Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms
  • 3 packets ramen noodles, seasoning packet reserved (1 packet per person)
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 onions (yellow or red)
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh minced ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced for garnish
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos (or low sodium soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic chili paste
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil
  • 1 15oz can of corn
  • 2 eggs
  • scallions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Instructions for soft boiled egg:

  • Boil water in a pot, and add the eggs, without breaking (you can do this by placing the egg on a spoon and slowly lowering the spoon into the pot). Boil for 7 minutes, then drain and place eggs in a bowl filled with ice water. Let sit 10 minutes.

Instructions for Ginger Ramen Soup:

  • Fill a pot with water (enough to cover noodle packets), and place over burner on high. This will be for cooking your ramen noodles.
  • Heat oil in deep pot. Toss in onions, carrots and celery and cook about 5 minutes. Add shiitakes and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 more minutes.
  • Toss in minced ginger and garlic into the pot and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Now add the chicken broth and 1/2 cup of water. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix together coconut aminos, garlic chili paste, hoisin and rice vinegar. Add to the broth and stir to combine. Bring soup to a simmer and lower to low.
  • Drain the liquid from your can of corn and rinse the corn. Toss into your soup and continue to heat the soup on low heat.
  • *Once the water you started at the beginning of the recipe is boiling, toss in your ramen noodles. I recommend using 1 pack per person. Cook until fully cooked, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Toss with sesame oil to keep from sticking.
  • Now ladle your broth into a bowl and place your noodles on top. Assemble your bowl with 1/2 of a soft boiled egg, sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips
  • Coconut aminos taste like a slightly sweeter soy sauce, and they contain 90 mg of sodium per teaspoon, while traditional soy sauce contains about 280 mg of sodium per teaspoon.  I like the flavor of the coconut aminos, but if you only have soy sauce, that's fine! 
  • If you don't have shiitake mushrooms, don't worry about it!  Use what you have.  That is the beauty of soups, you can add pretty much whatever you want!  A can of peas would also go great in this.
