- 2 cloves garlic (chopped) Sauté until fragrant.

Main ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh shrimp (peeled and deveined) You can substitute with chicken or tofu.
- 8 ounces ramen noodles (fresh or dried) Follow package instructions for cooking time.
- 1 cup vegetables (like bok choy, spinach, or bell peppers) Customize based on your preference.
- 2 scallions sliced For garnish.
- 1 lime wedge For a zesty finish.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and ginger, allowing them to sauté until fragrant.
- Pour in the broth of choice, followed by soy sauce and a generous spoonful of chili paste. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cooking
- While the broth simmers, cook your ramen noodles according to package instructions.
- Once the broth is simmering, toss in the shrimp. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- If you’re adding other vegetables, throw them in at this stage for a quick cook.
- Drain your noodles and place them in serving bowls. Ladle the spicy broth with shrimp and veggies over the noodles, ensuring everyone gets a bit of everything.
- Top with sliced scallions and a wedge of lime. Add more chili oil if you crave extra heat.
Notes
Adjust the spice level by adding more chili paste or oil. Letting your broth simmer longer will deepen the flavors. Store leftovers by separating noodles, broth, and shrimp.
