1cupthinly sliced bok choy greens(kale works great too)
2-3TBSPchopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Prep your veggies and measure out all ingredients. This soup comes together fast!
Peel and julienne carrots. Thinly slice jalapeño. Peel and mince garlic. Chop broccoli into small pieces. Chop green onion and separate into white and green portions. (set aside greens for topping) Chop/slice any additonal veggies your heart desires.
In a large pot, bring 1 tsp sesame oil to medium-high heat saute garlic and the white portions of the green onions. Add chili garlic sauce and saute an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add broth and soy sauce. Mix well to deglaze garlic/chili sauce into brothand switch to high heat. Bring broth to a boil then reduce heat to a low and cover, allowing the flavors to mingle whlie you cook your noodles.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add noodles. Cook via package instructions until tender. For typcial ramen noodles this will be approx. 3-4 minutes.
Drain noodles using a mesh sieve or fine colander. Divide between two large bowls.
Give the broth a little taste and further season if/as desired. A little extra garlic chili sauce will add spice while extra soy sauce will add saltiness.
Add broccoli, carrots, jalapeno, and any other veggies you'd like to soften. If adding optional bok choy or kale, add them now as well. Stir into broth and allow veggies to cook slightly until desired tenderness is reached. I like mine al dente with a little crunch still!
Divide broth between ramen bowls and top with chopped green onion (the reserved green portions) and any extras toppings your heart desires. I like to add an extra dollop of chili garlic sauce, fresh cilantro, and some extra sliced jalapeño.
