UMAM I STOCK recipe on page 83

➤ This stock base is indispensable for ramen and much lower in salt than the packaged sauces that often come with ramen noodles. ➤ It will keep fresh for a week and frozen for a year. ➤ Use for exceptional sauces for meat and chicken, or make soup with it. ➤ It is so full of nutrients that it probably will cure a cold. RAMEN SOUP Buy ramen noodles and boil separately. Look for them frozen in Asian stores or use the noodles from an instant noodle package and discard the sauce. Add shiitake mushrooms, green onions, baby bok choy or anything else you like to the broth. Cook for a few minutes, then add the noodles. Finish with a soft-boiled egg. Garnish with pieces of nori partially immersed in the soup. See p. 83 for “What to Serve.”
