Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 200g ramen noodles
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 cups of vegetable broth, 200g of ramen noodles, 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, 1 cup of coconut milk, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and green onions for garnish.
- In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Add the ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 4-5 minutes, until they are tender.
- Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the coconut milk and soy sauce. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the pot from heat and taste the broth. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce for saltiness if desired.
- To serve, ladle the creamy mushroom ramen into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions on top for a fresh finish.
- Enjoy your delicious Vegan Creamy Mushroom Ramen hot!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can slice your mushrooms and mince the garlic in advance. This way, when you’re ready to cook, everything is at your fingertips!
- Mushroom Variety: Experiment with different types of mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, or cremini for added depth of flavor and texture.
- Noodle Choice: While ramen noodles are traditional, feel free to substitute with your favorite noodle type, such as udon or rice noodles, for a gluten-free option.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra kick, consider adding a splash of chili oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes when serving.
- Garnish Wisely: Fresh herbs like cilantro or a squeeze of lime can elevate the dish, adding brightness to the creamy broth.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store the broth and noodles separately to maintain the best texture. Reheat gently when you're ready to enjoy again!
