Asian Mushroom Ramen Noodles Food

ASIAN MUSHROOM RAMEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Add the garlic, ginger, onion, mushrooms, and 3 tablespoons of sesame oil to a large skillet or jumbo cooker
• Cook over medium high heat for 30 minutes or so, stirring often, until mushrooms release liquid and cook down. You will know they are done once all of the water has evaporated and the mushrooms start to stick to the skillet and get those tasty browned edges on them
• Once the mushrooms are almost done, boil a pot of hot water and cook 3 blocks of instant ramen noodles. Discard the flavor packets, you will not use them.
• Shake together a batch of the homemade stir fry sauce in a mason jar
• Once the ramen noodles are cooked, add them to the mushrooms, and pour the stir fry sauce over the top
• Use tongs to stir and cook an additional 3 - 5 minutes, until the sauce is coated and the mushrooms are mixed with the noodles
• Serve topped with sweet chili sauce

MUSHROOM RAMEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine shiitake mushrooms and 2 cups hot water; let stand until softened, about 20-30 minutes. Drain, reserving the mushroom water, before coarsely chopping; set aside. Heat canola oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic, shallot, and ginger, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved shiitake mushrooms until golden and browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in reserved mushroom water, chicken stock, white miso paste, soy sauce and bacon. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until flavors have blended, about 15-20 minutes. Remove and discard bacon. Stir in assorted mushrooms; simmer until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in ramen until noodles are just tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in rice wine vinegar; season with additional soy sauce and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with soft boiled eggs and green onions.

SPICY ASIAN RAMEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and ginger together in a small bowl. Add peanut butter, whisking until well combined, and set aside.
• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Discard the flavor packet and add ramen noodles to the boiling water. Cook until noodles are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain noodles, reserving some of the noodle water in case you need to thin out the sauce later.
• Pour sauce over ramen noodles, tossing until well coated. If sauce is too thick, thin out with a small amount of the reserved noodle water until you reach your desired consistency. Your hot noodles will soak up the sauce. Garnish with peanuts and green onion, and serve.
