Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, a 1/2 inch of freshly grated ginger, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic chili sauce to the bottom of a saucepan.
Warm the spices and oil over low heat for 1 minute.
Add 2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce) and turn up the heat to medium until the broth boils.
Once the broth is boiling, add 8 oz of ramen noodles. Continue to allow the soup to boil for 30 seconds and then turn the heat off and allow the ramen to sit for 4-5 minutes until the noodles are soft and break apart easily.
Add sauteed veggies and/or the protein of choice along with cilantro and green onions.
Notes
*You may need to add a little more soy sauce to your broth depending on the type and brand that you use. Different types have different amounts of flavor and sodium.
Variations
Chicken Flavored Ramen - Omit the soy sauce, ginger, and hot sauce and use 2 cups of vegan Not Chick'n broth. The chicken flavor tastes great with some fresh parsley tossed in at the end. You can also add some vegan chicken strips if you would like.Beef Flavored Ramen - Omit the soy sauce, ginger, and hot sauce and use 2 cups of vegan, not beef broth.Miso Flavored Ramen - Omit the soy sauce from the broth. After you turn off the heat, stir in 2-3 teaspoons of miso paste. (You don't want to boil the miso.) It's delicious with fresh green onions and fried or grilled tofu.
