Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons low-fat miso paste
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 blocks dried curly ramen noodles (low-fat, no seasoning packets)
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms (thinly sliced)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 8 ounces tofu (firm, cubed)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- to taste sriracha (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, heat the low-sodium vegetable broth over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Whisk in the low-fat miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic until fully combined.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot and let them cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they soften slightly.
Carefully add the dried ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until tender.
Stir in the cubed tofu and baby spinach, allowing the tofu to warm through and the spinach to wilt for about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning by adding more chili garlic sauce or sriracha if you prefer a spicier kick.
Divide the ramen and broth evenly between two bowls, making sure to distribute the tofu, spinach, and mushrooms equally.
Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and additional sriracha if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat spicy ramen!
