Quick Homemade Ramen You NEED to Try!
Whip up a flavorful bowl of homemade ramen quickly with savory broth, shiitake mushrooms, and aromatic ginger and garlic.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 teaspoons grated ginger
- 4 teaspoons grated garlic
- 4 cups broth (I used chicken, but vegetable would also work)
- 4 cups water
- 1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
- 2 packages instant ramen (noodles only!)
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions or chives
- 2 cups chopped kale (or spinach)
- 1 cup shredded carrots (or another vegetable like bok choy)
Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the garlic and ginger; stir fry for 2 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
- Add the broth and the water. Bring to a simmer; add the mushrooms and simmer for 10 minutes or until the mushrooms have softened and the broth is flavorful.
- Add the instant noodles to the hot liquid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until the noodles have softened. Add the scallions and stir to combine.
- Remove from heat, stir in the kale and carrots. Season with chili oil, hot sauce, sesame oil, and/or soy sauce and salt to taste.
Notes
- For an extra savory broth, use a good quality chicken or vegetable stock.
- Don't overcook the noodles; they should be tender but still have a slight bite.
- Customize your ramen with your favorite toppings like a soft-boiled egg, nori, or corn. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
