Ingredients
  

Noodles and Broth
  • 1 pack Ramen noodles Opt for your favorite brand – fresh or dried will work.
  • 4 cups Chicken, vegetable or miso broth Use any of these types for a rich flavor base.
Creamy Base
  • 1 cup Heavy cream Substitute with coconut milk for a lighter version.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce Use low-sodium if watching your salt intake.
Aromatics
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Adds aromatic flavor.
  • 1 inch Fresh ginger, minced Elevates the dish with aromatic notes.
Vegetables
  • 2 cups Mixed vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, or green onions) Customize with your favorite choices.
Protein
  • 1 cup Tofu, chicken, or shrimp Choose your preferred protein option.
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon Chili paste Add for a spicy kick if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a separate pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Cooking
  1. Pour in the broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce, allowing the creamy mixture to blend.
  2. Toss in your choice of vegetables, letting them soften in the broth for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the cooked ramen noodles to the pot, stirring until everything is well combined.
  4. If using pre-cooked chicken or shrimp, add it now. For tofu, let it warm through for a couple of minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or chili paste, if desired. Ladle into bowls and garnish with green onions.

Notes

Leftover creamy ramen can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of broth over low heat and stir until warmed through. For meal prep, chop vegetables and protein in advance.
