Quick Homemade Chicken Ramen

Ramen

Ramen is the the new food craze– the big thing around town! These places are popping up all over the place! But why go out when you can make it just as easily at home? This Quick Homemade Chicken Ramen seriously takes about 15 minutes to make.

What is Ramen anyway? (Besides the packaged noodles we remember from our college dorm rooms.)

It’s simply noodles in a delicious broth with some vegetables and some meat (or not if you’re vegetarian). Simple. Straightforward. Healthy. EASY.

Garlic and Ginger

It’s no secret that garlic and ginger are a match made in heaven. So the perfect way to start this chicken ramen is some Chef Shamy Garlic Butter and some fresh ginger. All of the other ingredients you add will soak up those delicious flavors, and the whole dish is perfectly balanced and delicious.

Making Things Easy

This recipe calls for rotisserie chicken, just to make things easy. If you want to make your own chicken and shred it up, do it! It’s all about making this an easy dinner.

We’re using the cheap ramen. If you’d rather find some different, more authentic Asian noodle, go for it. Even make your own, if you’re in the mood!

Also, we bought matchstick carrots, rather than grating our own. And we bought sliced mushrooms as well! There’s no shame in trying to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible!

Your family will love this quick and filling meal!

Enjoy!
