Instructions

How to Make

Sauté Aromatics: Heat your oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and onion, sautéing for 5-8 minutes until the onions are golden and fragrant.
Deglaze: Pour in 1 cup of vegetable stock, scraping up the bits from the pot with a wooden spoon.
Simmer Broth: Add the remaining stock, tamari, and dehydrated shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and let it cook on low for at least 1 hour.
Flavor Check: After simmering, adjust the seasonings. Stir in the miso paste until fully dissolved.
Prepare Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles in boiling water according to the package instructions for about 4-5 minutes.
Assemble: Strain the broth to remove the mushrooms. Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls, ladle the warm broth over them, and garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

Always store your ramen components separately to prevent noodles from becoming soggy.
