Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 small roma tomato, diced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (optional; only if you like tang)
  • 3 packages ramen noodles
  • 1/2 cup scallions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 4 poached eggs (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the sesame oil and sriracha to a large stockpot and bring to a simmer over medium-heat. Add the onion and tomato and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the ginger, garlic, and seasonings; cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add 2 cups of water and transfer mixture to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. Return mixture to the pot and add the broth.
  2. Bring to a simmer; add soy sauce and vinegar (if using), and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  3. Add the ramen noodles to the broth and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the noodles have softened. Remove pan from heat, ladle soup into bowls, and top with scallions, cilantro, and eggs (if using). Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you plan to make this ahead of time, I advise making the broth and noodles separately. Drain the noodles and pat them dry, then stir them in right before re-heating and serving. This will help avoid the noodles becoming soggy and soaking up all of the broth.
