Cook's Notes

If you prefer a lot of broth, use 3 containers of Vegetable Stock for 12 cups. For the broth, you may use your favorite kind of dried and fresh mushrooms. We used Dried Shiitake mushrooms and Fresh Portabella Mushrooms. Other options include Dried Oyster, Dried Wild Morel, Dried Wood Ear, Fresh Shiitake, Fresh Oyster, and Fresh White. For the broth, you can use red, yellow, or white onion. For the noodles, you can choose from a variety. We used a large pack of Chinese Noodles however you can also choose to purchase 2-3 packs of Rice Ramen, or 6 packs of Ramen Soup and remove the spice packet. For the Ramen toppings, we used Fresh Stir Fry Mushrooms for variety but you can use any fresh mushroom of your choice. Customize your Ramen bowls with your favorite flavor combinations. If you prefer vegetables to be cooked instead of raw, you can add to the broth. A little crunch and a little extra spice and flavor on top of the Ramen bowl is always delicious. If you prefer added protein, you can include sauteed Tofu or cooked Chicken Breast.
