Ramen broth my dears, is my new go-to in the kitchen. I’m currently captivated by ramen dishes and trying all sorts of things. In the process, I noticed that I often lacked the base for a truly exceptional taste experience. A vegetable broth powder can’t deliver that, so I wanted to design my own ramen broth. No sooner said than done! I hope that I can inspire you with it.
Make ramen broth yourself – vegan
In the production of a classic vegetable broth, celery, leeks and carrots are usually used. In our case, today it will be a little more exotic, because we use dried shiitake mushrooms and kumbu seaweed. The broth is really not hard to make and the only thing you should plan on is time and a large pot with at least 4 liters of capacity.
Let’s move on to the ingredients. Olive oil, onion, garlic, celery, potato, apple, kumbu seaweed, dried shiitake, salt and water. All this is sweated in a large pot and poured with water. After 45-60 minutes, the flavors of each ingredient are cooked out and I pour everything off through a strainer. Unlike classic soups, the cooked vegetables are discarded, leaving behind a wonderful, flavored broth.
TIP: For the broth, the vegetables used do not need to be peeled as finely as for an ordinary soup. For example, the onion and garlic can be cooked with peel, as the vegetable is disposed of afterwards.
Vegan asian soups
Let’s move on to the two exotic ingredients that probably not everyone has around the house. Dried shiitake mushrooms and Kombu algae . I also bought the two ingredients specifically for this recipe, but look forward to making more recipes with them. Both ingredients have a very good shelf life and I think a purchase is worthwhile in any case.
Shiitake mushrooms have a high content of B vitamins and makes them a perfect food for vegans. Especially in the Vitamin B6 the mushroom provides even higher values than most meats. In addition, the mushroom is rich in Magnesium , has antibacterial and antiviral effects . Perfect, therefore, also for the cold season.
Kumbu algae has a slightly sweet taste and is the absolute leader in terms of vitamin and mineral content. The alga is rich in Iodine and should be enjoyed only in moderation. But you don’t need to worry about 1-2 servings of broth, here the health benefits outweigh in any case. From my point of view, algae are generally underestimated as they are extremely good suppliers of nutrients.
TIP: If you want to make the broth spicier, add a chili and/or ginger to the broth.
