Ingredients
- 15g dried mushrooms
- 2l boiling water
- 4 Enriched eggs
- 1 tablespoon groundnut oil
- 1 large onion, finely sliced
- 6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 3cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
- 400g mixed mushrooms (oyster, shiitake or other exotic mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 tablespoons low-salt soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 200g ramen or fine egg noodles
- 150g leafy seasonal greens, finely sliced
- 200g leftover cooked chicken
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
- Coriander leaves, lime wedges, sliced chilli or chilli oil, to serve
Method
- Put the dried mushrooms in a large jug and pour over 2 litres of boiling water. Leave to one side.
- Heat the oil in a large deep-frying pan or wok over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic, cover with a lid and cook for 15 mins, stirring regularly. Remove the lid, add the ginger, and cook for a final 10 mins, until beginning to caramelise.
- Meanwhile heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Dry fry the mushrooms for around 5 mins, in batches until all the moisture has been released and they are beginning to char. Remove to a plate and drizzle over 1 tablespoon soy.
- Finely chop the soaked mushrooms and put to one side. Pour the mushroom water over the softened onions. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low.
- Combine the chopped soaked mushrooms, miso paste, tahini, soy sauce and mirin in a bowl with 1 tablepoon broth. Whisk into the broth and keep on a low heat as you cook the eggs.
- Boil the eggs for 7 mins in a pan of boiled water, until jammy and soft. Drain. Run under cold water and then peel.
- Add the noodles and leafy greens to the ramen broth and cook for 2-3 mins. Tip in the leftover cooked chicken and reheat for a couple of mins.
- Divide the noodles and broth between the bowls. Top with the charred mushrooms and halved boiled eggs. Finish with toasted sesame seeds, coriander leaves, red chilli, and a squeeze of lime juice.
