Today's #ramen experiment 🍜 trying to apply what I learned about balancing the amino acids which coalesce to synergistically create an umami flavor on the human flavor palate.

I added 1 Tbsp of miso paste and braised the mushrooms for a bit before adding the broth. Overall not bad, good enough without adding any salt or soy sauce. That seems to be the most challenging part of figuring this out - how to make a nicely balanced bowl and not overwhelmingly salty.
