Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz ramen noodles (or your favorite Asian-style noodles)
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep all vegetables and aromatics: mince garlic, grate ginger, slice mushrooms, julienne carrot, and separate green onion whites and greens.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and white parts of green onion. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in gochujang paste and cook for 30 seconds. Add broth and soy sauce. Stir to dissolve and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add mushrooms and carrots. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until softened slightly.
  5. Add noodles directly to the pot and cook according to package instructions until just al dente.
  6. Stir in baby spinach and cook for 30 seconds until wilted. Serve in bowls topped with green onion greens, soft-boiled egg halves, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.

Notes

Keep noodles and broth separate when storing to maintain texture. Customize with proteins like tofu, shredded chicken, or shrimp. For a gluten-free version, use tamari and rice noodles.
