Dining in the Next Normal: Be A Ramen Chef at Home with the Chicken Paitan King Ramen to Go by Ramen Nagi

Dining at home is the new normal and Ramen Nagi lets you be the ramen chef in yet another ingenious product innovation born out of the prolonged quarantine...

Recreating your favorite specialty ramen at home can be tedious, requiring specific ingredients of the highest quality and a certain skill set. The convenient Ramen to Go by Ramen Nagi allows you to prepare a bowl in mere minutes, served warm and fresh on your table with the same quality and flavor you'd expect from your favorite ramen shop. Home D-I-Y Kits have become part of many restaurants' culinary offerings to address the new normal. I tried being a ramen chef at home with the new Chicken Paitan King, and it was a breeze with Ramen Nagi's Ramen to Go... 

The home kitchen was once again the hub of activities in many households during the quarantine, and it's a trend that will most likely continue for many more months. But that doesn't mean missing out on your favorite bowl of ramen from Ramen Nagi. Restaurants like Ramen Nagi have adapted with creative product innovations... 

...allowing customers to recreate the dining experience at home with the new Ramen to Go box containing all the ingredients you need for two sumptuous servings. Each box contains the Chicken Paitan Soup, fresh ramen noodles, sliced chicken thighs, kikurage and minced garlic (L). The instructions are detailed on the box (R).

Each Ramen to Go box is made fresh daily and frozen to maintain Ramen Nagi's quality and freshness. As such, orders are on a limited first order first served basis. This allows Ramen Nagi to extend its presence to homes with the easy and convenient Ramen to Go boxes of their specialty ramen. That restaurant experience can now be recreated at home, and it all comes in a box. Innovations like this continue to define the new normal as more restaurants adapt with the current reality.

The Chicken Paitan King (P 790 good for two) is the first ramen creation by Ramen Nagi that doesn't use a rich pork broth as its base. Instead, a light yet flavorful chicken soup base is paired with thin noodles topped with juicy slices of roasted boneless chicken thighs and fresh vegetables. Once ordered and delivered, your Chicken Paitan King Ramen to Go has to be consumed within three days so you can enjoy the specialty ramen by Ramen Nagi at its fresh and flavorful peak.

The instructions are clearly marked on the label, and it's quite easy to follow. To prepare the broth, simply boil or microwave for five minutes. For the noodles, place the fresh noodles in boiling water for around 20 seconds for that springy texture then drain and set aside. For the chicken, blanch the plastic packet for 10 minutes in boiling water and approximately 30 seconds for the vegetable packets. As an option, you may also add a soft-boiled egg to your bowl. Arrange all the components, divided equally in two portions, on two bowls and you have a serving of your #FavoriteRamen at home. Easy. 

I imagined the chicken stock to be lighter and more subtle in flavor compared to the usual pork broth. It is thinner and lighter but the flavors are just as bold and intense as the pork tonkotsu ramen. The juicy chicken adds to the richness of the ramen, followed by the nutty sharpness of the minced garlic. Each noodle is draped with the rich and unctuous broth, bursting with vibrant notes with every bite. And the tender chicken adds its own layer of savory notes to your bowl. It's just the way you'd expect a bowl of specialty ramen at Ramen Nagi, recreating your #FavoriteRamen experience. And you've done it five minutes in the comfort of your own home. Like a ramen chef. The flavors are spot on and the ease of preparing two servings of Ramen Nagi's specialty ramen makes it another value-packed addition to their regular offerings. Order your Ramen to Go from Ramen Nagi and be a ramen chef at home, with everything you need delivered to your doorstep in a box.
