My Kitchen Secrets

Mix up your mushrooms for amazing flavor. I love using fresh ramen noodles when I can find them. Want more crunch? Add your carrots right at the end. A splash of mirin or spoonful of miso makes the broth even better.

Perfect Pairings

We love having this with some crispy spring rolls on the side. Steamed edamame makes a great starter. Pour yourself some cold green tea to make it feel like a real ramen shop experience.

Saving It For Later

Pop leftovers in the fridge they'll stay good for 3 days. When reheating add a splash of broth to keep everything nice and soupy. Want to freeze it? Make the broth and veggies but save the noodles for later.

Switch It Up

Love it spicy? Add some chili oil or gochujang. Need protein? Throw in some tofu chicken or shrimp. Making it vegan? Just double check your noodles and soy sauce are plant based.
