Microwave Homemade Ramen

Recipe Description

Looking for a delicious and easy way to upgrade your store-bought ramen packets? This Microwave Homemade Ramen recipe fits the bill perfectly. It is made with chicken or vegetable stock, ramen noodles, frozen mixed veggies and flavored with soy sauce and a spicy punch of chili sauce. This easy recipe comes together in a snap yet delivers big on flavor.  

Add all of the ingredients to a large microwave-safe mug. I like to use either store-bought vegetable or chicken stock, but you could also use homemade stock. Microwave on high power for 2 to 2 ½ minutes until the noodles are tender. Remove from the microwave carefully, garnish with toasted sesame seeds, and serve. This recipe was tested in a 1200 watts microwave, so adjust cooking times to suit your microwave.    

To make the Microwave Homemade Ramen, you will need the following ingredients:

Whoa, this Microwave Homemade Ramen is a game-changer! Seriously, I whipped it up in no time and it tasted better than my fancy restaurant soup! Threw in some leftover chicken and it was bomb! Perfect for a chill night in or when I’m just too lazy to cook. 10/10 would recommend!
