Ingredients

2 (3 oz) Packets Ramen noodles discard seasoning sachets
2 tablespoons Oil sesame oil is recommended
1 tablespoon Ginger minced
1 tablespoon Garlic ~ 3 large cloves, minced
1 Serrano pepper finely chopped
1 cup Babybella mushrooms finely chopped
½ cup Capsicum (Green bell pepper) finely chopped
½ teaspoon Salt or to taste
2 tablespoons Tomato paste
2 tablespoons Gochujang hot sauce
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
4 cups Vegetable broth
½ cup Scallions chopped

Instructions

Cook the ramen noodles as per the package instructions. Once cooked, set them aside.
Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add minced ginger, minced garlic, and finely chopped Serrano pepper. Sauté for about a minute until raw smell of ginger garlic goes away.
Add the finely chopped Baby Bella mushrooms and bell pepper into the pot. Add a pinch of salt to help soften the vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Stir in soy sauce, Gochujang hot sauce, and tomato paste. Mix well as the mixture starts to bubble and blend the flavors.
Pour in the vegetable stock, and bring the broth to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Look for the sign of oil floating on the surface of the broth. It means the broth is cooked perfectly.
Add the chopped scallions (spring onions) to the broth.
Turn off the stove and carefully transfer the flavorful broth to a serving bowl.
Place the cooked ramen noodles in the bowl with the broth.
Add Toppings of your choice and serve.

Notes

Make sure you use Gochujang hot sauce, not Gochujang paste. The hot sauce adds the right amount of kick.
If use Gochujang paste then use less amount as the paste has intense flavor than sauce.
Make sure you don’t overcook ramen noodles. Keep an eye on it, no one likes mushy, overcooked noodles.
