Umaka-chan is one of the popular instant noodles in Japan. The brand has been loved by lots of people for a long time. These days, expensive instant noodles are very popular, but Umaka-chan is old-style and lovable instant noodle. The noodle is fried and curly. The soup is powdery. This time, I’ll make some changes. I want to eat Umaka Fuji Ramen, which is described on the website of Umaka-chan, with lots of bean sprout. The look of the complete ramen dish will be like Mt.Fuji. That seems a little tip. Now, let’s start cooking.

Heat oil in a frying pan, and add 400g of bean sprout until they are ready to eat. Season them with some salt and pepper. I don’t have a frying pan, so I use a pot instead. Next, boil 550ml of water and then put noodles in it. Keep boiling it for 3 minutes. When the noodle is ready, remove the pot from heat and add powdery soup to it and blend them well. Put the noodles in a bowl and add the cooked bean sprout on top of that. In the end, put the boiled egg on top of them. The tip is to decorate bean sprout like Mt. Fuji and the boiled egg like the rising sun. When I cooked it, I couldn’t make the noodle look like the mountain in the picture maybe because I overcooked the bean sprout. A very small mountain was created in the middle of the bowl. Because the amount of the bean sprout was not much, the boiled egg didn’t look like the rising sun. Not impressed, but the taste was good.

As the package of the ramen says thick Tonkotsu taste, the soup is actually thick. Lots of the bean sprout and the boiled egg bring out the taste of the soup. Although there are lots of vegetables in the bowl, the soup doesn’t become watery. This ramen is healthy thanks to lots of vegetables. If you want to try instant noodles which Japanese normally eat, this is the one.
