Notes
Recipe Notes:
- Mushroom options: Shiitake, cremini, or oyster mushrooms are rich in flavors. Combine different types of mushrooms for a rich and robust flavor.
- Ramen choices: When possible, do not use the instant ramen with the seasoning that comes with the pocket. Use brown rice ramen noodles, udon noodles, or rice ramen noodles.
- Miso paste selection: Miso paste comes in different varieties, such as white (shiro) and red (aka). White miso is milder and slightly sweeter, while red miso has a stronger and saltier taste. Experiment with them to find what flavor you like.
- Storage: Allow to cool and transfer into a glass container. Store in the refrigerator for 3 days. The noodles will soak most of the broth. When ready to reheat, add enough water or broth and season with salt and pepper to taste.
