Notes

  • To add Mushrooms: you can fry them first over medium heat with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper or add them to boiling noodles
  • Other veggies: make sure they're cooked or steamed first before adding. Left over vegetables are great to add to soup!
  • Tofu: firm tofu, fry it first or add in as is! For silken tofu gently stir in
  • Veggie broth: as always I use better than bouillon soup base, no beef or no chicken preferred. I tested it with the vegetable bouillon and didn't care for it as much
  • For gluten free: Use gluten free ramen
