Noodles
- 200g ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
Broth
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon miso paste (optional)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Vegetables & Toppings
- 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- Optional toppings: nori sheets, sesame seeds, chili flakes
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and miso paste if using. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until tender but still chewy.
- Add Vegetables: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add sliced shiitake mushrooms, baby spinach, carrots, corn, and green onions to the pot. Let them soften slightly but retain their texture.
- Serve the Ramen: Divide the noodles, broth, and vegetables evenly between bowls. Garnish with optional toppings such as nori sheets, sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of chili flakes for added flavor and presentation.
