Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet)
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, or white)
  • 1/2 cup spinach or bok choy (optional)
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Toppings (optional): cooked chicken, pork, tofu, or shrimp, chili flakes, or chili oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth:
    In a large pot, combine the chicken broth (or vegetable broth), soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Add vegetables and noodles:
    Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically for 2-3 minutes. If you’re using spinach or bok choy, add it during the last minute of cooking to wilt it.
  3. Assemble the soup:
    Once the noodles are cooked, ladle the soup into bowls. Add any proteins or additional toppings you like, such as a soft-boiled egg, cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp.
  4. Garnish and serve:
    Garnish the soup with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chili flakes or chili oil for added heat. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of fish sauce or miso paste to the broth.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add chili paste or sriracha to the broth before cooking.
  • Leftover ramen noodle soup can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, but be sure to store the broth and noodles separately to keep the noodles from becoming soggy.
