A warm and cozy bowl of spicy ramen noodles, perfect for chilly evenings, featuring comforting noodles in a savory broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tsp. freshly grated ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp. chili flakes
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms, tough stems removed
  • 1 bunch green onions, divided
  • 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. fish sauce
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 (3-oz.) packs dry ramen noodles (seasoning packs discarded)
  • 3/4 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
  • Optional toppings: fresh basil or cilantro, bean sprouts, soft-boiled egg

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add garlic, ginger, and chili flakes, and simmer for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. In the same pot, add vegetable oil and increase heat to medium-high. Sauté shiitake mushrooms for 6 to 7 minutes until golden brown. Add two-thirds of chopped green onions and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in rice vinegar, stirring to clean up browned bits. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Add ramen noodles and reduce heat, letting it simmer uncovered for about 3 to 5 minutes until noodles are cooked.
  5. Stir in reserved garlic-chili oil and edamame. Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining green onions and optional toppings.

Notes

Adjust chili flakes to your spice preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
