Tofu, Kale & Shiitake Mushroom Ramen Noodle Soup

Tofu, Kale & Shiitake Mushroom Ramen Noodle Soup from thelittlekitchen.net

To say I'm obsessed with this ramen noodle soup is a little bit of an understatement. McCormick Gourmet challenged me to create a recipe with these ingredients: ginger, kale, shiitake mushrooms and vegetable stock. I immediately thought of ramen noodles. I love making a quick ramen or udon noodle soup for a quick lunch. I usually use chicken broth or about a quarter of the spice packet in the package and I usually doctor it up a lot. Add veggies, tofu or chicken, put an egg on top and call it done!

I absolutely love mushrooms. I'm obsessed with them. My favorite way to cook them is in butter and soy sauce and add them to burgers, omelets, breakfast burritos, you name it. This is the first time I added them to a soup and now I will be doing it EVERY time.

First, poach your eggs. Then,  chop up the kale, carrots and celery. Cut up the mushrooms and tofu too.

Cook the shiitake mushrooms in a soy sauce and butter in a non-stick skillet for about 5 minutes.

Add ground ginger to the vegetable stock. It adds such a nice flavor to it!

Boil the ramen noodles. I used organic ramen noodles that I can buy at World Market. You can also use the packaged quick ramen noodles that you can find in the soup section of your grocery store. Use the noodles from two packages and throw away the spice packet, you won't need it for this recipe.

There's the finished vegetable ginger stock. I cooked the tofu, celery and carrots in the stock.

Prep the noodle bowl. Add noodles, cooked mushrooms, uncooked kale, sliced mini bell peppers and the egg. I added the mini bell peppers for another level of crunch and color.

Pour the broth on top and add tofu, celery and carrots from the stock and serve. Break that yolk, the yolk flavors the soup stock and brings it up another notch. The kale is cooked by the stock and doesn't get too soggy. It's perfection in a bowl. Seriously, I'm so annoying how obsessed I am with this soup! I'm making it AGAIN soon!

      I made this for dinner tonight and it was lite and hearty at the same time. My modifications were: I used more carrots, celery, and ginger in the broth and I sauteed potobello mushroom slices in olive oil with a chopped red anaheim chile, and a whole chopped bell pepper with a generous teaspoon og prechopped garlic. When carrots were al dente I mixed in the mushroom mixture, plated, and added kale. Simply delicious. I had 2 generous bowls and 2 generous storage containers in the freeezer 🙂 Note. I looked up freezing tofu and apparently the texture changes but it sounds good to me. I used the really soft tofu by the way.

      Love this recipe. I made it for dinner last night for me and my parents. I wasn’t sure they would like it but they both did. It’s a great mix of flavours. I added it to my Things I’m Loving post for this week in fact!
