Tonight's meal was a Japanese-style dish of Black Garlic-Shoyu Ramen noodles with Green Beans and Shiitake Mushrooms. It was a vegetarian meal with black garlic. I had never heard of black garlic before. It is garlic that is aged under special conditions and when peeled, it is very soft. I was afraid at first that it might have been spoiled.
The black garlic, however, had an interesting flavor. It was cooked into the broth which contained ginger and shiitake mushrooms. The broth was served over the ramen noodles, then the dish was topped with blanched green beans and soft-boiled eggs. As a garnish, Furikake, a Japanese condiment made of crushed, dried seaweed and sesame seeds, and kosher sea salt.
My husband really enjoyed this dish. I found it so-so.
