This ramen base allows you to amp up your home made ramen and skip the instant noodles. I have a pack of ramen noodles on hand and with this base in the freezer, you can easily make a big bowl of ramen that tastes great and is super easy.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups mushrooms, sliced, I used shiitake mushrooms
1 ½ cup miso paste
½ cup maple syrup
2-3 cups veg stock
Method:
1. In a large pot, add the veg oil and mushrooms, cook until golden. Around 5 minutes over medium heat. Stirring to prevent browning. Add the miso, maple syrup and veg stock.
2. Bring to a boil and break up the miso with a wooden spoon. Let cool and place in your freezer cubes. Freeze for whenever you want to upgrade your instant ramen.
3. Once I was ready to dig in, I reheated a cube, then added more veg stock, roughly 1 cup per serving, then cooked some noodles and built my bowl with my hoisin TVP ‘beef’, green onions, cilantro and chilli oil. Let me know if you want the recipe for the hoisin TVP beef, it’s delicious!
