Japanese soy milk ramen for vegetarian

I love ramen and I miss ramen, no Japanese restaurant makes ramen, they all make sushi :( I found one nice in Paris but now I no longer live there, too sad :(

So good that I found this recipe from a Japanese cook, she made the soy milk soup base, which is different from the popular one made by pork bone, but you can find soy milk soup base in Kyoto.
Now those who are vegetarian can enjoy Japanese soy milk ramen!

Ingredients (for 2 person)

Vegetarian dashi:
1 1/2 cup water
1 piece Kombu (about 5cm X 10cm)
2 dried shiitake mushroom

7g dried bonito flakes
1 cup water

2. Prepare soup
- Grind the sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle until they are crushed, set aside
- Press garlic & mince ginger, cut them fine
- Separate scallion into 2 parts - white & green, then chop the white & green part finely respectively and put them into 2 bowls

3. In a non-stick small pot (I used Le Creuset 20cm), place sesame oil, garlic, ginger & white part of scallion. Stir & fry until the fragrance releases

4. Add in bean paste & miso, stir them regularly so that the bottom will not burn

5. Add in sake, stir well
Add in sesame seeds & soy sauce

6. Slowly pour soy milk and mix the ingredients and let them blend together
Add in vegetarian OR non-vegetarian dashi

7. Taste the soup & add salt & pepper according to your taste

8. Prepare ramen (no need to prepare in advance)
In another pot, fill enough water to cook ramen, bring it to boil
When it is boiled, add in ramen noodles, stir it so that it won't stick at the bottom

9. When the ramen is done, drain the water, transfer it to a serving bowl
Pour the soup into the bowl

10. Place the toppings that you like and serve hot

Enjoy!
