Ramen Noodles are easy to make at home!

Ramen Noodle Bowl

You guys know soup is my jam, right? Whether that is Potato Soup, Minestrone or Split Pea Soup I haven’t met many soups I haven’t enjoyed! How about ramen? Have you tried that yet? The first time I had a ramen bowl was in Hawaii.

It was full of big flavor from the broth and tender pork belly. It was filled with crunchy vegetables and topped with a soft boiled egg. It was delicious!

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 that 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!

But that isn’t realistic for us home cooks, right? If I don’t have two days to make a broth, I’m pretty sure you don’t either! My version takes only 20 minutes! It’s light on protein and filled full of crunchy vegetables.

Here’s another bonus, since I developed my broth recipe, ramen broth is now readily available for purchase at the grocery store! Even better, right? YES!!

Short cuts are ok as long as the end result is a great meal!
