Scale

8 oz ramen noodles (ditch the flavor packet)
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (they should give slightly when pressed)
4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium gives you more control)
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup snow peas, trimmed (naturally vegan and adds perfect crunch)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (never skip the fresh stuff)
2 tsp sesame oil (a little goes a long way)
1 tsp grated ginger (frozen ginger grates beautifully)
1/2 tsp chili flakes
Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

Cook your ramen noodles according to package directions—don’t overthink this step. Drain and set aside while you work on the magic.
In your largest pot, combine vegetable broth, diced mangoes, red bell pepper, and snow peas. Bring this gorgeous mixture to a gentle simmer and enjoy how amazing your kitchen starts smelling.
Stir in soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, grated ginger, and chili flakes all at once. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and mangoes start breaking down into silky golden perfection.
Divide cooked noodles between serving bowls—this is the moment where it all comes together.
Ladle that beautiful mango and vegetable broth right over the noodles, making sure everyone gets plenty of those gorgeous vegetables.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds if you can resist diving in immediately.
Serve hot and prepare for everyone to ask what makes this taste so incredibly good!

Notes:

Don’t skip the lime juice—it’s what balances the sweetness perfectly
This tastes even better when you let the flavors meld for a few minutes before serving
Fresh ginger makes a huge difference over powdered

Storage Tips:

Store broth and noodles separately in the fridge for up to 3 days
Don’t freeze this one—the mango texture gets weird
Reheat gently to preserve that silky broth consistency

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with extra lime wedges, sliced avocado, or steamed edamame for added protein and richness.

Mix It Up:

Add cubed tofu for extra protein
Toss in shiitake mushrooms for meaty umami depth
Try fresh mint with the cilantro for spa-like freshness
