Cooking Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients
- Chop all vegetables and keep green parts separate from white parts of onions and bok choy. Getting everything ready first makes cooking go smoothly.
- Brown Your Portobellos
- Warm up avocado oil and cook your portobello mushrooms until they're golden brown, roughly 3 to 4 minutes per side. Put these aside for later.
- Start Your Flavor Foundation
- Warm both oils and toss in your mixed mushrooms, garlic, jalapeño and white vegetable parts. Cook until everything gets soft and aromatic, about 4 minutes.
- Assemble Your Broth
- Add your broth, Sriracha and soy sauce. Wait for it to simmer then add your noodles. When noodles are almost done, throw in the green bok choy pieces.
- Finish With Style
- Sample your broth and add extra soy sauce or hot sauce if needed. Fill your bowls with soup and top with your golden mushrooms, green onions and whatever extras you fancy.
Insider Tips
Try different mushroom combos for more complex flavors. Whenever possible, grab fresh ramen instead of dried. Want extra texture? Throw carrots in right before serving. A little mirin or miso will take your broth to the next level.

Great Side Options
This tastes amazing with crunchy spring rolls alongside it. Start your meal with some warm edamame beans. Grab some chilled green tea to drink and you'll feel like you're sitting in your favorite ramen spot.
Storage Tips
Store any extras in your fridge and they'll stay yummy for 3 days. When warming it up again, add some extra broth so it doesn't get too thick. Planning to freeze? Make the soup base and veggies but cook fresh noodles when you're ready to eat.
Tasty Variations
Want more heat? Drizzle in some chili oil or add a spoonful of gochujang. Need more protein? Just toss in some tofu, chicken chunks or shrimp. Going vegan? Just double-check that your noodles and soy sauce don't contain animal products.
