Easy Vegetarian Miso Ramen

Preparation: Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces or thin strips. Mince the garlic, ginger, and onion.
Make the Soup: Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and onion, and sauté until fragrant. Add the water, sake, mirin, and soy sauce, and bring to a gentle boil.
Cook Vegetables: Add the cut vegetables to the pot and simmer for a couple of minutes.
Add Miso Paste: Turn off the heat. Add the miso paste and stir gently until completely dissolved. A miso muddler or small whisk makes this easier.
Cook the Noodles: While making the soup, boil the ramen noodles according to the package instructions and drain.
Assemble: Place the drained noodles in a serving bowl and ladle the hot soup over the noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged. Place the vegetables on top.
