Gut Healing Ramen Recipe

The infamous ramen recipe….! It’s delicious, easy and so healing for the gut with a few magic ingredients added 💥

This recipe was first developed and refined on our van trip when we had limited cooking resources - hence why it’s super easy! It’s certainly not a super ‘authentic’ ramen - it’s just my version for sure.

This recipe is easy to adapt to what you have in the fridge, but I would consider the non-negotioble ingredients to be as follows;

• Ginger

• Bone broth - liquid or powdered

• Miso

The rest is up to you to have a play around with, if you wish! Or follow the recipe exactly. Up to you :)

Ingredients

Serves 4 people (or 2 with leftovers!)

• 2 tbsp of sesame oil or butter

• 1 x onion or leek, thinly sliced

• 1/2 - 1 tsp of salt

• 1 x thumb sized chunk of ginger, chopped small

• 2 x cloves of garlic

• 500-600 grams of pork mince

• 6-8 brown mushrooms or 3-4 portabellos

• 2-3L of bone broth (I like mine really brothy!)

  • If I don’t have liquid bone broth on hand, I’ll often use powdered. I love the Mitchell’s Powdered Bone Broth, I make it up with about 1 tbsp/litre which is relatively dilute but combined with the miso there’s plenty of flavour!

  • To be honest, even if I’m using liquid bone broth, I’ll add extra of the Mitchells’ Powdered Bone Broth to boost the collagen content for our joints and skin 🙌🏻

• 2-3 tbsp of miso

• 1 tbsp of tahini

• 1 broccoli chopped

• 2 x bunches of bok choy, chopped.

• Rice noodles or vermicelli

Additional (optional) toppings:

• Soft-boiled eggs

• Sliced green onions

• Nori sheets (seaweed)

• Chili oil or sesame seeds

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the aromatics

1. In a large pot, heat the sesame oil or butter over medium heat.

2. Add the sliced onion (or leek) and salt, and sauté for about 10 minutes, until softened and fragrant. If you’re able to give the onions a bit longer, they’ll start to caramelise which adds nice flavour.

3. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for a further 3-4 mins.

Step 2: Cook the pork

1. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the pork mince to the pot, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Break up the pork with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, turn the heat down again, then add the sliced mushrooms, and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Build the Broth

1. Pour the bone broth into the pot with the onions, pork and mushrooms.

2. Add the miso paste and tahini, stirring well until they’re fully dissolved in the broth.

3. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer, letting the flavors blend for about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 5: Add the Vegetables

1. Add the chopped broccoli to the simmering broth and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until just tender.

2. Add the chopped bok choy and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until it wilts.

Step 6: Add the Noodles and Pork

1. Add the rice noodles/vermicelli directly into the pot, stirring gently to incorporate.

Step 7: Serve and Garnish

1. Divide the ramen into bowls.

2. Optionally, top with a soft-boiled egg, green onions, nori sheets, or a drizzle of chili oil or sprinkle of sesame seeds.

3. Serve hot and enjoy!
