Vegetarian Ramen (Mushroom)


Vegetarian Ramen Broth.

Ingredients:

 

For the Broth:

 

1 tablespoon miso paste

1 tablespoon black bean paste

1 tablespoon palm sugar

100 ml coconut milk

1/2 shallot, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

200 ml water

1 tablespoon sesame oil

MSG or salt, to season

For Protein:

 

150g tofu, cubed OR 100g soya chunks, rehydrated

2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)

For Garnish:

 

100g shiitake mushrooms, sliced

1 cup bean sprouts

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 shallot, thinly sliced and fried until crispy

For Ramen:

 

200g ramen noodles


Instructions:

 

  • In a medium pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add diced shallot and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. 
  • Add miso paste, black bean paste, and palm sugar to the pot. Stir well to combine with the shallot and garlic.
  • Pour in coconut milk and water. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Allow the broth to simmer gently over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring flavors meld together. 
  • Season the broth with MSG or salt according to taste preference. 
  • In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. 
  • While the noodles are cooking, prepare the protein. If using tofu, you can lightly pan-fry the cubes until golden brown. If using soya chunks, rehydrate them according to package instructions.
  • If using soft-boiled eggs, cook them for about 6-7 minutes in boiling water, then transfer to ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel and slice them in half.
  • Once the noodles are cooked and the protein is ready, assemble the ramen bowls. Divide the cooked noodles and protein between two serving bowls. 
  • Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and protein in each bowl. 
  • Arrange the sliced shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, and soft-boiled egg halves on top of each bowl. 
  • Garnish each bowl with sesame seeds and fried shallots.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegetarian ramen!

 

Note: Feel free to customize your ramen by adding additional toppings such as sliced green onions, nori seaweed, or a drizzle of chili oil according to your preference.
