Miso Ramen *easy recipe
One of my favourite foods in Japan is a nice hot Ramen.
For when you are a Little peckish, or an easy Lunch with a friend, While travellling in Japan, I always visit a local ramen shop.
Many cities have their own original local Ramen speciality.
Soups, noodles types, Topping ….Ramens are available in various forms.
The basic flavour of this particular miso Ramen , made without the usual meat stock ,comes from the fermentation of the Kimchi.This provides a natural sources of Umami and a spicy hot taste which compliments the flavour of miso.
Its easy and much quicker than normal stocks.
The most important point is making this soupe the day before( even 2 days)
That’s allows time for all flavours to come together.
Kimchi gives savoury depth to Ramen broth.
Corn gives a sweetness,
Sesame oil gives a mild flavour.
