I am a huge fan of ramen, and this Mushroom and Egg Ramen is really amazing!
The biggest secret of making ramen is in the broth. Whether it’s a very thin, liquid broth or a creamier broth, the trick is to make it from scratch.
Start with dashi, the base of a simple Japanese broth. I explain in the recipe how to make it.?This dashi was taught to me by a Chef and it is really very good.
When I’m in a hurry or when I want a simpler ramen as was the case with this recipe, I make the dashi and use it as a broth, without adding anything else.
But you can add coconut milk, to make it creamier, or a vegetable broth or even a chicken broth with a thicker texture. It is game changing!
How to make this Mushroom and Egg Ramen?
Well, this ramen has a few steps, but to tell you the truth it’s pretty simple.
Start by making some simple dashi and use that as the broth for the ramen. Meanwhile, boil the noodles, sauté the vegetables, and boil the egg.
Then just assemble your ramen bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
For this recipe you’ll need:
- Water
- Kombu seaweed
- Dehydrated shiitake mushrooms
- Bonito flakes
- Miso paste
- Soy sauce
- Udon noodles
- Shimeji mushrooms
- Pak choi
- Sesame oil
- Egg
- Black sesame seeds
What are the tricks to getting this Mushroom and Egg Ramen right?
- Make a dashi from scratch.
- Let the miso paste dissolve well, so that the dashi is slightly creamy.
- Remove the kombu seaweed and bonito flakes so the dashi doesn’t get too intense.
- Boil the noodles separately, so that they are al dente. The noodles cook very quickly, so pay attention to the instructions on the package.
- Saute the vegetables before assembling everything, so that they cook slightly, but remain crispy.
