While there are many ways to make ramen<\/a>, the three basic varieties of ramen broth are miso<\/em> (from fermented soy beans), shio<\/em> (from salt) and shoyu<\/em><\/a> (from soy sauce).\r\n\r\nMiso ramen, the type we're making today, is characterized by its silky rich umami<\/a>-packed broth made with miso paste<\/a>. While the classic pork-based broth typically takes a long time to brew to extract and concentrate flavor, we'll show you how to speed up the process at home. The recipe is wonderfully customizable to anyone's tastes.\r\n

What Is Miso Ramen?<\/h3>\r\nMiso, made from fermented soybeans, is the base of miso ramen broth. It's all about creating an umami-packed broth with tons of flavor. You can find miso paste in white, red or mixed (awase miso<\/em>) flavors; the darker the color, the bolder the flavor. Any flavor works for this dish and will yield a slightly different flavor profile.\r\n

How Do You Make Miso Ramen?<\/h3>\r\nTo make the broth, you'll need to first make a dashi, a type of Japanese stock. You can do this by combining kombu<\/em><\/a> (dried seaweed) and dried shiitake mushrooms for a vegan dashi. Then saute aromatics like garlic, ginger and onions to bring out a natural sweetness. Combine it all with water, flavorings like soy sauce and sesame oil and, finally, miso paste. Hungry for more?

Cook noodles so they're al dente and perhaps top the bowl with a boiled egg, bok choy and corn.\r\n
