Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

4 cups vegetable broth
2 cups mixed mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, enoki)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon miso paste (optional)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, minced
2 servings ramen noodles
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and miso paste if using, allowing it to dissolve into the mushrooms.
Make the Soup: Add the vegetable broth to the mushrooms and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cook the Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the noodles between two bowls. Pour the hot broth and mushroom mixture over the noodles.
Add Toppings: Top with a boiled egg, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil for extra flavor.
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and satisfying Mushroom Ramen Bowl.

Notes

For a creamier texture, you can blend a portion of the broth with a splash of coconut milk before adding it to the soup. If you want a more hearty meal, add tofu, grilled chicken, or shrimp as a topping.

Ingredients Notes:

Ramen Noodles: Opt for fresh ramen noodles for the best texture. If using instant noodles, discard the seasoning packet.
Mushrooms: Shiitake and cremini mushrooms offer a rich, meaty texture. Feel free to mix in other mushrooms such as oyster or portobello for added depth.
Broth: For the deepest flavor, consider using a homemade vegetable broth or a high-quality store-bought one. Miso paste, soy sauce, or even a bit of tamari can be added for depth.
Ginger & Garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic are key to the fragrance and depth of the broth.
Toppings: Boiled eggs, sesame seeds, green onions, or even a dash of chili oil can elevate your ramen bowl.

Variations and Substitutions:

Broth: Use chicken or beef broth instead of vegetable for a different flavor.
Mushrooms: Experiment with different types, like oyster or portobello, for unique tastes.
Noodles: Swap out ramen noodles for udon, soba, or rice noodles if you prefer.
Spicy: Add a bit of Sriracha, chili paste, or fresh sliced chili peppers for an extra kick.
Protein: Add tofu for a plant-based protein, or grilled chicken or shrimp for a non-vegetarian version.

Storage Options:

Leftovers: Store any leftover broth and noodles separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the broth gently on the stovetop, and cook fresh noodles when serving.
Freezing: The broth can be frozen for up to 1 month. However, it’s best to freeze the broth separately and cook fresh noodles when you’re ready to serve.
