Cooking Guide:
-
Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Set aside. -
Cook the Noodles:
Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a pot. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions. -
Assemble the Ramen:
While the noodles are cooking, heat a separate pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of sesame oil and saute any desired vegetables (mushrooms, carrots) until softened. -
Finish the Broth:
Once the noodles are cooked, reserve about 2 tablespoons of the starchy noodle water before draining. Drain the noodles and add them back to the pot with the broth. -
Flavor Boost:
Add the prepared sauce to the pot with the broth and noodles. Stir everything together to combine the flavors. If the broth seems too thick, add some of the reserved noodle water to thin it out. -
Serve it Up!
Divide the ramen between bowls. Top with your favorite toppings like sliced scallions, soft-boiled egg, kimchi, nori seaweed, or any other vegetables you like.
Tips:
- Spice it Up: Don’t be afraid to adjust the amount of gochujang for your desired spice level. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste.
- Protein Power: Add cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp to your ramen for a more filling meal.
- Customize Your Broth: You can use chicken broth or a pre-made vegetable broth for added flavor depth.
- Leftovers: If you have leftover cooked ramen noodles, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them gently in broth before serving.
