Basic Ramen Broth # 2

"I'm a great fan of Ramen and not just for a quick lunch either. I make it into soups, stews, casseroles and a dozen other groups of dishes. As a side dish to a stir fry it's hard to beat. The bad part of Ramen is the 'flavor pack'. They're 92% to 96% sodium, depending on the particular 'flavor'. Here is yet another alternative that's a lot lower in sodium and much better tasting. It's from 'The Book of Ramen' by Ron Konzak. (Does giving the author a plug make the recipe any less stolen?)"

directions

  • Powder the Shittake mushroon in a blender.
  • Mix well the first 6 ingredients.
  • Put the broth mix and 1 piece of Kombu (dried kelp) into the recipe when the 'flavor pack' is called for.(I couldn't get the automatic computer editor at Recipezaar to accept the word, Kombu, in the ingredients column.).
  • Vital, remove the Kombu as soon as the broth starts to boil or it will get strong and bitter.
  • If you're using Miso, add it just before serving. Mix well.
  • DO NOT boil Miso, that kills it's vital enzymes.
  • If you're using Korean Black Bean Paste, add it with the broth mix. Mix well.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 73 year old male. I live in the desert in Southeast Wasington. Yes, Virginia, Southeast Washington is Desert, Cacti, Sage Brush, Wile E. Coyote, the whole nine yards.The Columbia River flows through the middle of it and is its saving grace. Some of the jobs. I've held are Well Driller, Aircraft Machanic, Handyman, Electrician,Merchant Seaman, And most recently Long haul Driver.My hobbies are cooking, Kite making, and Good movies (plus anything that strikes my fancy) My first cookbook was Fanny Farmer Original Boston Cooking School Cookbook and its still the first of all of my cookbooks that I go to. It has the best Biscuit recipe going and the only change I make to its Cornbread recipe is to add a half teaspoon of Cayenne to bring out the flavor of the cornmeal. I injured my knee and have had the last year off and what I've done is go quietly mad. I'm now semi retired and try to figure out plan 'E'. A, B, C, and D phased out so it's time to move on, where, the hell ever, that is.
