Easy Homemade Ramen Bowls are a quick and cozy meal featuring a savory broth, chewy noodles, and customizable toppings like soft-boiled eggs, vegetables, and proteins. Perfect for weeknights, these bowls bring comfort and big flavor without takeout.

Ingredients

  • 2 packs instant or fresh ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or button)
  • 1 cup baby spinach or chopped bok choy
  • 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 eggs
  • Optional toppings: sriracha, sesame seeds, nori strips, cooked chicken, tofu

Instructions

  1. Soft boil the eggs by boiling them for 6–7 minutes, then transferring to an ice bath. Peel and set aside.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add mushrooms and carrots. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until tender.
  5. Meanwhile, cook ramen noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  6. Stir spinach or bok choy into the broth until wilted.
  7. Assemble bowls: divide noodles into bowls, ladle broth and vegetables over, and top with halved eggs, green onions, and optional toppings.

Notes

  • Use miso or dashi base for a deeper umami flavor.
  • Add chili paste or sriracha for heat.
  • Swap meat with tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Add peanut butter or coconut milk for a richer broth.
  • Include toppings like corn, bamboo shoots, or bean sprouts for texture.
