There’s nothing quite like a steaming bowl of ramen on a chilly day — especially when it does more than just warm you up. This Mushroom Ramen with Kimchi Chili Oil is a deeply nourishing twist on a classic comfort food, designed to support hormone balance, stress resilience, and gut health from the inside out.

Mushrooms are one of nature’s most powerful functional foods — rich in vitamin D for hormone synthesis and adrenal support, while varieties like shiitake help your liver gently detox and clear excess hormones. Paired with the mineral-rich collagen in my Ramen Beef Bone Broth, this bowl helps restore calm and balance to your entire system.

Finished with a drizzle of spicy kimchi chili oil and a few warming aromatics, it’s proof that food can be both healing and heavenly. Whether you’re craving comfort, hormone harmony, or simply a cozy night in, this ramen delivers it all — one nourishing slurp at a time.

Serves: 1 Total Time: 25 minutes (10 minutes prep time, 15 minutes cook time)

1 Tbsp. Butter

1 Tbsp. Avodado or Olive Oil

1/C assorted mushrooms (I used Oyster and Shiitake mushrooms)

2 green onions, diced

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 Tbsp. ginger, grated

1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

1 Tbsp. coconut aminos

8-ounces Ramen Bone Broth (1 packet) + 1 Tbsp. Ramen Bone Broth Powder

1 cup Brown Rice Ramen Noodles, cooked (omit if on one of my diet plans)

Kimchi Chili Oil:

2 Tbsp. Chili oil

1 Tbsp. Kimchi juice

Toppings (optional):

3 Bok choy stems, lightly sautéed

Kimchi

Kimchi pickles

Soft-boiled egg

Kimchi Chili oil

Directions:

Melt butter and oil in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Sauté mushrooms until they begin to sweat (1-2 minutes). Add green onion, garlic, ginger, and bone broth powder, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until soft. Add apple cider vinegar and coconut aminos, stir to combine. Add Ramen Bone Broth and allow to simmer for 4 minutes. Add cooked ramen noodles and simmer for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Ladle ramen into a bowl and top with favorite fix-ins. Here, I used Bok choy (lightly sautéed), kimchi, kimchi pickles, soft-boiled egg, and kimchi chili oil.

*You make the Kimchi Chili oil but whisking both ingredients above together.
