Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This is the ramen that ruins all other ramen. The broth is so deep, savory, and layered you’ll swear there’s pork bone in it — but it’s made from everyday mushrooms in only 25 minutes. The miso butter melts into the broth creating instant silkiness, the king oyster “scallops” are meaty and caramelized, the noodles are perfectly springy, and every topping adds texture and flavor explosion. It’s cozy yet light, vegan-adaptable, infinitely customizable, and universally adored — even by hardcore carnivores. Make it once and you’ll never order takeout ramen again.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

Use three kinds of mushrooms — dried shiitake + fresh cremini + enoki for maximum umami layers.
Soak dried shiitake in hot water 20 min — that liquid becomes half your broth.
Sear king oyster mushrooms hard — score them crosshatch for “scallop” look and flavor.
Bloom miso butter off heat — never boil miso or it loses flavor.
Use fresh ramen noodles (Sun Noodle, Hakubaku) — instant is acceptable only in emergencies.
Cook egg exactly 6:30 for perfect jammy yolk.
Warm bowls in 100 °C oven — cold bowl = cold ramen crime.
Taste broth aggressively — it should be slightly too salty alone (noodles balance it).
