Brothy Noodle Bowl With Mushrooms And Chiles Recipes

BROTHY NOODLE BOWL WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHILES

Steps:

• For the dashi:
• Bring mushrooms, ginger, chile, garlic, kombu, turmeric, and 4 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to very low, and gently simmer 25 minutes to allow aromatics to infuse and flavor the water. Strain dashi through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. Wipe out saucepan and pour dashi back in. Return to a simmer.
• Mix miso and 1 Tbsp. dashi in a small bowl, then stir into dashi in pan along with soy sauce; season with salt. Keep dashi hot if using right away.
• Do Ahead: Dashi can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool, then transfer to an airtight container and chill.
• For the noodles and assembly:
• Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, finely grate garlic over mushrooms, and mix well (garlic will cook in residual heat of mushrooms). Season with salt.
• Drop noodles into very hot dashi. Cover pan and let sit 3 minutes.
• Divide noodles and dashi among bowls. Top with mushrooms, radishes, herbs, fermented vegetables, and sesame seeds; drizzle with hot sauce and sesame oil.
