Hello fellow steemians!
Steemit Culinary Challenge is back with our lovely host @woman-onthe-wing after short break! Yaaay!
And she's back with new great theme for SCC: A hearty dinner for ravenous rambler. I'm so, soo happy that my favourite contest is back and I'm able to cook something for it and share with you my recipes!

Since few days I've dreamed about Ramen. You know, delicious, japanese soup with noodles and veggies. The traditional one is made with fish meat and other stuff. First time I ate it when I was in the real Japanese restaurant long time ago, and I fell in love with it! So, I was thinking, that'll be great occasion to make it again, but in another version than the tradiciolan way. I made it in vegan version! 🤤 Moreover, I made it a little bit warm up with added chilli. Substitute for meat was marinated smoked tofu and with this same marinade I grilled oyster mushrooms. Whole soup was delicious, filling and warming up. Perfect soup after long hiking in mountains or even for cold days! 😁 I ate it day before yesterday, after nordic walking with my mommy. It was so cold outside and even in some places it was snowing! I don't know how it's in other countries, but in Poland we have snow already! 😲 And at night we had snow storm! But, I love this aura when it's snowing 😌 . Anyway, that soup gave me some energy and it was really hot after eating it! So if you have craving to eat it, check my recipe below! 🤗

Preparing

• first of all, we need to prepare our marinate for tofu and oyster mushrooms, so into bowl add five big tbsp of soy sauce and coconut oil, melt it
  
• add chilli, xylitol,lime juice and sesame, mix it together
  
  
• cut tofu in slices
  
• place tofu in other plate and add marinade into it
  
• cover the plate by foil and put into fridge at least for 2 hours (best over night!)
  
• time for our broth! Into big pot add water, next add veggies, chopped garlic in slices and apple, add spices and boil it about at least 1,5 hour (I cooked it 2.5 hours and it was very flavour) on small gass
  
• after that time remove veggies and apple (beside garlic) and add chopped in small pieces nori
  
• boil it under cover for an hour on small gass
  
• in mean time, take out tofu from fridge and place them on another plate
• in plate with marinade place washed oyster mushrooms
  
• turn on your grill (if you have on, or not you can grill ingredients on special pan) and start grilling tofu
  
  
• take out tofu and start grilling marinated mushrooms
  
• start to boil noodles in little pot (according to instructions on package)
  
• place noodles on strainer
  
• from your soup remove all bits of stuff and add soy sauce, a bit of lime juice and one tbsp of rafined coconut oil
  
  
• in bowl place ingredients like on photo below, and then add stock
  
• add cut in slices radish, chopped spring onion and sesame
  
  
  
  Damn! When I look at this I want to eat it again! That was so delicious dish, very warm up but of course you can do it in less hot version. It's perfect for tired and chilly person after long hiking and not only for this occasion! Me and my boyfriend, love asian food, so we had great dinner with ramen and some Anime series! If you didn't try it yet, I highly recommend to try it! You'll won't regret!
  I hope you enjoyed my recipe for this great soup!
  Have a nice day my friends! 💕 💕 💕
