Ok I have a confession to make. Up until me trying this recipe, I didn’t like any other kind of ramen noodles except for the ones I grew up on, which in this case were called oddle noodles. Maybe my family was the only one that called them that, Idk.

I’ve tried ramen noodles from a Japanese restaurant a few years ago and remember immediately not liking it. And then one day a few weeks ago I saw this recipe from @TheMoodyFoody on Instagram and for whatever reason, I knew that this was going to hit right away. I was under the weather too and I didn’t want to eat a lot but still wanted something comforting. This creamy chili garlic ramen recipe was everything that I needed.

I think it was the creaminess that got me. Using Campbell’s cream of mushroom was perfect, but I also added some plant based heavy cream to this as well. I’ve been having fun recently trying vegan or vegetarian meals to add to my weekly menus and this one is definitely on it especially because it really took me less than 30 minutes to make.

I’m not usually a spicy girl but the chili garlic sauce really gives it the best kind of kick. My current style of cooking is follow the recipe but make it your own. I’ve grown confident in myself over the years in my ability to cook and can rely on my eyes and intuition to tell what I need for measuring. This is also my method of choice because I use less dishes this way.

Anyways, here’s the ingredients.

⁃ Ginger

⁃ Garlic

⁃ Sesame oil

⁃ Soy sauce

⁃ Chili garlic sauce

⁃ Vegetable broth

⁃ Cream of Mushroom

⁃ Plant based heavy cream

⁃ Ramen

⁃ Eggs (boiled)

⁃ Green onions

I used ramen made of millet and brown rice that I found at Whole Foods. I was very surprised at how good they tasted. I mean, they didn’t taste like healthy noodles at all. The next time I make this I’ll use more vegetable broth because it wasn’t soupy enough but this was still so perfect. I did a pretty good job if I say so myself but for a better breakdown from the creator, go check out @TheMoodyFoody.

Until next time,

Take Care.
