This is one of my favorite solo suppers.
The flavor from the dried shiitake mushroom is so beautiful that any light broth is a good choice.
When Im ramen-ready, I want no one or nothing to hold me up.
Ramen
Serves 1
Ingredients
Preparation
1.
Put the dried shiitake in a saucepan that has a tight-fitting lid.
Meanwhile, put a saucepan of water on for the noodles; these take hardly any time.
Quarter the radishes lengthwise.
Let it come back to a boil, then add the bok choy leaves and turn off the heat.
Put the drained noodles into a bowl and pour the broth and vegetables over them.
Cut the egg in half lengthwise, then add both halves to the soup.
(And yes, I know the bowl you see here only has one half.)
Sprinkle the sliced scallion and crushed red pepper flakes over the top, and eat yourself into Zen bliss.
