Ingredients

• 2 cups mushrooms (chopped)

• 1 cup onion (chopped)

• 1 cup red bell pepper (chopped)

• 1 Tbsp garlic cloves (grated)

• 1 Tbsp fresh ginger (grated)

• 1 Tbsp fresh lemongrass (outer leaves removed, grated)

• 4 cups vegetable broth (unsalted, preferably homemade)

• 2 cups water

• 8 ounces organic brown rice noodles

• 2 Tbsps organic miso (mellow yellow or chickpea)

• 2–3 tsps gochujang (or other chili paste)

• 1 cup coconut milk (light, BPA-free canned)

• 2 Tbsps organic tamari (reduced-sodium or coconut aminos)

• 2 cups bok choy (chopped)

• 1 cup organic edamame (shelled, frozen)

• 2 Tbsps lime juice

• 3 green onions (white and green parts, thinly sliced)

• ¼ cup cilantro (chopped)

• sriracha (optional, to taste)

Directions

1. Add the mushrooms, onion, and red pepper to a large stockpot. Heat on medium-high, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. Cook for another minute.

3. Add the vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil then add the noodles.

4. Continue to boil and cook the noodles for 10 minutes or until they are tender (taste test!).

5. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the miso, coconut milk, tamari, and gochujang. Whisk until the miso is completely dissolved.

6. Once the noodles are tender, turn off the heat and transfer the coconut milk mixture to the veggie ramen and stir.

7. Add the bok choy and edamame, stirring until the bok choy is slightly wilted. Squeeze in the lime juice.

8. Divide the ramen between four bowls and garnish with a generous amount of green onion, cilantro, and sriracha, if using.
