Ever been in love with a vegan dish? It’s happened to me, and more times than I can recall. Not just a casual interest, but a profound connection where you’re constantly considering its delightful essence, and it sneaks into your daydreams. Think I’ve whisked it off to the culinary deep end? Maybe.—But trust me, when you indulge in this Lemongrass Miso Ramen you’ll appreciate vegan and plant based recipes.

You know this delicious and unique lemongrass miso ramen is made with a completely satisfying taste that tastes like Asian (If you can’t travel to asian countries yet, why not bring their country in your kitchen, right?)  pairing aromatic lemongrass with the deep, rich embrace of miso, all rounded out by earthy mushrooms.

GREAT FOR:

Those evenings when you wrap yourself in a cozy blanket, wanting comfort in a dish (Well, it’s fall season anyways). Family dinners, or perhaps a quiet lunch on your balcony, soaking in the sun, cherishing every bite.

Brown Rice Millet Noodles

1. Bring 4 QTs of water to boil.
2. Add salt.
3. Add the noodles and check after 2 minutes, start pulling them apart gently using 2 forks or twizzers until they are all separated. Make sure you separate all of them otherwise they will be hard and it won’t taste good the raw noodle.
4. After 4-5 minute cooking take it out of the water and place it in a colander. Rinse in cold water for a minute or until cold to stop them from keep cooking. 
5. Let them drain and use or if you are going to store them add a little bit of oil so they don’t stick to each other and then place them into a sealed container. 

Pickled Veggies

1. Heat olive oil in a pot, add veggies and bay leaf, cook for a minute.
2. Add Sichuan pepper and stir for 15 seconds.
3. Add salt and vinegar, cook until it reduces down to about 1-2 tbsp.
4. Transfer to a sterilized jar.

Roasted Portobello Mushrooms

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F with the sheet tray inside.

Grilled Oyster Mushrooms

1. Preheat the grill.
2. Toss mushrooms in olive oil and salt.
3. Grill each side for a minute, aiming for grill marks and flavor. 

Tip: place a pan on top of the mushrooms and something heavy so the mushrooms are always in contact with the pan and get a nice seared.

2. Pour the hot broth in to the bowl from the side and enjoy it.

Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms or add tofu for an extra protein boost. If you like a touch of spice, sprinkle some chili flakes for that extra zing!

This ramen tastes best when fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the broth, noodles, and toppings separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat the broth on the stove, and assemble your delicious bowl of ramen!
