Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cleaning and slicing your mushrooms. Mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions. Set everything aside for easy access.
- Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add your ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions. Once done, drain and rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet or pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the Mushrooms: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they’re soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- Make the Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the coconut milk to the pan with mushrooms. Stir well and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Season the Broth: Add soy sauce or tamari, and adjust the seasoning to taste. If you want a bit of spice, you can include sriracha or red pepper flakes at this stage.
- Incorporate the Greens: Add the spinach or bok choy to the broth and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
- Combine with Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the broth, stirring gently to combine everything. Heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Ladle the creamy ramen into bowls, garnishing with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. You can also drizzle a little sesame oil for extra flavor.
