Blend until smooth, then transfer the sauce to      a bowl for later use (depend on your taste, this sauce maybe use to cook      for 4-6 persons, left over sauce can be kept in fridge for 3 days and      freezer up to 4 weeks)

Other ingredients

  1. Tofu cut into 1' x 1' square pieces

  2. Wash bok choy. Bring a pot of      water to a boil, blanch the bok choy

  3. Soak dried shiitake      Mushrooms in hot water

  4. Thinly sliced ​​green onions

  5. Boil noodles according to      servings


Cooking

  1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over      medium heat, add tofu and fry until all sides turn golden brown.

  2. When the tofu are golden, add 1 tbsp of the prepared miso sauce and stir well      (adjust the heat to low, to avoid burning the sauce). When the sauce is      evenly coated the tofu and turn lighly brown, remove from heat and transfer to a plate

  3. Making ramen broth: Put 2 cup of vegetable broth, 3/4 cup of plant-based milk, 1 tbsp of miso sauce (the sauce can      be filtered through colander if you don't want the broth have any chunk from its blended ingredients), add      the shiitake mushroom and the mushroom soaking water (get the clear water on surface, remove the residue at the bottom).

Taste and adjust the saltiness      by adding salt or adding more prepared miso sauce.


Plating

  1. Add boiled noodles at bottom of bowl      (you can add a bit of tare-prepared miso sauce, but for me it's not      necessary because I prefer hot broth and not too salty since I have make      broth taste just right alredy)

  2. On top of ramen,      add topping of your choices: e.g: blanched bokchoy, sautéed tofu, chopped onions. Then, scoop a      full spoon of broth over the prepared bowl of noodles, add roasted sesame (nori), ramen eggs (skip for vegan      recipe)     or other ingredients you like
