How to Prepare Ramen Noodle Soup
🍜 First, simmer chicken (your choice of thigh or breast) with carrots, onions, and celery in a savory broth, then add boiled ramen noodles for a meal that’s ready in no time. 🌶️ For those who crave a little extra kick, a drizzle of sriracha adds a hint of spice.

Variations and Substitutions
Are you ready to take your humble ramen packet to new heights? I’m here to guide you through a world of flavorful possibilities where you can tailor this classic dish to your preferences or dietary needs. Let’s explore variations and substitutions to put your personal spin on this beloved comfort food.
If you’re gluten-free, you can use gluten-free Japanese ramen noodles or rice stick noodles (like the variety used in Vietnamese pho) instead of traditional ramen. For a vegan option, replace the chicken 🍗 with your favorite plant-based protein, such as tempeh, seitan, or tofu. Any kind of unsalted broth or stock will work for this ramen: chicken, vegetable, beef, etc. Consider serving this with a soft-boiled egg 🥚 on top for an extra serving of protein or fresh bean sprouts for a satisfying crunch. Italian or Chinese chili oil can also be used instead of Sriracha. If you prefer a milder dish, leave it out completely.
