Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Start the tempeh
Bring a medium sauce pot of water to a boil for the ramen.
- Crumble or cut the tempeh into ¼-inch pieces.
In a large frying pan, combine the tempeh and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the tempeh, transfer to a plate, and pat dry with a paper towel. Wipe the pan dry. While the tempeh is cooking, boil the ramen.
2
Cook the ramen
To the pot of boiling water, stir in the ramen and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Wipe out the pot. While the ramen is cooking, prepare the soup ingredients.
3
Prep the soup ingredients; cook the soup
- Cut the mushrooms into quarters.
- Trim the root end from the bok choy; thinly slice the bok choy on the diagonal.
- Juice the lemon.
In the same pot used for the ramen, add the mushrooms, kombu, 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] tamari, and 2½ cups [4 cups] water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the mushrooms start to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the bok choy and cook until the vegetables are just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the kombu, and stir in 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and as much of the remaining tamari and lemon juice as you like. While the soup is cooking, prepare the mint and tempeh.
4
Prep the garnish; crisp the tempeh
- Strip the mint leaves from the stems; coarsely tear or chop the leaves, if desired.
In the same pan used to soften the tempeh, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the tempeh and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Serve
Transfer the ramen to individual bowls and ladle in the soup. Top with the tempeh, garnish with the shichimi togarashi and mint, and serve.
