Shoyu Ramen
I love this "cheater" way of making shoyu ramen. It takes minutes to make instead of hours (or days) and tastes just as delicious!

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
- 2 cups ramen broth (found near the other soup bases/broths at the grocery store, see notes above)
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 6 ounces dry ramen or chukamen noodles (2 3-ounce packages, see notes above)
- ramen toppings (see notes above)
Instructions
- Sauté garlic and ginger in sesame oil in a large saucepan until fragrant. Add ramen broth and soy sauce and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Strain broth through a fine mesh strainer into a large liquid measuring cup or bowl to remove garlic and ginger bits. Pour broth back into the saucepan and discard garlic/ginger pieces. Keep broth at a low simmer until ready to serve.
- Prepare ramen or chukamen noodles according to package directions (discard flavor packets if any). Drain noodles and set aside. Prepare your desired toppings (see above for ideas).
- Place broth in individual bowls and divide noodles between the bowls. Top with your favorite protein and vegetable toppings and serve.
