COURSE OVERVIEW
Learn the unique recipe with clear soup broth and glistening veggie-jang*.
You might say making ramen seems complicated, particularly an authentic and vegan ramen...
You may be able to watch basic ramen recipes being made on Youtube or through recipe books, but wouldn’t you like to immerse yourself in a deeper experience?
We’ve invited the CEO of one of the top ramen restaurants in the world to teach you a unique ramen developed for this course.
This course teaches you the recipe "Veggie-Jang Ramen" featuring the seasoning "Matcha Pepper" which alters the entire taste. The topping veggie-jang goes well with ramen and dishes like pasta or rice. Matcha pepper is a spicy topping that is perfect not only for ramen but also for Japanese-style pasta and udon soup dishes.
This course teaches you how to create a bowl of beautiful and delicious ramen like a professional. You don’t need to prepare advanced skills or special equipments. All you need is you and your passion to learn how to make ramen by yourself.
*Jang is a paste-like sauce used traditionally in Chinese cuisine.

THINGS TO MAKE
VEGGIE-JANG
Sauce determines the taste as a key component of ramen. Regular ramen consists of soup broth, sauce, and noodles, and the ingredients are added to complete the ramen, but the unique part of this ramen is the veggie-jang.
MATCHA PEPPER
The flavors of the ramen can be changed while eating it by adding seasoning agents, flavor oils, spices, etc.
Today we will introduce matcha pepper, which is flavorful and uses plenty of matcha powder, for enjoying different flavor.
