XO Mazemen: Mix It Up With a Broth-less Ramen

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here XO Mazemen: Mix It Up With a Broth-less Ramen Mazemen, which translates from Japanese to "mixed noodles," is a soup-less variety of ramen. This version of mazemen relies heavily on the intense flavor of XO sauce, the jam-like savory condiment that originated in Hong Kong and includes powerful ingredients like cured ham, dried scallops, and dried shrimp. Here, ramen noodles are mixed thoroughly with XO, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and fat, which combine with the starch from the noodles to form a creamy, emulsified sauce that coats each and every snappy, slippery strand. XO mazemen can be eaten at any time of day and can accommodate a large variety of toppings. The best part of all is that the dish comes together in about as much time as it takes to boil the noodles. Read More → The Kitchen Essential Extra-Large Mixing Bowl Using a larger-than-needed mixing bowl allows you to vigorously stir the noodles, which helps the oil and liquid components combine with the starch on the exterior of the cooked noodles to form a creamy sauce.
