Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 4 teaspoons grated garlic
  • 4 cups broth (I used chicken, but vegetable would also work)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 packages instant ramen (noodles only!)
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions or chives
  • 2 cups chopped kale (or spinach)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (or another vegetable like bok choy)

Method
 

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the garlic and ginger; stir fry for 2 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
  2. Add the broth and the water. Bring to a simmer; add the mushrooms and simmer for 10 minutes or until the mushrooms have softened and the broth is flavorful.
  3. Add the instant noodles to the hot liquid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until the noodles have softened. Add the scallions and stir to combine.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in the kale and carrots. Season with chili oil, hot sauce, sesame oil, and/or soy sauce and salt to taste.

Notes

- For an extra savory broth, use a good quality chicken or vegetable stock.
- Don't overcook the noodles; they should be tender but still have a slight bite.
- Customize your ramen with your favorite toppings like a soft-boiled egg, nori, or corn.
