Smokey Mushroom Ramen

Ramen has definitely become one of my new favorite meals to cook. This dish is super easy and takes minimal effort while still bursting with rich umami flavors. While this recipe is pretty straightforward, there’s still room for creativity - especially when it comes to the toppings.

Ingredients

• 5 cups low sodium veggie broth

• 2 squares of ramen

• 8 oz sliced bella or shiitake mushrooms

• 2 cloves minced garlic

• 1 inch knob of grated ginger

• 1 tbs miso (I used red but any will do!)

• 1 tbs tamari or coconut aminos

• 1 tsp Trader Joe’s Vegan Chickenless seasoning

• 1 tsp Trader Joe’s Umami Mushroom Seasoning

• 1 tsp spicy chili oil (optional)

• 2 eggs (do not add to make this vegan)

• 2-4 drops of liquid smoke per serving

• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

• Sesame seeds

• Ramen Egg (for topping)

Method

1. Sauté your sliced mushrooms on medium-high heat in olive oil until browned in a medium-large sauce pan

2. Lower the heat add in your minced garlic, ginger, and miso - it’s important to add the miso after the heat has lowered so that you don’t cook off all of the nutrients

3. Add in veggie broth, both Trader Joe’s seasonings, tamari or coconut aminos, and chili oil

4. Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium-high

5. Add in your ramen directly into the broth and cook as directed on package (about 4 minutes)

6. Once the noodles are cooked, remove from heat and pour into bowls

7. Stir in the liquid smoke and top with egg, scallion, and sesame seeds
