Super Kabuto Ramen SERVES : 1 | PREPARATION TIME 5 MINUTES | COOKING TIME 15 MINUTES
Fresh oily fish, kale and pomegranate seeds, garlic, ginger and honey and finally a zing of lime; so much superfood, this pot should be wearing a cape!
“A tablespoon’ish of soy, a squeeze’ish of lime and honey and there’s the marinade done” Kwoklyn muses to himself as he goes about massaging the fat salmon steaks.
Next the chopper flies as garlic and ginger are sliced to perfection in batons and fine dice whilst the noodles gently soften in their pot of boiling water and broth mixture. The hot wok sizzles as the salmon hits the surface and the air is filled with the rich aroma of honey and soy as the fillets gently caramelise under Kwoklyn’s watchful eye. Thick plumes of steam fill the room as the remaining marinade goes into the wok and then it’s a gentle simmer to fully cook the flesh and reduce the liquid to a sticky sauce before the salmon is put aside to rest and the wok is wiped clean and brought back to heat again.
Nothing comes close to the scent of garlic and ginger releasing their fragrance in the wok and if anything can help kale be as ‘Super’ as the health trends would have us believe, these are The Boys to do it! Pop it all in a dish and sprinkle from on high some flavour busting pomegranate seeds and your simple ramen is set to fly. A few tweaks here and there as the recipe translates from paper to bowl and ‘Super’ Ramen receives Kwoklyn’s stamp of approval.
Kale has rightfully earned its reputation as a superfood due to its exceptional nutritional profile. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium and potassium, kale offers a multitude of health benefits. Its high fiber content aids digestion and promotes satiety, while its antioxidants help combat inflammation and protect against chronic diseases. Kale is also an excellent source of iron, crucial for energy production, and is low in calories, making it a weight-loss-friendly option. Furthermore, its versatility allows for various culinary applications, from salads to smoothies, ensuring an easy and delicious way to incorporate this nutrient powerhouse into a balanced diet.

Hi, I'm Kwoklyn
I literally grew up in the kitchens of my parent's Chinese takeaways and restaurants.
I’m pretty sure if you cut me in half it would say “10 minute” (in a broad Chinese accent), which is pretty much what we told every customer who asked how long their order would be.
