Notes
*If wanting to make homemade ramen instead of using instant ramen, cook noodles according to directions, but instead of adding seasoning packet at end, drain half the water out and add 1/4 cup chicken broth. Add as much as the following as desired: garlic salt, onion powder, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. If you want other ideas on how to spice up your ramen, click here.
