Ingredients

• 200g ramen noodles
• 300g Italian sausage
• 2 cups broccoli
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add 200g ramen noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente (firm but not crunchy). Drain thoroughly and set aside. Tip: Avoid overcooking the noodles—they will continue to absorb broth later.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 300g Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch links, and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp on the outside. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Add 4 cups vegetable broth to the skillet, bring to a simmer, then return the sausage to the pot.
3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli, cut into 1/2-inch florets, and 1 tbsp grated ginger to the skillet. Simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the broth is fragrant. Tip: Add the broccoli after the sausage to prevent it from becoming mushy.
4. Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce into the simmering broth, then add the cooked noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the noodles are fully submerged and the broth thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce if needed.
5. Step 5: Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has noodles, sausage, broccoli, and a drizzle of broth. Garnish with additional grated ginger or sesame seeds if desired. Tip: For extra richness, stir in 1 tbsp sesame oil just before serving.
