Homemade Microwave Ramen in a Mug
Description
This recipe arranges a few strands of ramen noodles with frozen mixed vegetables in a mug filled with chicken or vegetable stock, flavored with soy sauce-like amino acids and a bit of chili sauce for spice. Green onions are sliced on top to add mild onion flavor and color. The noodles are broken up to fit inside the mug.
Microwaving for 2 to 2.5 minutes softens the noodles and heats the vegetables through, yielding a savory, mildly spicy broth with tender noodles and bits of vegetables. The timing depends on the microwave wattage and the quantity of ingredients used but generally cooks quickly.
Serving directly from the mug is convenient for on-the-go enjoyment or quick comfort food. Additional seasonings like sesame seeds or extra chili sauce can be added after cooking for more flavor customization.
The note mentions pouring the hot ramen into an insulated container for keeping warm for hours, making it suitable for taking to school or work.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken stock (or veg stock)
- ramen noodles ¼ portion, a few strands
- 2 tablespoons mixed vegetables frozen
- 2 teaspoons amino acids (or soy sauce)
- ½ teaspoons chili sauce

Notes
- Use a large microwave-safe mug to prevent boiling over as the stock bubbles up during cooking.
- Break ramen noodles into smaller pieces so they fit comfortably in the mug.
- Adjust microwave time based on your microwave's power for desired noodle tenderness.
- After cooking, transfer the hot ramen soup to a thermos or insulated container to keep it warm for hours.
