This Ramen Noodle Bowl was a happy accident. I started buying the brown rice ramen noodles from Costco a couple of years ago. Then I tried using them but cooking them all wrong. I was frustrated. Once I started cooking them like the directions on the back say to, they were AMAZING! Here are the noodles that I use. One day, I decided to create a sauce. I had no idea what I was throwing together in my bowl, but it all sounded good. And it WAS good. The next time, I tried to make the same sauce. I have a terrible habit of not writing things down because I think I’ll remember it all. So… I made the sauce as I remembered it, and well… I added way too much hot sauce and it was a disaster. Finally, I decided to test it out, and actually write it down!
This ramen noodle bowl is so easy and fast to make. I make it with just veggies usually because it’s one of my go to meals for nights I have nothing planned. It comes together super fast, and has the most amazing taste. The sauce coats the noodles perfectly and before I realize it, my whole bowl is gone.
This recipe calls for broccoli, mushrooms and peppers, but really, you can use whatever you have in the fridge. I like my peppers and if using carrots, a bit crunchy, so I add peppers into the pan at the end. I usually add in my carrot strips as I’m tossing the noodles with the veggies so they are hot, but crunchy!
Tips!
- If the sauce is a bit too thick, just add a tiny bit of water to thin it out.
- Feel free to add in some tofu or other protein of your choice!
