Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups unsalted vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 heads baby bok choy, halved
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces unsalted ramen noodles (or whole wheat noodles if preferred)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the unsalted vegetable broth and stir in the low-sodium soy sauce. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, baby bok choy, carrots, and red bell pepper to the pot. Let the vegetables cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
In the meantime, cook the unsalted ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Once the vegetables are tender, taste the broth and adjust the flavor if needed (e.g., add a splash more low-sodium soy sauce or a pinch of salt-free seasoning).
Divide the cooked ramen noodles into four bowls. Ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the noodles.
Top each bowl with sliced green onions and freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low-sodium vegetable ramen!
