Soy Ramen Soup

I have a really hard time knowing exactly the amounts of things I put in when creating new dishes. I can give you estimates for what I used for this soup. I suggest taste tests while you create your soup. I made a lot of soup, so you might want to cut back on amounts for when making.

Ingredients:

• whole head of cabbage
• about 20 asparagus
• 2 heads of garlic
• 1 shallot
• 2 onions
• 5 green onion
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2-3 tbs. sake cooking wine
• 1/2 tsp. ginger powder
• 1 cup or more soy sauce
• 7 cups water (more or less)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• Asian ramen noodles or any other Asian noodles you find

Directions:

1. Chop up all the veggies and put into a big pot. On medium heat put a little vegetable oil and sprinkle some pepper over them and saute vegetables until onions become translucent.
2. In a separate pot boil water and cook noodles according to package directions. I used all the noodles that came in the package. Once done be sure to drain the noodles and set aside.
3. In the pot with the sauteed vegetables put in vegetable broth, cooking sake, ginger powder, soy sauce, and water. Be sure to taste the broth to see if it's to your liking.
4. Once the soup starts getting hot you can add the noodles and then serve.

Don't be afraid to experiment on putting different amounts of ingredients in. If you think it's not salty enough....then add more soy sauce.........if it's too strong .....then add more water....etc.
