Spicy Miso And Mushroom Ramen Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, brown the pork for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, green onions, mushrooms and konbu until fragrant. Stir in the miso, sesame oil, mirin, sugar, salt, sesame oil, chile-garlic sauce and white pepper. Add the stock and water. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes (do not boil). Taste and adjust the seasoning. Remove the seaweed before serving.
• Hold the broth warm while assembling the bowls; do not boil. Bring to a near boil just before serving over the noodles and garnishes such as ramen eggs, chashu pork belly, green onions, bean sprouts and nori sheets.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or stockpot, warm the toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent. Add 1 cup of the mushrooms and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Add the miso paste and tahini and stir to coat the onion and mush­rooms. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Watch your heat carefully and reduce to medium-low, if needed, or the soup can “break” or separate. Pour in the mirin and deglaze the pan. Pour in the water and stir well to dissolve all the miso paste.
• Bring the soup up to a light simmer over high heat and whisk in the chili paste or Sriracha sauce; start with 2 tablespoons to be safe, then add more as desired, and mix well to dissolve. Reduce the heat to medium-high.
• In a separate medium saucepan, bring some water to a boil. Add the ra­men noodles, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, remove the noodles from the boiling water or drain the noodles in a colander.
• Divide the noodles among four bowls. Add the spinach and green onions to each bowl. Top each bowl equally with the reserved 1 cup mushrooms, the egg, avocado, chili oil, togarashi, and nori as desired, ladle broth over, and serve.
