Finally got around to making this last night. Bravo 🙂 I ended up rehydrating .5oz of dried shiitakes instead of fresh. I also doubled the amount of broth with great success. Lovely! Served with crispy tofu on the top and a little cilantro and scallions.

I love your dishes as well, perhaps these bowls are your China Town finds?
I wonder where I can purchase these Asian bowls on-line. Lovely recipes! Thank you!

I did not have any maifun noodles, so I used Japanese Buckwheat Soba instead. Still came out delicious. I usually do not care for broth kind of soups etc. as they seem too bland, or like liquid salt. But I could not believe how pungent and flavorful this was with all the ingredients. The shiitake mushrooms and the awamori/sake (marin) really added to the flavor, I think. I added seared tofu on the side and also topped with scallions and cilantro. Absolutely delicious! Thank you as always~

In reply to Leila A. Fortier. I feel the same way about broths, Leila! I rarely order them out either, because you never know what's in them, so making your own is always best. I love your addition of cilantro and will have to add that in next time. : )

I made this with the easy sesame-glazed tofu as a side dish. Fantastic!! The noodles and broth were superb. The tofu was great as well. Highly recommend!

I found you on a google search and have signed up for your emails. I swear you are writing specifically for my husband and me. We tried this last night with the simple sesame tofu – DELICIOUS! The noodles ended up soaking up some of the broth, so we simply threw the tofu into the mix. We also added scallions to this. Otherwise followed it to a 'T' and it was wonderful. Thank you!I have a question – We try to cool mostly whole & vegan items, but sometimes we have cravings for old comfort food (who doesn't?). We've been able to replicate many old foods, but we have not matched the convenience and satisfying bowl of…Ramen noodles! I know we can make it with a variety of ingredients, but any idea for a super quick/already prepped fix? Maybe freezer ready?

In reply to Anonymous. Cool! Thanks for trying the recipe out and glad you enjoyed.

I haven't had ramen since college (15 years ago), but your question got me thinking about them! I am putting it on the "to do" list for a future post. If I can get something that fits this criteria, I'll put it on the blog! : D
