EASTERN MARKET RAMEN NOODLES

Eastern Market Ramen Noodles image

This bowl of noodle goodness was made possible by all the local farmers in the DC Metro area. Thank you for your dedication to cultivating and offering fresh, locally grown veggies. I use Nature is Delicious® non-fried Korean ramen noodles. Noodles, nutrients, spice. I can't think of a more perfect bowl of tasty, spicy, healthy bowl of slurpiness.

Ingredients

5 green beans, trimmed, or more to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 red finger chile pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 (3 ounce) package Korean ramen noodles (such as Nature is Delicious®)
1 (3 ounce) package enoki mushrooms, halved
3 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces, or more to taste
⅓ cup whole Thai basil leaves
¼ cup whole cilantro leaves

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook uncovered until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped garlic; fry, stirring often, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine chicken broth, water, red chile pepper, and sliced garlic in a pot. Bring to a boil; simmer until flavors combine, about 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, fish sauce, black pepper, and rice wine vinegar; simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir green beans, ramen noodles, and seasoning packet included in the package into the pot. Cook until noodles soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in enoki mushrooms; simmer until tender, about 2 minutes. Add scallions; cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
Ladle noodles, green beans, mushrooms, and broth into a bowl. Top with basil and cilantro leaves. Sprinkle fried garlic on top.
