About this dish
Sapporo miso ramen is a Hokkaido specialty featuring a thick broth designed to provide warmth during cold winters.

The cooking process begins by sautéing minced garlic and ginger, followed by ground pork to render its fat. Cabbage and bean sprouts are then stir-fried briefly over high heat to maintain their crisp texture. The base uses a chicken broth mixed with miso paste. The miso is dissolved into the hot liquid after turning off the heat, as boiling would disperse its aroma. The dish is assembled by pouring this rich broth over separately cooked thick, curly ramen noodles that trap the savory soup in their curves. It is finished with sweet corn kernels and a pat of butter placed in the center. As the butter melts into the hot broth, it adds a smooth texture and rich flavor.
