Ramen Hacks

Instant ramen is a meal for the everyone. Whether you are time-poor, money-poor, or just plain hungry - ramen is always a winner for dinner.

We’ve put together a few suggestions for upgrading your ramen experience. We hope this sparks joy in you and your stomach!

Indomie mi goreng is always a good choice!

SPICE IT UP!

Sick of the same old flavor? Add any condiments you’ve hoarded in your pantry to spice up your meal!

Here are a few we suggest:

• soy sauce

• sesame oil

• sriracha

• lime juice

• fish sauce

• curry (any type)

Ginger, garlic, and spring onions are also a tasty treat to add if you have them.

Chuck Some Veggies In

If you have leftover veggies in your fridge, dice them up and throw them in the mix too! Extra points if you throw them in a pan beforehand and get them nice and crispy.

Although, if you don’t have any vegetables in the fridge, do not despair. A packet of frozen vegetables can always be found at a reasonable price in the shops. They even have ones tailored to ramen!

Frozen veggies last for 8-12 months so you can keep them in your fridge as a handy backup.

Add Some Protein

Eggs and tofu are both a great source of protein that will keep you full for longer.

• Drop a boiled egg into the broth

• Stir in scrambled eggs

• Put a fried egg on top

• Poach eggs in your ramen as it cooks

• Marinate tofu with some of the seasoning package from noodles. Cook in a frying pan until golden

Pack It With Peanut Butter

Sick of the same old flavour? Want to mix it up but don’t have a pantry full of spices? Well, peanut butter is your friend! Grab a spoonful and mix it through your ramen to make a delicious sesame-peanut butter sauce!

Psst - you can replace with tahini if you’re allergic to nuts.
