Mushroom stroganoff ramen

It’s a delicious mash-up of two beloved dishes – Japanese ramen and Russian stroganoff – in this vegan recipe from Masterchef favourite Omar Foster. Replacing cream with coconut milk gives a lighter, more aromatic flavour to the noodle broth, with depth from Marmite, mustard and soy.

For many, cooking is all about experimenting in the kitchen, and few do it better than Omar Foster. This recipe show just how exciting food can be when you respectfully mix two cuisines into one; try his baked apple pie spring rolls or French onion pancakes next.

After finishing as runner-up on MasterChef 2023, where he wowed all the judges with his innovative flavour combinations, Omar now works as a recipe developer, consultant and stylist through his agency, Whipped Cream. “If it makes you raise an eyebrow when you read the recipe, but puts a smile on your face when you eat it, my work is done,” says Omar.
