About the recipe
On week days, I like to use shortcuts. This ramen noodle bowl is a must in my household as it only uses one pot and can be ready in less than 30 minutes, including cutting the vegetables! It’s also very inexpensive to make, ideal for students or anyone on a budget!
Jump to RecipeThe ingredients
Believe it or not, bur ramen quickly became a staple in my pantry. The point is to load them with quality protein and tons of vegetables! I also used one of the packets to season the chicken.
You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand. I used mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots and cabbage.
As for protein, I used chicken thighs. They are not as lean as chicken breasts, but they are more flavourful and cost less.
The steps
This ramen noodle bowl recipe is done in one pot, which makes it even easier for weeknight meals.
Here’s how to make them:
- Sauté onions.
- Add the chicken to cook.
- Add vegetables, from the hardest to the softest, to keep them crispy, then add the sauce.
- Push the veggies and chicken to the side, and add your ramen noodles and water.
- Garnish with cabbage, green onions and sesame seeds.
Recipe variations
This one-pot ramen noodle is very versatile. Here are some changes you can make:
- Change the protein. Chicken, beef, shrimp, any of these would be delicious.
- Make it vegan by using tofu or edamame.
- Make it gluten-free by using rice noodles instead of ramen noodles.
- Switch up the vegetables. Use frozen vegetables, or whatever veggies you have on hand.
