Ah, ramen. The most comfort food of all comfort foods. A big, steaming bowl chockfull of noodles, tender meat, and veggies is a meal we could get behind every night. Every bite is a cacophony of rich flavors, and the texture is always satisfyingly soft with a hint of crunch here and there. The best part about a ramen dish, though, is how easily customizable it is. You can really play around with the ingredients you have around the house to craft a hearty soup that truly feels like a hug. Maybe you like it hot. Maybe some added sweetness is the route you take. Either way, ramen is a lot easier to make at home than you may think. Find an easy ramen recipe that speaks to you from the picks below, and get ready to devour!
