Heat 2-3 tbsp oil in a stock pot until hot.

Add 4 diced onions, 2 carrots, 2 stalks of celery, 4 inch sliced ginger, and 6-8 cloves of garlic to the pot. Stir well and cook on high flame until lightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Add 100 grams button mushrooms and 1 diced apple, along with 6 dried shiitake mushrooms. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Pour in 4 litres of water and add 1 tsp freshly crushed black pepper. Bring to a boil on high flame.

Once boiling, reduce to medium-low flame and simmer for 1-1.5 hours, skimming off any scum that forms.

Prepare the chilli oil by mixing 1/2 cup chilli flakes, 2 tsp soy sauce, and 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar in a heatproof bowl. Set aside.

In a separate pan, heat 1.5 cups of oil gently. Add 3 star anise, 2 inch cinnamon, 3 tbsp finely chopped onions or shallots, and 2 tbsp chopped garlic. Cook until light golden brown.

Pour the hot oil over the chilli flake mixture and remove the whole spices with tweezers. Allow the chilli oil to cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container.

Stir fry 200 grams of tofu cubes in a wok with 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, salt, a pinch of black pepper, a pinch of red chilli flakes, and 1 tsp light soy sauce on high flame for 2-3 minutes until crispy.

Lightly cook bok choy in a heated wok with 1 tbsp oil for 1-1.5 minutes until charred on both sides. Season with salt and black pepper.

Once the broth has simmered, strain it using a sieve and press gently to extract juices without mashing the vegetables. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions. The creator mentions using vegan ramen noodles or instant noodles without the seasoning packet as a cost-effective option.
