Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 4 oz. baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1.5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 handful fresh spinach
  • 1 package ramen noodles (seasoning packet discarded)
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk

Optional Garnishes

  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp chili garlic sauce or sriracha

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced baby bella mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and have darkened in color, enhancing their flavor and texture.
  2. Boil Broth: Pour the vegetable broth into the pot with the mushrooms and bring it to a boil, creating a flavorful base for the ramen.
  3. Cook Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the boiling broth, discarding the seasoning packet. Cook the noodles for about 3 minutes until they are tender and fully cooked.
  4. Add Spinach: Turn off the heat, then stir in the fresh spinach. Stir gently until the spinach wilts, adding a fresh, green component to the dish.
  5. Mix Coconut Milk: Pour in the canned coconut milk and stir well to combine, creating a rich and creamy broth for the ramen.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Serve the ramen hot, optionally garnished with sliced green onion and a tablespoon of chili garlic sauce or sriracha for added spice and flavor.

Notes

  • Discard the ramen seasoning packet to reduce sodium and unwanted additives; the vegetable broth and coconut milk provide all the necessary flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots or bok choy for extra nutrition.
  • Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce or sriracha to suit your spice preference.
  • The coconut milk adds creaminess without dairy, making this dish suitable for those avoiding lactose.
