Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 200g ramen noodles (use egg-free variety for a vegetarian option)
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 small piece of ginger, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Begin by heating the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. This forms the base of your delightful broth.
- Add the miso paste and soy sauce, stirring until the miso paste is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
- While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Add the spinach leaves, bean sprouts, corn, and julienned carrots to the simmering broth, cooking until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant, about 5 minutes.
- Divide the cooked ramen noodles among four bowls and ladle the hot miso broth and vegetable mixture over the noodles.
- Garnish with fresh green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately.
Helpful Tips
If you’re new to miso paste, white miso is milder and slightly sweet, while red miso offers a more robust, saltier flavor. Feel free to choose according to your taste preference.
For a heartier meal, consider adding tofu or poached chicken (please ensure it’s halal) for additional protein.
Storage and Substitutions
This Miso Ramen with Vegetables is best enjoyed fresh. However, the broth and vegetables can be stored separately from the noodles in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Simply reheat and combine when ready to serve.
If you don’t have ramen noodles on hand, soba or udon noodles are excellent alternatives.
Pairing Suggestions
This vibrant bowl pairs wonderfully with simple accompaniments like cucumber salad or steamed edamame. A slightly sweetened iced green tea complements the savory flavors beautifully.
