  1. SPICY OIL & SEEDS

    Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until they pop, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. Return the pan to medium-high heat with 30ml of oil. Once hot, remove from the heat and pour into a bowl with ½ the gochujang. Gently mix until the oil starts to turn a bright red colour. Strain just before serving.

  2. MUSHIES

    Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 400ml of boiling water. Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the trimmed mushrooms until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot, place into a bowl, and season.

  3. THAT’S SO RAMEN

    Finely slice the pak choi stems and set aside. Slice the leafy parts in half lengthways, keeping them separate from the stems. Return the pot to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, fry the pak choi stems until al dente, 2-3 minutes. Add the ginger slices, the spring onion whites, and ½ the fried mushrooms. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the tomato paste and the remaining gochujang (to taste), and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the diluted stock, reduce the heat, and simmer, 5-7 minutes.

  4. OPTIONAL BOILED EGG

    Bring a pot of water to the boil for the egg (optional). When the water is boiling, cook the egg for 6-8 minutes for medium, 6 minutes for medium-soft, and 8-10 minutes for medium-hard. Drain and submerge in cold water. Peel, slice in half before serving, and season.

  5. BROTH

    If the broth is too thick, add water in small increments until the desired consistency. Remove the ginger slices. Stir in the soy sauce, the pak choi leaves, the edamame beans, and a sweetener (to taste). Add the udon noodles and cook until al dente, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  6. WOW!

    Bowl up a helping of the ramen and drizzle over the gochujang oil. Top with the remaining mushrooms, the boiled egg (if using), and the julienne carrot. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and the spring onion greens. Simply stunning, Chef!
