Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 packs of ramen noodles
- 1 cup edamame, shelled
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: vegetable broth, ramen noodles, shelled edamame, spinach, green onions, soy sauce, and sesame seeds.
- In a large pot, pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Once the broth is boiling, add the 2 packs of ramen noodles. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to separate the noodles.
- While the noodles are cooking, prepare your vegetables. Rinse the spinach under cold water and drain well. Slice the green onions thinly, separating the green tops from the white bottoms.
- After the noodles have cooked for about 2 minutes, add the shelled edamame and the white parts of the green onions to the pot. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the edamame is heated through and the noodles are tender.
- Once the noodles and edamame are ready, stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the spinach. Cook for another minute until the spinach has wilted.
- Remove the pot from heat. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce if desired.
- To serve, ladle the ramen into bowls. Garnish each bowl with the green tops of the sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Enjoy your delicious Plant Based Ramen with Edamame hot!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prep your ingredients ahead of time. Shell the edamame and slice the green onions the night before to make cooking even quicker.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, bok choy, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time based on the veggies you choose.
- Broth Boost: Enhance the flavor of your vegetable broth by adding a splash of mirin or a dash of miso paste for a richer taste.
- Perfect Noodles: Be careful not to overcook the ramen noodles. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them (al dente) for the best texture.
- Garnish for Greatness: Don’t skip the sesame seeds and green onion garnish! They add a lovely crunch and freshness that elevate the dish.
- Make it Spicy: If you like a kick, add some chili oil or sliced jalapeños to your ramen for a spicy twist!
- Leftovers: This dish can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen it up. Enjoy crafting this delicious and satisfying meal that’s sure to become a favorite in your household!
