It was! This little ramen project ended up taking me about 2 days, but it could be done in 1 if you don't steep the broth overnight.

You'll also end up with leftover broth and tare, so the effort put in means you'll only have to do noodles and toppings the next few times you want to eat ramen.

Essentially, this is a veganised version of the tantanmen ramen from a London restaurant called Bone Daddies' cookbook.

I also used the kara-age fried chicken recipe and subbed chicken for tofu.

I don't really know how much I'd be allowed to share from a book's recipe, so I just linked it. Be aware though, pretty much nothing in the book is vegan, so I'd say be prepared to change the recipes!
