This vegetarian Ramen noodle soup was inspired by the new anime classic ‘Your Name’ or ‘Kimi no Na wa”. The base here is a homemade, fresh Dashi vegetable stock seasoned with soya sauce. It’s served with classic accompaniments that are popular with ramen noodles in Japan: spring onions, bamboo shoots, ajitsuke Tamago (click here for the recipe for marinated Ramen eggs) and spicy Kimchi.

Aufmerksam wurde ich auf dieses Gericht als ich im Kino zur Premiere von „Your Name“ saß. Plötzlich erschien eine dampfende Schüssel Ramen auf der Leinwand. Lecker! Ich dachte, dass möchte ich heute auf jeden Fall am Abend essen, da war ich mir sicher.

I didn’t even have to go shopping especially for it, as the recipe only requires a few ingredients – what a stroke of luck!</ strong> This culinary delight is rounded off with two types of chilli seasoning: Shichimi Togarashi (im Shop ansehen) and La-Yu (im Shop ansehen) – absolutely delicious!

The stock is a classic vegetable stock. This is cooked together with a vegan Dashi broth made from Kombu and Shiitake, and then simply seasoned with soy sauce and Sake to taste. In no time at all, this comforting Ramen noodle soup is ready.

Just a reminder: Ramen noodles are slightly wavy, yellowish wheat noodles of Chinese origin and are considered a delicious noodle soup and a real cult dish in Japan. A bowl of ramen consists of ramen noodles, broth plus Tare (seasoning sauce), hearty accompaniments and aromatic toppings.

So, the basis of a good bowl of delicious ramen is, of course, the ramen noodles (im Shop ansehen). They are long, springy and usually slightly wavy in shape. There are significant differences, particularly regionally, in the thickness of the noodles (from very thin to thick) and their degree of doneness (medium or firm).

Fresh, homemade ramen noodles are my first choice for this – you can find my recipe here:Make your own ramen noodles – traditional recipe with kansui

Alternatively, you can of course buy the best Japanese ramen noodles and cook a delicious bowl of ramen soup at home in no time at all. Dried ramen noodles are also ideal for an authentic Japanese ramen soup because they are ready in a matter of moments and, of course, have a very long shelf life . I prefer to use these dried ramen noodles. Their texture is comparable to homemade ramen noodles and the flavour is simply unbeatable :
