Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

4 eggs
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons ginger paste
1 quart vegetable broth
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
5 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
4 cups bok choy, chopped
3 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
16 ounces fresh ramen noodles
4 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce, or to taste
¼ cup kimchi, or to taste
4 radishes, thinly sliced

Steps:

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 2 minutes. While eggs cook, prepare a bowl of ice water. When eggs are done cooking, transfer them from the saucepan to the ice bath, reserving cooking water in the saucepan. Soak until completely cooled, about 15 minutes. Gently peel eggs and set aside.
Heat sesame oil and olive oil together in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger paste and saute 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Add soy sauce and mirin.
Add mushrooms to the simmering broth and cook 5 minutes. Add bell peppers, bok choy, and green onions and cook 1 minute more.
While vegetables are cooking, reheat the water used for the eggs. Add ramen to the boiling water and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
Place a portion of cooked noodles in a bowl and top with broth, vegetables, and 1 egg. Garnish with kimchi, chile-garlic sauce, and radish. Repeat with remaining noodles, broth, vegetables, egg, and toppings.

Chinese Mandarin Cabbage Salad With Ramen Noodles (Vegetarian) image

Add in some cooked chicken breast strips also if desired to make this into a main meal.If you don't mind a sweeter dressing then use the amount stated, or reduce by a couple of tablespoons for a less sweeter tasrte, personally I prefer the the sweeter taste! You can use only one package or noodles if desired. Do not add in the dressing until ready to serve the salad!

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables: The more colorful your ramen, the more nutritious it will be. Try using a mix of leafy greens, root vegetables, and mushrooms.
Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender but still have a bit of a crunch.
Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your ramen, so make sure it's flavorful. You can use a store-bought broth or make your own using vegetables, herbs, and spices.
Add protein: Ramen is a great way to get a plant-based protein boost. Try adding tofu, tempeh, or edamame to your bowl.
Don't forget the toppings: Toppings are what really make ramen special. Try adding a variety of toppings, such as green onions, seaweed, sesame seeds, or a soft-boiled egg.
