Servings: 2
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon neutral oil
- ½ teaspoon grated ginger
- 3 garlic cloves finely minced
- 3 stalks green onion white and green part separated
- ½ tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2½ cups water
- 1 piece of kombu 5"x3"
- 2 instant noodle square* 63g each
- ½ tablespoon soy sauce
- a handful of bok choy halved
- 1 tablespoon miso yellow
- ½ tablespoon dou ban jiang fermented bean sauce
- ½ cup unsweetened plant milk
Garnish
- 2-3 tablespoons frozen sweet corn thawed
- a splash of chile oil
- toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- To make the ramen broth, heat a 2-quart saucepan and add the oil.
- Sauté the ginger until aromatic. Then, add the garlic, white part of scallions, toasted sesame, and continue to sauté for another 30 seconds.
- Next, add the water and kombu. Bring the mixture to a boil then lower the heat down and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. This step is to cook the kombu and you can place a lid over in this step but do make sure that the broth is simmering.
- Remove the kombu. I saved mine for a side dish.
- Then, immerse the bottom of the sieve in the broth. Using the back of a spoon, stir and press the miso and dou ban jiang through the sieve until all is dissolved.
- Add the noodle and soy sauce. Cook the noodle as directed on the package.
- Right before the noodles turn al-dente, add the bok choy and cook until crisp-tender. Swirl in the milk and cook for another minute to warm up the milk.
- Turn off the heat and transfer noodle to a bowl.
- To serve, top it with corn, chopped scallions (green parts), a swirl of chile oil, and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes
- Please use 1 instant noodle square or double the amount of broth if you like more broth.
- The instant noodle that I used is meant for a one-pot dish like this.
- If you can't find store-bought chile oil, check my Easy 5-ingredient chili oil recipe.
- Please note that the saltiness of miso and dou ban jiang (fermented bean sauce) varies by brand, so taste test before adding more or serving.
