SPICY OIL & SEEDS
Place a pan over a medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Toast for 2-4 minutes until they begin to pop, shifting regularly, and set aside. Place the pan back on a 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 the oil just before serving.
MUSHIES
Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 400ml of boiling water. Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the shimeji mushrooms and fry for 3-4 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Season to taste and place in a bowl.
THAT’S SO RAMEN
Return the pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the ginger slices, the spring onion whites and ½ the fried mushrooms. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the tomato paste and the remaining Gochujang (to taste) and fry for about 1 minute, shifting constantly. Add the diluted stock. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 5-7 minutes until all the flavours have combined.
PAK CHOI
Separate the leaves of the trimmed pak choi and rinse well. Return the pan to a medium heat with a splash of water. When hot, add in the pak choi, cover with the lid, and steam for 3-5 minutes until wilted. Drain on paper towel and season.
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 and a sweetener of choice. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes or until al dente. Remove from the heat.
WOW!
Bowl up a helping of the ramen. Drizzle over the Gochujang oil and top with the pak choi, the remaining mushrooms, the boiled egg (if using) and the julienne carrot. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds, chopped coriander and spring onion greens. Simply stunning, Chef!
