Ingredients:

• 4 oz ramen noodles (vegan)
• 1 tablespoon vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, or bok choy)
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• Optional toppings: sesame seeds, chili oil, nori strips, tofu

Instructions:

1. Cook the ramen: Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the garlic: In a large saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
3. Create the broth: Stir in the miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Slowly add the vegetable broth, stirring to dissolve the miso. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the coconut milk, mixing until the broth is smooth and creamy.
4. Add the vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and simmer for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant.
5. Assemble the ramen: Divide the cooked noodles into bowls. Pour the miso butter broth over the noodles, making sure to evenly distribute the vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and any other toppings you like.
