Easy Vegan Ramen

Serves: 4

Broth

1 tbsp sesame oil (DO NOT use 2 tbsp)
1/4 cup garlic, chopped
1/4 cup ginger, peeled and chopped
1 cup onion, chopped

Heat oil in a pan, add onion, garlic, ginger and sauté for 5 minutes in medium flame.

9 cups water
3 tbsp tamari

Add water, tamari and stir. Bring to boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low for at least 1 hour, up to 2 to 3, stirring occasionally. The longer it cooks, the more the flavor will deepen and develop.
