Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packs Vegan ramen noodles
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Plant-based ground 'beef'
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced (e.g., shiitake or cremini)
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (e.g., avocado or vegetable oil)
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the neutral oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the gochujang and gochugaru, cooking for another minute until the paste is evenly distributed and aromatic.
Pour in the vegetable broth and water, then add the soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small pan, quickly cook the plant-based ground 'beef' crumbles in a teaspoon of sesame oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Set aside.
Once the broth is simmering, add the vegan ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes).
In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add the baby spinach to the broth to wilt.
Divide the noodles and broth evenly into two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked plant-based 'beef' crumbles.
Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds, if desired. Drizzle a bit of toasted sesame oil over the top for added richness.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
