Author Notes

Finding a good bowl of gluten-free and/or vegan ramen can be near to impossible in restaurants.In my search for a better version, I kept the flavourings authentic, and I have managed to make the best vegan ramen dashi recipe. It's a rich and layered broth, totally addictive. —Happy as a Yam
