15-Minute Garlic Butter Ramen

Amp up packs of ramen with this easy, quick garlic butter ramen recipe - served meatless or with your choice of meat and hard-boiled eggs!

My entire family is obsessed with anime and manga. We watch anything and everything - and read it too! We particularly love Naruto and ramen is featured a lot in the original series (I have yet to watch Shippuden). So this means we have been trying a ton of ramen recipes lately. I think this one is not only the tastiest, but it's the easiest and I think it is everyone's favorite. I absolutely love it because it's buttery and garlicky with fresh ginger and zucchini. That's just plain heavenly if you ask me. Plus it has basil too! I mean this recipe was made for me, I tell you what! The original recipe does not have any meat, but when I first made this (I've made it a few times now and it's already on the meal plan for November), I decided to saute up some pork cut into strips in a little skillet while making the ramen. Yes, I did end up with another dirty pan, but it didn't take any longer to make the recipe and it was such a wonderful addition to it. I know we will eat this recipe often :)

Recipe from Half Baked Harvest

While the pictures are ugly (I will definitely have to remedy that asap), the recipe for these Garlic Beef & Broccoli Noodle Bowls is mouthwateringly awesome! It's another quick weeknight meal recipe that you will want on rotation. I really would love to try this Tonkotsu Ramen from Binging with Babish - who is one of my favorite food Youtubers (Foodtubers?).
