I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018…
One of the most underrated ingredients are mushrooms. They can turn what might sound like a bland vegan meal into an umami-laden sensation. That’s what happens to these complex vegan ramen broths at Ramen Ishida in the Lower East Side. The little café also serves chicken and pork ramens, but the vegan option might even be more flavorful – loaded with kombu, shiitakes and truffles. Price: $16
