  • 3 teaspoons garlic, grated (about 3-4 cloves)
  • 2 (32-ounce) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger– sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.

  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the scallions and cabbage. If desired, stir in siracha or red chili paste for added heat.

Notes

  1. Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: This ramen can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Before freezing, allow the ramen to come to room temperature or from refrigerator. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or heat over the stovetop.
  2. Noodles: Reach for that classic Maruchan package and ditch the seasoning packet.
  3. Chicken Broth: You can use any broth you prefer such as vegetable or chicken broth, even beef broth would work. I always grab low-sodium.
  4. Coconut Milk: Make sure you grab full-fat coconut milk not coconut cream.
