Method
Place the dried shiitake mushrooms, garlic and ginger in a large saucepan with the kombu dashi and bring to a simmer.
Simmer gently, uncovered, for 20 minutes until the broth is deeply fragrant, then lift out the shiitake, slice thinly and set aside.
Stir the soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar into the broth to season.
Meanwhile, pan-fry the king oyster mushroom medallions in a splash of oil for 6 minutes, turning once, until deeply golden.
Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water according to the packet instructions, then drain well.
Divide the noodles between bowls, ladle over the hot broth, and top each with the seared mushrooms, sliced shiitake, beansprouts and spring onion.
