Organic Millet & Brown Rice Ramen (4 Ramen Cakes)

1

Preheat oven to 400°F.
2

Trim stems off mushrooms. Submerge in water with 5 tsp dissolved table salt. Allow to brine for 10 mins. Drain, then pat dry and spread on a baking sheet. Toss in 1 tsp sesame oil and roast for 30 mins, flip, and roast for 10 more mins.
3

Meanwhile, wide spiralize (or thinly slice) sweet potato. Sprinkle with 1 tsp table salt. Allow to rest for 15 mins (the potato should shed moisture). Pat dry, then spread on a baking sheet and toss in 1 tsp sesame oil. Roast for 10 mins, then flip and roast for another 8-10 mins. Be careful not to burn. The thinner the potatoes, the quicker they cook; aim for a crispy, almost potato-chip texture.
4

Heat a cast iron skillet until very hot. Thinly spread frozen corn in the skillet. Do not stir – allow to char briefly (~1-2 mins). Set aside.
5

Slice tomatoes in half. Defrost edamame.
6

Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large stock pot, then add ginger, garlic, and white ends of scallions. Cook briefly, being careful not to burn (~1-2 mins). Add broth, water, and tamari. Simmer for 10 mins.
7

While broth is simmering, cook noodles according to directions on package.
8

Remove 1 cup of the hot broth and allow to cool slightly. In a small bowl, combine the slightly cooled broth and miso paste. Stir to make a slurry. Turn off heat to the pot of broth and add the slurry. Stir to combine.
9

To serve, add a serving of noodles and a handful of baby spinach to each bowl, ladle in the broth (~2-3 ladles per person), then add mushrooms, tomatoes, corn, and edamame. Add sweet potato chips last - they won’t stay crispy for long, but the flavor is amazing. Garnish with scallion greens and togarashi seasoning.
