I LOVE ramen! I’m not talking about the sodium filled kind you eat in college because it’s 99 cents. I’m talking about the real stuff! And I have been craving it something fierce lately. So, I played with some ingredients and found brown rice ramen noodles at Costco to help cut carbs. I came up with this incredibly tasty and healthy Coconut Miso Ramen! It’s seriously so good!
This dish is so comforting and perfect for winter! James and I don’t always agree on food (especially dishes that don’t have meat) but we both agree this Coconut Miso Ramen is the best!
It’s hearty and packed with flavor. The shitake mushrooms are so meaty that you totally don’t need meat in this dish. However, you could totally add some and it would be just as good. I saute the mushrooms and tofu first and just add to the top of the soup before serving. It’s nice to have both of those done and prepped before you begin working on the delicious broth.
The coconut and harissa infused broth is so good – I could literally just drink the broth. It’s just so flavorful! I also used my new favorite Trader Joe’s item in this ramen – sriracha tofu. You have to try it! Simply pan fry the tofu and add it to the soup once it’s finished. So yum!
I bought most of the ingredients for this soup at Trader Joe’s – aside from the Brown Rice Ramen (from Costco). The frozen garlic and ginger cubes that I keep on hand went perfectly in this Ramen. The recipe below calls for mushrooms, green onion, and red cabbage as toppings. However, you can use a variety of different toppings. Hard boiled eggs would be good in this, too!
12ozshitake mushrooms sauteed in 1 tbsp of sesame oil
2tbspred cabbage
1packagetofupan seared in 1 tbsp sesame oil
4cupsramen noodles
1Bok Choy, roughly chopped
Instructions
In a large soup man over medium heat add the sesame oil. Once the oil is hot add the garlic and ginger and cook for one minute. Add all of the other broth ingredients to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let everything simmer for 10 minutes. Add the ramen noodles and bok choy to the soup mixture and cook for another 5 minutes. If you’re using the rice ramen, it doesn’t take long for them to cook. Try not to overcook them. If you’re using regular ramen, it will take a little longer. Once the noddles are done, divide the broth and noodles among 5 bowls. Top each bowl with the sauteed mushrooms and tofu. Also add the cabbage and green onion to the top of each bowl. Enjoy!
