Ingredients
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 teaspoons grated ginger
4 teaspoons grated garlic
4 cups broth (I used chicken, but vegetable would also work)
4 cups water
1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
2 packages instant ramen (noodles only!)
1/2 cup chopped scallions or chives
2 cup chopped kale
1 cups shredded carrots
Sriracha to taste
crunchy golden panko crumbs for topping
Directions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the garlic and ginger; stir fry for 2 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
- Add the broth and the water. Bring to a simmer; add the mushrooms and simmer for 10 minutes or until the mushrooms have softened and the broth is flavorful.
- Add the instant noodles to the hot liquid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until the noodles have softened. Add the scallions and stir to combine.
- Remove from heat, stir in the kale and carrots, and top with crunchy panko crumbs (see notes) and a soft-boiled egg (optional). Season with chili oil, hot sauce, sesame oil, and/or soy sauce and salt to taste.
