Miso Ramen with Lime
with bok choy / cauliflower / edamame
This simple vegetarian ramen is packed with green vegetables and cauliflower florets for texture. This meal was last featured in 2020.
Smarts #1: The miso provides the majority of flavor in the base of this simple soup. Because miso, soy sauce, butter, and stock can all vary in the amount of salt and flavor they add, be sure to taste the soup and adjust at the end of cooking. You may need up to several tablespoons of additional miso, depending on the level of saltiness in your version.
Smarts #2: Every ramen soup is great when topped with a soft-boiled egg. If you want to add one, check out this recipe from the archives for instructions.
