  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
  2. Pour in vegetable broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer to create the flavorful broth.
  3. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms to the broth and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  5. Incorporate spinach or bok choy into the broth and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  6. Divide cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle hot broth and vegetables over the noodles.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and optional toppings like chili, nori, sesame seeds, or tofu cubes. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure noodles are cooked al dente to prevent over-softening.
  • You can customize toppings with tofu, tempeh, or extra vegetables.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge. Reheat gently on stovetop.
