Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 tsp minced garlic
- 3 tsp minced ginger
- 3 cup water
- 4 cup veggie broth *
- 1½ cup sliced mushrooms any type
- 1 cup peeled carrots
- 1 cup halved zucchinis
- 2 cups chopped kale
- 2 packs raw ramen noodles
- 3 tbsp fish sauce use soy or aminos for vegetarian
- 2 tbsp sriracha use 3 tbsp for a spicier broth
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- 1 fresh lime sliced optional
- 1 thinly sliced Jalapeño optional
For toasted bread crumbs
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup panko or bread crumbs
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Using a large 5 quart pot, on medium heat add the sesame oil to the pot. Skin the ginger with a potato peeler before mincing it. Add in chopped garlic and ginger to the pot and saute for about 2 minutes. Next add in mushrooms and carrots. Be sure to skin the carrots first, use a potato peeler to shave them for the ramen. Saute for about 5 minutes more.
- Add in the broth, water, fish sauce or soy sauce, sriracha and any added salt needed. Chop zucchini into thin half moon shapes. Add in the Zucchini, kale last. Bring to a simmer, about 10 minutes. Once it is simmering, add in raw ramen noodles and cover.
- Simmer the mixture for about 10 more minutes to combine flavors and soften ramen. While it is simmering, add sesame oil to a pan and on medium high heat, add in the panko or breadcrumbs. Stir often to brown all the sides.
- Toast the crumbs until golden brown, set aside. Once ramen noodles are fully cooked, softened, taste the broth to see if you'd like more sriracha. If the flavor is good for you, turn off heat and serve. Top with bread crumbs, chopped green onions, cilantro, optional lime wedges/juice, chili sauce and soft boiled eggs. You may also add in other protein options like tofu, chicken or beef.
Notes
*if you're not vegetarian use chicken or beef broth for more flavor
*If you let the ramen sit overnight it will get a bit spicier in flavor so keep this in mind!
