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.
