Directions

Step 1

Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil and cooking the whole-grain ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour the low-sodium beef broth into the pot and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce and red miso paste, mixing until well combined.

Step 6

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and julienned carrot to the broth, simmering until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the pot along with the baby spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts slightly.

Step 8

To serve, divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls, ladle the beef and vegetable broth over the noodles.

Step 9

Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 10

For extra seasoning, drizzle with low-sodium tamari or additional soy sauce to taste.
