out. Drain the cooked noodles. Fold all the browned onions reserved from step 1 back into the creamy shrimp-miso sauce, then immediately toss in all the drained noodles until coated.
