Vegan Creamy Mushroom Ramen
Description
The recipe begins by slicing baby bella mushrooms and sautéing them in neutral oil until softened, darkened, and the moisture evaporates, concentrating their flavor. Vegetable broth is added next and brought to a boil, into which the ramen noodles (without seasoning) are cooked until tender. Then fresh spinach is stirred in until wilted, adding a mild vegetal note and contrasting texture.
The final step incorporates canned coconut milk, creating a creamy, slightly sweet broth that coats the noodles and mushrooms, making the dish creamy without dairy. The dish can be served as-is or topped with sliced green onion and chili garlic sauce or sriracha for a spicy kick, balancing the richness and adding flavor complexity.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Tbsp neutral cooking oil $0.02, generic cooking oil
- 4 oz. baby bella mushroom $0.85
- 1.5 cups vegetable broth $0.20
- 1 handful spinach $0.53, fresh
- 1 package ramen noodles $0.25, discard seasoning
- 1/2 cup coconut milk $0.66, canned
Optional Garnishes
- 1 green onion $0.11, sliced
- 1 Tbsp Chili garlic sauce $0.13, or sriracha
Instructions
- Slice the mushrooms. Add them to a small sauce pot with the cooking oil and sauté over medium heat until the mushrooms are soft, dark, and all the moisture in the bottom of the pot has evaporated.
- Add the vegetable broth, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the broth up to a boil. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles (without the seasoning packet) to the broth. Cook the noodles in the boiling broth for about 3 minutes, or until tender.
- Turn the heat off, add a heaping handful of fresh spinach, and stir until the spinach is wilted (about 30 seconds). Pour the coconut milk into the pot and stir to combine.
- Serve the Vegan Creamy Coconut Ramen as-is, or with garnishes like green onion or chili garlic sauce.
