Ingredients
- 8 oz Plant-based ground 'pork' (soy-based or pea protein substitute)
- 8 oz Ramen noodles (vegan-friendly)
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Miso paste
- 2 tbsp Chili garlic paste
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 0.5 cup Corn kernels (optional)
- 1 cup Bean sprouts (optional)
- 2 sheets Nori sheets, cut into small strips
- 2 tsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 pc Lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 2
Add the plant-based ground 'pork' to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until evenly browned. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
To the same pot, add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, miso paste, and chili garlic paste. Stir well to dissolve the miso paste completely.
Step 4
Bring the broth to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.
Step 5
Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Step 6
Add the baby spinach and corn (if using) to the simmering broth and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Step 7
To assemble, divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, making sure to include spinach and corn.
Step 8
Top each bowl with the cooked plant-based 'pork', bean sprouts (if using), sliced green onions, nori strips, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Step 9
Serve with a lime wedge on the side for an added citrusy kick. Enjoy your Vegetarian Spicy Pork Ramen!
