Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 4 stalks green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
• 1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
• 3 tablespoons miso paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
• 14 ounces ramen noodles (gluten-free if needed)
• 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 8 ounces firm tofu, cubed
• 2 heads bok choy, cut into quarters
• 1 cup corn kernels (optional)
• 1 sheet nori sheets, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the sliced green onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the dried chili flakes and miso paste. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the soy sauce, vegetable broth, coconut milk, and chili paste. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Once the broth begins to simmer, add shiitake mushrooms and cubed tofu. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

Step 6

Add the ramen noodles and bok choy to the pot. Cook according to the noodle package instructions (about 3-5 minutes), or until the noodles are soft and the bok choy is tender but still vibrant.

Step 7

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional chili paste, soy sauce, or salt if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the ramen into bowls, dividing the noodles, broth, and toppings evenly.

Step 9

Garnish with the green parts of the green onions, corn kernels, nori strips, and sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately.
