🍽 Ingredients

• 4 cups Vegetable broth or chicken broth
• 1 package Ramen noodles
• 1 cup, chopped Carrots
• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• to taste Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• for garnish Green onions, chopped

📖 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop your favorite vegetables into bite-sized pieces. I like to use carrots, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts—but honestly, anything goes. Toss the veggies with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they're tender and slightly browned. You'll know they're ready when they're easily pierced with a fork. Don't forget to flip them halfway through—unless you enjoy unevenly cooked vegetables, that is.
2. Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring 4 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option) to a boil. Add your ramen noodles. Cook according to the package directions. We don't want mushy noodles, so keep an eye on them! Once cooked, drain the noodles, reserving about ½ cup of the cooking liquid. Set the noodles aside.
3. In the same pot you cooked the noodles in, whisk together 2 tablespoons of tahini, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Add a splash of reserved noodle cooking liquid. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If it seems too thick, add more liquid until it reaches the desired consistency. A bit of a tip: start with less liquid and add as needed—trust me on this one!
4. Add your roasted vegetables and cooked ramen noodles to the creamy sesame sauce. Gently toss to coat everything evenly. Make sure to get every noodle nicely coated in that delicious sauce. This is the most fun part—stirring everything together! It feels very therapeutic, don't you think?
5. Serve immediately in warm ramen bowls. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (totally worth the extra minute!) and a sprinkle of chopped green onions if you feel fancy. Mmm, enjoy your masterpiece! You've earned it.
