For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a soft-boiled egg to each bowl. If you can't find dashi powder, you can substitute with a vegetable bouillon cube or a small piece of kombu (dried kelp) simmered in the broth. Be careful not to overcook the scallops, as they can become rubbery. Aim for a golden-brown crust and a tender, slightly translucent center. Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference. Some prefer a saltier broth, while others prefer a more subtle flavor. Garnish with sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil for added visual appeal and nutty flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Ramen Noodles: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add ramen and cook, breaking up noodles as they soften, until tender yet firm to the bite (approximately 3 minutes). Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Divide noodles between two soup bowls.
02
StepInfuse the Broth: While the ramen is cooking, bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil in a separate pot. Stir in soy sauce, mirin, dashi powder, and rice vinegar. Reduce the heat to low and add mushrooms, green onions, and ginger; simmer until mushrooms are tender (3 to 5 minutes). Turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
03
StepSear the Scallops: Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and cook until opaque in the middle and golden brown on the edges (approximately 2 minutes per side).
04
StepAssemble and Serve: Pour 1/2 of the hot stock into each bowl over ramen, then top with seared scallops. Serve immediately and enjoy!
