Ingredients

  • 400 g chestnut mushrooms (£0.77)
  • 300 g instant ramen noodles (£0.22 x 3 )=(£0.66)
  • 6 eggs (£1.55/2)=(£0.77)
  • 5 carrots (£0.32)
  • 2 bulbs of pak choi (£0.85)
  • Fresh ginger (£0.55)
  • 50 g spring onions (£0.48)
  • 3 tbsp red Thai paste (£1.98/2)=(£0.99)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (£0.62/4)=(£0.15)
  • Fresh chillis (£0.47)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 - 1.8 litre veggie stock
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Start by washing the mushrooms and slicing them into quarter pieces. Do the same for the pak choi, slicing into quarters lengthways so the root keeps the leaves attached.
  • Peel and grate the ginger & crush the garlic.
  • Add the Thai paste, soy sauce, olive oil, vegetable stock (1.5 -1.8 litres), garlic, ginger, pak choi and mushrooms into the slow cooker. Stir so everything has combined and pop the lid on for 3 hours. Heat level - medium.
  • After the slow cooking period, add the instant ramen noodles (optionally add some spiralised carrots here too) into the slow cooker whilst you boil up an egg to top the dish with. I like mine soft boiled so that’s a boil time of 5 minutes. Add salt to taste.
  • Whilst you’re waiting for the egg to boil, slice up some spring onion, carrots and fresh chilli to garnish the ramen with.
  • When the egg is ready your noodles should have cooked through and the ramen will be ready to serve. Top with the soft-boiled egg, chilli, carrot and spring onion and you’re good to go!
