- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
- 2–3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
- 4–5 cups low-salt vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha or 1 tablespoon gochujang
- 2–3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 125 g uncooked ramen noodles (4.5 oz)
- 1 bok choy, sliced in half
Topping Ideas:
- Chopped green onions
- Chili garlic sauce
- Cooked and shelled edamame
- Shredded nori sheets
- Sesame seeds
- Crispy tofu/tempeh
Instructions:
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add tomato paste and mushrooms: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Add the shredded oyster mushrooms, then mix in the Sriracha and soy sauce. Let it cook for 30 seconds to meld the flavors together.
- Add broth and noodles: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, and add the ramen noodles and bok choy. Cover the pot and simmer for about 7 minutes (or according to the package instructions for the noodles).
- Prepare toppings: While the ramen simmers, prepare your chosen toppings.
- Taste and adjust seasoning: After the noodles have cooked, taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more Sriracha for extra spice or soy sauce for saltiness. You can also adjust the broth consistency by adding more broth if desired.
- Serve and garnish: Distribute the ramen, bok choy, mushrooms, and broth into bowls. Drizzle with chili oil, and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as sesame seeds, edamame, or crispy tofu.
- Enjoy: Savor your comforting bowl of spicy vegan ramen!
