• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 2 eggs Soft-boiled eggs (optional)
• 3 stalks Scallions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the shirataki noodles thoroughly under cold water. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat coconut oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in gochujang and miso paste, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavors.

Step 5

Pour in chicken or vegetable stock and unsweetened almond milk. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Add tamari (or coconut aminos) and sesame oil to the broth. Let it simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

In a separate pan over medium heat, sauté the sliced shiitake mushrooms with a small drizzle of sesame oil until tender. Set aside.

Step 8

Add the drained shirataki noodles to the simmering broth. Allow them to heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Divide the noodles and broth evenly between two large bowls.

Step 10

Top each bowl with baby spinach (it will wilt slightly in the hot broth), sautéed shiitake mushrooms, scallions, and a soft-boiled egg if using.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb spicy miso ramen!
