Easy Homemade Ramen Bowl

Easy Homemade Ramen Bowl

The first time I had a ramen bowl was in Hawaii. The kids live there and once when we were visiting, treated us to a great new restaurant specializing in ramen. I was in love with that bowl! It was full of big flavor from the broth and pork belly. Filled with crunchy vegetables and topped off with a soft boiled egg.

In a word, delicious!

Homemade Ramen Bowl is easy and flavorful – it only takes about 20 minutes!

I’ve been working on my own recipe ever since, but I haven’t been happy with the results. Until now that is!

I think the reason it took so long was because I was trying to make it too complicated. So here’s the deal. If you go to a ramen restaurant – they will have the most amazing broth that has taken a day or two to make. Don’t get me wrong – it is totally worth it and completely delicious!

Lots of broth, delicious noodles and crunchy vegetables make this a wonderful bowl!

But that isn’t realistic for us home cooks. I/you do not have a day! My version takes only 20 minutes! It’s light on protein and filled full of crunchy vegetables. Short cuts are ok as long as the end result is a great meal. This is delicious and good for you too, bonus!!!

Are you ready to slurp some noodles?

When I say simple, let me explain how easy this is – you’ll chop up your vegetables. Bok Choy, carrots and onions – into the pan it goes.

Add some Chinese Five Spice seasoning and stir fry for just a couple of minutes. While that is cooking, you’ll shred a pre-cooked chicken breast.

Next add chicken stock to the cooked vegetables, soy sauce and fish sauce.

Now add the noodles. I’ve experimented with the expensive ramen noodles and the ones we’ve all eaten from the packet. Let me tell you – I really don’t taste much of a difference. Use the packet noodles, just toss the seasoning packet – you won’t use it in this recipe.

The last minute of cooking you’ll add some chopped spinach and the chicken breast. Cover and simmer until the noodles are completely cooked.

Wala!

Ramen at home? You bet, try this quick and easy recipe!

It’s that easy!

Are you ready to slurp some noodles? Grab some chopsticks and a great big spoon – let’s get cooking!

Want to serve up a vegetarian ramen bowl? Simply replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock and omit the chicken breast. You could replace it with firm tofu and also add in soy beans – delish!

If you’re going to serve up a feast, let me suggest a few more recipes! A big platter Honey Walnut Shrimp with some Chicken Fried Rice, maybe toss in some Asian Sliders? That’s a party right there!
