Ginger Noodle Bowl: The Vegan Version Recipe

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 pounds bok choy, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 (3 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cups shredded carrots
  • 2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 12 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 (2 ounce) packages cellophane noodles
  • 3 cups fresh bean sprouts
  • 5 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1: Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Add bok choy to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until it wilts, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3: Stir in the grated garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Add the shredded carrots, Chinese five-spice powder, and ground cumin to the pot, and stir to combine.

Step 5: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil over high heat.

Step 6: Once boiling, add the cellophane noodles. Reduce the heat and simmer until the noodles soften, about 3 minutes.

Step 7: Stir in the fresh bean sprouts and sliced scallions, mixing everything together.

Step 8: Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup stand for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

I made a few substitutions in this recipe by swapping out bok choy for zucchini and mushrooms. The dish turned out fantastic, and I will definitely be adding it to my regular rotation.

Incorporated an abundance of vegetables and diced grilled chicken seasoned with lemon pepper. I used three varieties of mushrooms, three types of onions (shallots included), fresh spinach, bok choy, bean sprouts, ramen noodles, carrots, celery, and fresh basil in the mix. The stew was incredibly flavorful that my grandsons (aged 16, 15, and 13) didn't even notice the multitude of veggies present.
