    Variations

    Add Tofu

    If you want to add a little protein to your mushroom ramen, you can cube tofu and add it to your soup. 

    You can also fry your tofu before you add it to your ramen. Use firm or extra firm tofu, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, and sesame oil. Remove the tofu from the package and then drain it and pat it dry. Cut it into 3x3-inch cubes. Toss the tofu with soy sauce and coat with a mixture of 3 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp garlic powder, and black pepper. In a pan, heat the oil, and then add the tofu to the pan. Stir fry until the tofu is golden brown. Flip the tofu to makes sure both sides are crispy. You can add soy sauce during this step if you’d like. 

    Mushroom Ramen FAQs

    scooping a spoonful of mushroom ramen

    What type of mushroom is in ramen?

    Typically, you might see that restaurants use shitake mushrooms. But you can use any type you like! Most grocery stores will have Portabellini (brown, medium-sized), button (white, medium-sized), or Portobello (brown, large).

    At more specialized grocery stores, you might find king oyster mushrooms (white, large), shimeji mushrooms (brown, small, long-stemmed), and enoki mushrooms (white, small, long-stemmed). 

    At international markets, you might also be able to find dried shitake mushrooms. To use these, you put them in water overnight before cooking them. 

    What are good toppings for ramen?

    Other great toppings you might add to this recipe are bamboo shoots, chopped or shredded leeks, raw or cooked bean sprouts, seaweed, and corn.

    Instructions

    Make the noodles:

    • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add ramen noodles and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and toss with 1 tsp of sesame oil, to prevent sticking. Set aside.

    Make the chili oil:

    • In a small nonstick pan, combine the sesame oil, red chili flakes, sesame seeds, and half of the garlic. Cook over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.

    Make the broth:

    • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add scallion whites, remaining garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1 minute. Add the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until ready to serve.

    Make the veggies:

    • In the same pan that was used for the chicken, add another drizzle of olive oil. Add mushrooms and cook over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes, until softened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add spinach to pan and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until wilted.

    Assemble the ramen bowls:

    • Prepare two large soup bowls. Add a generous helping of ramen noodles to each bowl. Pour broth over the noodles. Add the chili oil, to taste. (Be careful—you may find it spicy.) Top each bowl with the veggies and scallion greens. Sprinkle with cripsy onions, if desired. Serve.
