Directions

Prepare Stock

Combine 4 cups reduced-sodium broth, 3 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons peeled, grated fresh ginger root, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon white miso paste in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5-10 minutes, just to let the flavors meld together.

Simmer

If desired, add ½ cup mushrooms, 1/4 c. tablespoons red pepper, and 1 cup bok choy greens into the simmering broth, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until greens are wilted, yet still vibrant.

Cook Noodles

Add in packaged ramen noodles (discard seasoning pack) and cook according to package directions. Typically this is 2-3 minutes.

Serve

Dish up cooked ramen into serving bowls and top ramen as desired.
