We've taken ramen, an absolute staple, and made it creamy, flavoursome and delicious. We used vegetable stock and coconut milk for this creamy aromatic sauce, and then added in aubergine, portobello mushrooms and a whole host of wonderful ingredients.

Make the broth

- Pour into the pan and add the coconut milk, tamari, brown rice miso paste, mirin and half of the sliced spring onions
- Reduce the heat to low and leave to simmer for 5-10, or until the aubergines finish cooking
Time to serve
