Kimchi Shin Ramen Noodle Soup
This Kimchi Shin Ramen Noodle Soup is just one of many ways to doctor up instant ramen to make it more filling, flavorful, and appetizing.
Equipment
- medium sized pot
- tongs or chopsticks
- ladle
Ingredients
- 6 oz instant ramen noodles 2 packages
- 2 packets ramen seasoning see recipe notes
- ½ cup frozen mixed vegetables
- ½ cup kimchi Homemade or your favorite store bought brand
- ¼ cup fresh basil, julienned
- 2 tsp sesame oil or chili oil
- 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Optional Add ins
- silken tofu, fresh spinach, sautéed mushrooms, sautéed bok choy, cilantro, chili oil/crisp, or fresh graded ginger.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the ramen
- Cook your instant ramen according to the package directions. If you'd rather skip the flavor packet, use vegetable broth instead, seasoning it with soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and ginger powder for a more customized flavor.
Step 2: Add frozen veggies
- A few minutes before the ramen finishes cooking, toss in about 1/2 cup of your favorite frozen veggies (such as edamame, peas, or corn) for extra texture and nutrients.
Step 3: Assemble the bowl
- Once the ramen is fully cooked, carefully spoon the noodles and broth into your soup or ramen bowl.
Step 4: Top with kimchi
- Add a heaping scoop of spicy kimchi on top. This step is important, as cooking kimchi can destroy its beneficial probiotics, so it’s best to add it after the ramen is done.
Step 5: Add your toppings
- Finish off your ramen with additional toppings like green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of aromatic oil (such as sesame oil or chili oil) for added flavor and texture.
Notes
Other vegan ramen brands include Annie Chun's, Mike's Mighty Good Craft Ramen, and Immi Instant Ramen. Check out this article by Peta on Vegan Ramen Options for more information.
Note, I did not include water as an ingredient however, when you follow the ramen package instructions you will see how much water to include for cooking/ the broth. Option to swap out flavor packet for 5 cups vegetable broth with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp of each garlic, onion, and ginger powder.
