Recipes — ramen

With six simple ingredients and a quick 20 minutes you could have a deluxe bowl of food! 

Let me tell you, this recipe did NOT disappoint. I made it twice last weekend by request from the hungry bellies in this house so you know it’s goooood. This recipe is also one of the quickest toss-together meals I’ve ever made. Keeping this dish top of mind for when I want to keep meal time flavorful but simple. 

We live in a bit of a food desert. Don’t get me wrong, there’s EVERY fast-food chain you can think of within reach but not many cultural options or mom&pop shops so we choose to dine-in for takeout. I’d researched some ramen recipes and adapted one that fit the flavors and preferences of our house. I added guajillos because we love spice, I removed the curry and made it less soupy/more saucy etc. Recipes are meant to be a guideline. They can help teach you the basics and once you’ve mastered certain flavors or techniques, you can go off script to make it the perfect dish for YOU.

Hardest part about being on the road (for over a month) is being away from my kitchen. I may have traveled with my meat thermometer because why GUESS if something is cooked juuuust right when you can KNOW. Sadly, I didn’t have room in my luggage for my Ninja Foodi. If I could suggest every Airbnb and hotel around the world make that a standard amenity that would make travel a million times easier for me. Too dramatic? This is another homerun-hit from @halfbakedharvest ..whenever I’m in a creative lull I flip through the pages of her years of content and know I’m bound to find something I’ll enjoy cooking and the #wellfedfraser will enjoy eating.
