Made Ramen for the first time yesterday (vegetarian)

I‘ve only eaten Ramen a few times at restaurants. A few days ago I was in a supermarket where they had everything, and was like what the hell, I‘ll buy some shiitake and make Ramen. (Didn’t think to google again before leaving and forgot kombu, unfortunately).

This is vegetarian and probably not super traditional. I‘ll try to go through what I did, and I‘ll be happy about any tips for the future.

I made some stock by baking celery, carrots, onions, springonions, scraps and shiitake coated in miso. I then added water and simmered and reduced it for 2-3h.

I made my dashi by infusing water with only shiitake (because I was lacking kombu). Then almost boiled it and took the mushrooms out.

I then fried some ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, chilli flakes and miso in toasted sesame oil. Added soy sauce, bit of rice vinegar, bit of vegetarian oyster sauce, then added the dashi, some soy milk and some of my vegetable stock. Added some salt and some soy sauce.

For my toppings I coated some tofu in starch and fried it, boiled some broccoli, boiled and lightly fried some green beans, used some pickled soy-sprouts, greens of green onions. But the most happy I was with my famen eggs (marinated for only a few hours), that turned out exactly the way I wanted them.
