Instructions
- Carefully julienne carrots into thin, uniform strips, ensuring consistent size for even cooking.
- Thinly slice jalapeno and garlic, separating white and green parts of onions and bok choy to layer flavors strategically.
- Warm avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, sautéing portobellos until they develop a rich, golden-brown exterior, then set aside for garnishing.
- In the same skillet, introduce mixed mushrooms, creating a fragrant base with jalapeno and garlic, incorporating white sections of bok choy and onions, and allowing them to meld together for approximately 4 minutes.
- Pour broth into the vegetable mixture, enhancing with soy sauce and Sriracha for depth, bringing the liquid to a rolling boil.
- Submerge ramen noodles, cooking for 3-4 minutes until perfectly tender, then gently fold in bok choy greens.
- Add julienned carrots during the final minute of cooking to maintain their crisp texture and vibrant color.
- Plate the ramen, garnishing with reserved golden mushrooms and freshly sliced green onions, adjusting seasonings to personal preference.
Notes
- Slice vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and professional presentation.
- Remove mushroom stems for tender texture and prevent woody bites.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting jalapeno and Sriracha quantities for personal preference.
