Ingredients

Noodles and Vegetables

  • 4-6 oz ramen noodles (uncooked)
  • Optional baby bok choy, sliced in half lengthways

Sauce and Broth

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • 2 cups + 2 tablespoons vegetable broth (divided)
  • 1 cup lite coconut milk
  • 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce

Garnishes (Optional)

  • Chili oil
  • Corn
  • Sesame seeds
  • Green onions
  • Julienned carrots

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles and bok choy: Bring a small pot of water to a boil sufficient to cook your noodles. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles and optional baby bok choy. Cook according to the noodle package directions, cooking the bok choy alongside the noodles or removing early depending on your desired texture. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the flavored base: In a medium saucepan, heat toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot, add grated ginger and garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant to build the flavor base.
  3. Add peanut butter and miso: Stir in the peanut butter and miso paste, then slowly pour in 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth (or hot water) while mixing to combine and create a smooth mixture. Let the mixture simmer gently for 1 minute to meld flavors.
  4. Finish the broth: Add the lite coconut milk along with the remaining 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes to develop a rich broth. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, adjusting the saltiness to your preference.
  5. Assemble the ramen bowls: Divide the cooked noodles and baby bok choy evenly between two bowls. Ladle the hot peanut butter miso broth over the noodles. Garnish with your choice of chili oil, corn, sesame seeds, green onions, or julienned carrots for extra texture and flavor. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust soy sauce amount based on preferred saltiness.
  • Optional garnishes add flavor and textural variety.
  • Cook bok choy alongside noodles or separately for preferred tenderness.
  • Use lite coconut milk to keep broth creamy but light.
  • For gluten-free, ensure the soy sauce and ramen noodles are certified gluten-free.
