Ingredients
Instructions
  • Grill ginger, shallot, cinamon stick, star anise, black cardamom and onion directly on an open flame until slightly char.
  • Smash ginger and shallot to release the fragrance.
  • Add all grill spices into a cloth bag.
  • Split the sugar cane into smaller stick.
  • Fill the stock pot with about 3 liters of water, add carrot and daikon which I had peel and cut into bit size piece. Add shiitake mushroom which I had soak in hot water for about 15 minutes. Add kelp and 2 tbsp of pickle salted radish, 1 tsp of seasalt, sugar cane and the spices bag and bring to a boil.
  • When it boil, lower the heat, remove the kelp and simmer the broth for about 1 hour. Occasionally skim off the foam. If you refer a dipper flavour broth I would recommend dissolving 1/2 tsp miso paste with half a cup of the broth and stir until dissolve and add back into the soup.
  • Soak brown rice noodle in cool water for about 2 minutes, cook the noodle following package instruction for about 4 - 5 minutes with a dash of vinegar then drain and mix with a little bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  • To assemble the dish, arrange the brown rice noodle into a bowl, ladle the hot soup with the vegetable and mushroom over. Add few slices of vegan ham on top, garnish with some fried shallot and sprinkle of spring onion.
