Large Carrots

Celery Stalks

Dried Shiitake Mushrooms

Dried Porcini Mushrooms

Yellow Onion

Nutrional Yeast

1) Finely cut your onion, carrots, celery stalks, and leek using a mandolin. 

2) Combine cut onion, carrots, celery stalks, and leek with the kombu, porcini and shiitake mushrooms on a baking pan. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil and then sprinkle the nutritional yeast on top. Using your hands, mix everything together to coat the ingredients in the oil and nutritional yeast. Once mixed, transfer baking pan to oven and roast the vegetables at 250 F, checking after 1 hour. You want them to brown and shrivel considerably. 

3) Once your vegetables have roasted, remove from oven and transfer to a small bowl or pot of cool water (make sure the vegetables are fully submerged in water) and place in the refrigerator and let the roasted vegetables steep in the water overnight (note that this will be not be the final amount of water needed for your soup, but will help amplify the flavor significantly). 

4) The next day, transfer the contents of your bowl/pot to a larger stock pot. Add the chopped apple, potato, garbanzo beans & aquafaba, black peppercorns, and thyme then bring the water to bare simmer (195 F is ideal) for 50-60 minutes. Remove the kombu as the temperature hits 140 F. Skim any scum that accumulates to the surface as the soup simmers. 

5) Strain using a fine mesh strainer & cheesecloth. 

The final soup should have a deep amber color, with the starches from the apple, potato, beans & aquafaba providing a silkier mouthfeel (if you're looking to push that particular aspect further, a small amount of agar agar will help with that as well, but it depends on the amount of water used in your stock pot).

Yasai Chintan (Vegan)

00 flour

Red fife no.60

Tapioca starch

Egg white powder

Salt

Kansui Powder Type 2

Water

Riboflavin

00 Flour

Red Fife No.60

Egg White Powder

1) Combine 00 flour, Red Fife, Tapioca, and egg white powder in a mixing bowl. Whisk them together.

2) Combine kansui powder, salt, riboflavin, and water in a separate bowl or cup. Mix together well so the salt & powders dissolve fully into the water.

3) Slowly drizzle in your kansui water a couple tablespoons at a time, thoroughly whisking the water into the flours between each pour. Repeat this until all your water has been mixed into the flour to form a loose, finely clumped dough.

4) Transfer dough to a sealable plastic bag and let the dough hydrate & rest for 30 minutes.

5) Place the plastic bag with the dough into a larger paper bag, and use your feet to roughly knead and flatten the dough. You can then use a roller to further smooth the dough. Then let it rest again for 30 minutes.

6) Knead and laminate your dough using an electric pasta roller by going through the widest setting, then the 2nd widest setting, then third. Once you've gone through the 3rd widest setting, fold your dough in half on itself and repeat the kneading & laminating process an additional two times. 

7) You should have a dough sheet that has visible long lines of gluten strands, but is flat and smooth to the touch. Dust both sides of the sheet lightly with cornstarch to prevent sticking. 

8) Change the pasta roller attachment on your machine to the noodle cutter attachment. Cut your dough sheet using the thinnest cutter you have. Lightly dust the cut noodles again with cornstarch, then fold and press the noodles with your hands to temomi them to create a wavy, uneven texture. 

9) Rest your noodles at room temp for 24 hours, then transfer to the refrigerator to rest for a further 2-3 days. Cook time will be 50-60 seconds. 

This recipe uses a local flour grown in the DMV area. I've been refining the recipe over many iterations, but the addition of the 00 flour provides a softer chew.

DMV #18

Mirin

Soy Sauce

Brown sugar

Toasted sesame oil

 1) Wash, peel, and cut carrots into 1/2" thick sticks. Trim any ends that get thinner than that.

2) Preheat oven to 325 F. Coat the carrots in olive oil and plan on a baking pan with parchment paper underneath. Roast the carrots in the oven for 35-45 minutes. Check the carrots - they should become soft but with a bit of crunchy chew in the center. They shouldn't be left in the over for so long that they begin to shrink & brown heavily. 

3) As the carrots are nearing the end of their time in the oven, combine mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar in a shallow pan. Bring to a low simmer.

4) Add roasted carrots to the pan and let them simmer in the mixture for 2-3 minutes.

5) Transfer carrots & mixture to a heat safe container. Place container in the fridge and eat within 2 days.

Easy substitute for menma if you don't have any handy.

3) Add sea salt, white wine vinegar, mirin, rice vinegar, and shiro shoyu. Stir to dissolve the salt over low heat. Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a container and place in fridge.
