A crisp, clean bowl of ramen with edamame, shredded carrots, and a soy-ginger broth that delivers refreshing balance.

Green pods rest in broth—Crunch of carrot, broth like breeze—Clean and full of spring

Ingredients

  • 4 cups vegetable broth (preferably low-sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 portions dried ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
  • 1 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. In a pot, bring vegetable broth to a simmer. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes to infuse flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles according to package directions; drain well.
  3. Blanch edamame in boiling water for 2–3 minutes (if using frozen), then drain.
  4. To assemble, divide noodles among bowls. Ladle hot broth over noodles, then top with edamame, shredded carrots, green onions, and sesame seeds.
  5. Finish with toppings: radish, microgreens, avocado, pickled ginger, lime wedges, and extra sesame seeds as desired.

Perfect Pairings

Drink
Dry Sake (Junmai or Honjozo, chilled)
A chilled dry sake, such as a Junmai or Honjozo, offers a clean, crisp, and subtly fruity profile that complements the fresh, light flavors of edamame and shredded carrot ramen. Its delicate nature enhances the dish's Japanese essence without overpowering it.
