When you want something cozy, flavorful & super easy (20 min to prepare):
Mushrooms Steak & Kale Ramen
Dish allows for a lot of variations so feel free to experiment. I included suggestions for substitutions () below.
Recipe:
Ingredients: king trumpet, clamshell & enoki mushrooms (shiitake, porcini), grass fed steak , organic mushroom broth (vegetable, ramen broth), small onion , garlic , (shallots, scallions, leeks), ginger, jalapeño/chili pepper , kale (bok choy, spinach, thinly sliced cabbage), rice/ramen noodles , Bragg liquid aminos (soy sauce, tamari), olive/avocado oil, sesame oil, chili oil. Optional: salt & pepper, chili flakes, sesame seeds.
Start by chopping & staging all the ingredients. Chop 3/4 & thinly slice 1/4 of sweet onion. Chop 4 cloves garlic & thinly slice 2. Peel, chop 1/2 & thinly slice 1/2 of 1” of fresh ginger. Thinly slice 1/2 jalapeño (to taste). Thinly slice steak. Cut the king trumpet mushrooms on the bias approx. 1” pieces. Separate the clamshells & enoki.
In a soup pot, heat up a little olive or avocado oil. Quickly sauté the chopped onion, then add garlic & ginger. Add the mushrooms & continue sautéing until they start softening (don’t fully cook them since they will finish cooking once you add broth). Add a splash of liquid aminos & stir well. Then add the mushroom broth and bring to a boil. Add the noodles next. They only take approx. 2-4 minutes to cook so be ready to cook the steak as soon as you have thrown them in. Noodles can be cooked separately, if you prefer or if using thicker noodles.
Heat up olive oil in a sauté pan. Add the thinly sliced onion, garlic & ginger and sauté stirring frequently until fragrant (approx. 1 min). Add the thinly sliced steak. Once surface of the steak starts browning, add some sliced jalapeños/chilis, a splash of sesame oil & liquid aminos. You want the steak to still be a little rare.
Once the noodles have cooked, take soup off heat & add the kale. Stir kale in.
Add the mushrooms, kale & noodles broth to a bowl. Then the steak & its sauce. Top with a little more sliced jalapeños, scallions & chili oil.
Enjoy!
