Ingredients
- For the Broth:
- 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tablespoon miso paste (for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili paste
- For the Noodles:
- 2 packs (3 oz each) instant ramen noodles
- Toppings :
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake, button, or portobello)
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Nori sheets
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Broth: In a big pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until it smells really good. Pour in the veggie or chicken broth and 2 cups of water. Add soy sauce and miso paste. Stir until it's all mixed up. Let the mix simmer for about 10 minutes so it gets flavorful. If you like your soup spicy, add sriracha or chili paste now.
- Cook the Noodles: While that's cooking, bring another pot of water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles as per package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes). Drain and set aside. Or you can cook noodles directly in the broth during the last few minutes if you want them to soak up more flavor.
- Prepare Toppings: If you are using soft-boiled eggs, then bring a small pot of water to boil. Boil eggs for about 6 minutes. Then put them in icy water till cool enough to peel and cut in half.
- Slice mushrooms, shred carrots, and chop green onions. These make your ramen extra colorful.
- Assemble the Ramen: Put cooked noodles into two bowls. Pour hot broth over noodles, making sure some bits of garlic and ginger go in too. Add toppings like spinach leaves, mushrooms, shredded carrots, green onions, and eggs.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Add nori sheets, maybe some cilantro or parsley on top, and lime wedges if you like.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with extra soy sauce, sriracha, or lime juice on side. Enjoy your yummy bowl of homemade ramen.
Tips and Variations:
- Add Protein: Add tofu pieces, grilled chicken, or even shrimp. Just cook these separately first, then add before serving.
- Broth Customization: Change up flavors by adding rice, vinegar splash, fish sauce, or even peanut butter for creamy nutty broth.
- Veggie Options: Try Bok choy, bell peppers, zucchini, and snap peas too. Either sauté them first or let hot broth cook slightly for a crunchy bite.
- Spice Level: Add more chili oil, sriracha, and red pepper flakes or fresh jalapeño slices.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free rice or soba noodles instead. Replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Make It Vegan: Skip eggs and use plant-based proteins like tempeh/tofu instead! Vegan miso soy sauce boosts flavors without animal products.
