Tenshinmen
- 5 1/2 cups Ramen Chicken Stock (page 10)
- 1 cup Shoyu Base (page 11)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 10 eggs
- 12 ounces crabs legs, removed from the shell and roughly shredded (can substitute imitation crabmeat)
- 1/4 cup garlic chives, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup spring peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup diced water chestnuts
- 2 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce
- Pinch each of salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 (7-ounce) pieces frozen ramen noodles
- To make the broth, combine the chicken stock and Shoyu Base in a pot and place over high heat.
- Bring just to a boil, then decrease the heat to low and cover to keep warm.
- Place another large pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil.
- To make the glaze, pour 1 cup of the shoyu broth into a small pot over high heat, and bring it to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water and stir it into the boiling broth.
- Decrease the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes, then decrease the heat to low and cover to keep warm.
- To prepare the omelets, beat the eggs in a large bowl.
- Mix in the crab, garlic chives, green peas, water chestnuts, soy sauce, and 1/2 cup of the shoyu broth, and season with the salt and pepper.
- Place a 9-inch nonstick saute pan over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot, pour in one-fourth of the egg mixture.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes over high heat, lightly stirring the center of the omelet with a large spoon, until most of the liquid has solidified.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook for 1 minute longer, then place a plate over the top of the pan, and flip the pan over in one fluid motion to invert the omelet onto the plate.
- Gently slide the omelet back into the pan with the cooked side up.
- Cook for 1 minute longer over low heat, then slide the omelet from the pan onto a plate.
- The omelet should be thick and golden brown on one side.
- Repeat with the remaining oil and egg mixture to make 3 more omelets.
- Cook the noodles in the boiling water, following package instructions.
- Drain well and divide among 4 bowls.
- Top each with an omelet, 1 1/4 cups shoyu broth, and 1/4 cup shoyu glaze.
- Serve hot.
