Let’s talk about how awesome it is to eat this simple, cheap, ramen noodles that cost close to nothing.

After years, ramen is still every college student’s go-to meal. They’re convenient, cheap and delicious.

I love ramen because it reminds me of my childhood, of rainy days when we gathered around in my uncle’s house eating ramen with a handful of bean sprouts.

We’re not in college anymore so let’s make a little extra effort and make this ramen noodles just a bit more sophisticated! In this recipe, we are taking shortcuts by making a quick broth to suit our needs rather than the traditional way of making Japanese ramen broth.

This is definitely my ideal kind of ramen. You’ll love this quick ramen (instant pot) version because it’s still convenient yet more sophisticated but still has the distinct comfort of your college years.

Next level ramen with chicken, spinach, mushrooms and a satisfying chicken broth. So comforting and delicious!

This ramen features:

• a quick broth: chicken broth, soy sauce, apple vinegar, curry paste, chili oil.

• toppings: shredded chicken, mushrooms, spinach, eggs, carrots. The choice is yours!

All of this deliciousness is coming together in less than an hour. Win win!

Some Notes for this recipe:

Boil noodles separate from the broth and toss them with sesame oil. Boiling noodles in the broth will results in mushy, gummy noodles, not the way we want our best ramen to be. Cook the noodles, drain under cold water just right before serving.

Use less sodium chicken broth. That way you can adjust the broth according to your preference.

You can omit chili oil if you can’t locate this ingredient anywhere, but it should be available in any Asian grocery store.

Slurp up my friends!
