Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms and Vegetables

  • 200g fresh shiitake, cremini, or button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 2–3 green onions, chopped

Aromatics & Spices

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1–2 tablespoons chili paste or Sriracha (adjust to taste)

Liquids & Sauces

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil, plus more for finishing

Noodles & Optional Toppings

  • 200g ramen noodles (use rice noodles for gluten-free option)
  • 1 soft-boiled egg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean and slice your chosen mushrooms. Heat a splash of sesame oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms until golden brown and their moisture has evaporated, enhancing their flavor.
  2. Create the Broth Base: In a pot, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili paste. Sauté gently until fragrant. Add vegetable broth and soy sauce, then bring to a simmer to meld the flavors beautifully.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse briefly with cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Add the sautéed mushrooms to the simmering broth. Place cooked noodles into serving bowls, then ladle the hot broth and mushrooms over the noodles to coat evenly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped green onions, a drizzle of sesame oil, and a soft-boiled egg if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for richer flavor and better texture compared to dried mushrooms.
  • Add chili paste gradually to control spice level and maintain broth balance.
  • Simmer the broth gently to keep it clear and preserve bright flavors.
  • Opt for fresh ramen noodles where possible for the best texture.
  • Add sesame oil at the end to maximize its nutty aroma without burning.
  • Store leftover broth and mushrooms separately from noodles to prevent sogginess.
  • Freeze broth only; avoid freezing cooked noodles to preserve texture.
