Easy Homemade Ramen Bowls

Easy Homemade Ramen BowlsYield: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or (2 tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 tsp freshly grated ginger (or 1 tsp. powdered ginger)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced, any type (optional)
  • 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 TBSP rice vinegar or rice wine
  • 3 TBSP low-sodium soy sauce (more to taste)
  • 1 TBSP Sriracha sauce (more or less, depending on your heat tolerance)
  • Two 3 oz portions of Ramen (discard the flavor packets) rice vinegar

** For additional protein, you can add shredded chicken, tofu, roasted pork, or steak
Toppings:

  • Sliced scallions
  • Sesame seeds
  • Shredded carrots
  • Soft-boiled egg

Directions:

  1. Heat sesame oil and olive oil in a medium-large saucepan over moderate heat. Add garlic and ginger, and simmer until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Do not brown the garlic, or else you’ll get a bitter flavor.
  2. Add the carrots and mushrooms if you’re using them, and simmer until they soften, about a minute, stirring frequently.
  3. Add the broth, Sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir, and bring to a simmer; let it go for about five minutes. Taste, and adjust heat and taste to your liking by adding more Sriracha and soy sauce if needed.
  4. While the broth simmers, cook the Ramen noodles in a separate pot as per the package’s instructions. (You could cook the noodles in the broth directly, but that makes for a messy transfer to a bowl. It’s much easier to transfer drained cooked noodles to a bowl and spoon the broth over top.) Once the noodles are tender, drain and rinse under cool water, place into a soup bowl, and set aside.
  5. When the soup is ready, spoon the broth over the noodles. Allow to cool. At this point, make your soft-boiled egg if you’re garnishing with one, and add the rest of your toppings to serve.

Soft-Boiled Egg:
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the egg(s), and let them boil for five minutes. In the meantime, prepare an ice bath in a bowl. Once five minutes are up, remove the egg(s) and dunk them into the ice bath, or run under cold water, for about a minute to cool them off enough to handle. Then, lightly crack and roll them on a flat surface, peel, slice in half, and place on top of your Ramen.
Enjoy!
