Easy Homemade Ramen
Easy Homemade Ramen is super customizable with your favorite veggies and protein and is ready in just 20 minutes. The broth is a flavorful mixture of ginger, garlic, and soy sauce and is topped with a boiled egg and veggies.
When working on a big project at the end of last year, I developed a ramen recipe that I fell in love with. It was my first time making ramen and it was delicious! Since making it that day, I have made it many times for my family. It is so easy to make and super customizable based on what you have on hand. I am going to share some different options of what you can put in your Easy Homemade Ramen.
Ingredients in Easy Homemade Ramen
-Broth- I make my broth with either low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth, fresh ginger, garlic, soy sauce and rice vinegar.
-Noodles- I used udon noodles in the recipe but you can also use ramen noodles of course. This recipe is delicious but it is not super authentic.
-Broccoli- frozen or fresh work great
-Mushrooms
-Grated carrot
-Chopped green onion- provides lots of flavor
-Soft boiled eggs- fully cooked boiled eggs work well too
Easy Homemade Ramen Topping Options
The broth is a flavorful mixture of vegetable broth, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce that is perfect with the sautéed mushrooms and broccoli. Every time I have a soup with a simple chicken or vegetable broth now, I add ginger, garlic and soy sauce for more flavor. It transforms the soup in just a couple of minutes to a flavor packed rich broth. So good!
The udon noodles were fantastic in this ramen! They are thick and chewy and perfect for this recipe. I used fully cooked udon noodles to save time but you certainly can cook your own. My husband and I loved this soup for lunch one afternoon.
