Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 cup scallions greens and whites divided, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms sliced
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups kimchi divided (in juices, spicy
- 1 tablespoon gochujang sauce
- 6 ounces instant ramen noodles
- 2 egg yolk
- egg extra-firm tofu, Optional toppings: ramen eggs
Instructions
- Prep all ingredients: Chop the scallions, separating the green ends from the white ends. Minced the garlic and slice the mushrooms. Then chop the kimchi into smaller chunks, reserving the juices for the broth. Separate the eggs, reserving the whites for later use.
- Set a large 6-quart sauce pot over medium heat. Add the sesame oil, scallion whites, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes to soften, stirring regularly.
- Once the mushrooms and onions have softened, add in the broth, 1 cup of chopped kimchi, all kimchi juices, and gochujang sauce. Stir well and bring to a boil. (Reserve the remaining chopped kimchi and scallion greens to garnish the ramen bowls.)
- Once boiling, stir in the ramen noodles and egg yolks. Stir quickly so the egg yolks mix into the broth evenly, creating a silky texture. Simmer the noodles for 3 to 4 minutes to soften.
- To serve: Ladle the Ramen soup into bowls making sure each bowl has a generous amount of noodles and mushrooms. Top each bowl with scallion greens and a dollop of extra kimchi. If desired, add chopped tofu and Ramen eggs on top.

Notes
- Can I make this vegan? Absolutely! The egg yolks create the luxurious broth texture Ramen is known for. However, they are not necessary. To make this recipe vegan, simply omit the egg yolks, and do not add Ramen eggs to each bowl.
- Sensitive to spice or tanginess? You can adjust the spicy heat and tanginess by how much kimchi juice you add to the broth. I like to add it all, but feel free to add part of the juice if needed.
- What about the seasoning packets? If your ramen noodles come with seasoning packets, either save them for later use, or discard them. They are not needed in this recipe.
