Motivation

I am a person who is sensitive to elevated levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG), especially if they're added via pure MSG powder or yeast extracts. Furthermore, I wanted to make powders I can use both like vegetarian stock powders and for instant ramen that are safe for me, quick to make and don't have any added aroma.

Workshop

In this workshop, I am going to show you how to make stock and 'instant' ramen powders yourself and cook some "instant" ramen. I am putting instant in quotes because we're not making the pasta, we're using store-bought mie or ramen noodles that need to cook for just a few minutes.

Workshop layout:

0. Setup, make everyone have a container, each spice have a spoon and everyone have their own mixing spoon

1. Discuss motivation, dietary requirements and goal of each participant

2. Base flavors (onion, garlic, paprica, curry, tomato powder)

3. Umami/natural MSG components (tomato powder, mushroom powders)

4. The salt component (salt, sugar)

5. Make it your own (add other spices), taste it, with hot water

6. Oil component (not included in the spice mix) [sesame oil, hard cheeses, peanut butter]

7. Ideas to to make a quick meal with: mushrooms, eggs, beans

8. Make an "instant ramen" dish [this may take a while, participants may need to wait for the burner to free up]
