Miso Ramen with okra, shiitake mushroom and carrot toppings
Miso Ramen with nori shreds, shanghai green, mock meat and carrot toppingsHave I gone crazy about Ramen? No, not me! Just to finish up all the Ramen that was sitting in the freezer, so I decide to have a different variant – Miso. Miso Broth for Japanese Ramen is common. Veg*n version is not difficult to recreate. Of course, if you have good broth, it definitely gives this dish a boost. As for the shiitake mushroom and okra, you can blanch them in the broth prior to adding miso and rice wine to broth.
Oh yeah, keep the kelps to make a Seasoned Kelps side dish or added to this Miso Ramen if desired. Shredded kelps might looks more appealing compare to kelps in knots.

Hey Sunny,
ReplyDeleteThe mushroom, I 'cut' them on top to have the pattern.
As for the mock meat, remember you mention a particular good mock meat that musty-try, i got something similar early this year and was sitting in my refrigerator till it comes to use :p Mock meat, I just sliced them.
On the whole, these presentation were not good enough, it was a rush job - so there is plenty space to explore.
Zen Art (Simplicity) or something with appropriate content arranged in the most efficient, graceful manner - SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL & BALANCED WAY. Nothing lacking. Nothing superfluous. Not decorated, but wonderfully designed. Looks GOOD, and also Tastes GOOD, was what I had in mind but due lack of time, with a hungry tummy and the perfect mood to do it nicely ...
