Ingredients
  

  • 15 g (0.5 oz) dried mushrooms (e.g. black trumpet mushrooms, funnel chanterelles, morels)
  • 2 tbsp rapeseed or sunflower oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 200 g (7 oz) button mushrooms, halved and sliced
  • 1.5 litres (6⅓ cups) chicken stock, or vegetables stock
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp chilli sauce
  • 1 tbsp miso paste
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) enoki, wild or cultivated
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) fresh wood ear mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) pak choi, finely chopped
  • 300 g (10.5 oz) ramen noodles
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Topping

  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 4 eggs, soft-boiled

Instructions

  • Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl with 3 dl (1¼ cups) of cold water. Depending on the type of mushrooms, leave for 10-30 minutes. Turn them a few times so that they absorb enough water. Once fully soaked, gently squeeze the water out of the mushrooms and chop them. Save the mushroom broth for later use.
  • Chop all the vegetables and prepare all the mushrooms.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add garlic, ginger, button mushrooms, and the rehydrated mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the chicken stock, soy sauce, miso paste, and the remaining mushroom broth (about 2 dl / ⅘ cup) into the saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add the enoki and wood ear and simmer for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the pak choi and simmer for a further 1 minute.
  • Cook the ramen noodles according to the packet instructions and mix them into the soup.
  • Taste with rice vinegar, soy sauce, and freshly ground pepper.
  • Serve in soup plates with soft-boiled eggs and spring onions.
