Who hasn’t heard about Ramen? These grab n’ go pre-packaged noodles have long been a college staple and common household item; with crumpled wrappings found under beds, cupboards and its seasoning packets stored in fridge doors or kitchen drawers. Although available in a variety of flavors (beef, creamy chicken, lime shrimp, oriental), the overall taste can be a bit monotone. With this recipe you can enjoy an Asian-inspired meal with levels of flavor in less than 20 minutes! Remember to mix n’ match with your favorite vegetables and garnishes.
