Ramen with Veggies

Sometimes I just want something that fast and easy and cheap.  And that’s when I make this vegetable packed ramen.  It’s actually pretty good and you can use up whatever veggies you have left over from other meals.  Here’s what I do…

Ingredients:

• Whatever veggies you have around your house! I am using onions, mushrooms, zucchini and bell peppers
•  Minced Garlic
• Crushed tomatoes (two boxes for a full pot)
• 6 packs of vegetable ramen
• Your favorite seasoning, I am using curry powder

Step 1: Add your veggies and a big spoon full of garlic.  I usually use onions, mushrooms, zucchini and bell peppers… but if you have other things laying around, add them in!  

Step 2: Add some water, don’t cover the vegetables but add a couple cups of water.  Then cover the pot and turn it on high.  The vegetables will steam/boil.  This will take a few minutes 

Step 3: Add in a heaping spoonful of your favorite seasoning.  I usually go for some type of curry powder

Step 4:  Add in crushed tomatoes.  I usually use 2x 500g boxes when I’m making a full pot.  

Step 5: Add in some vegetable ramen.  I usually use 6 packs to make a full pot.  I also usually add in the seasoning packets that come with the ramen…. though that can sometimes make it quite salty.  If you need to add a little water to cover these, do it now.  More for a soupy ramen, less for a noodley ramen.

Step 6: Boil it for 3-5 mins, whatever the package says.  

Step 7: Enjoy your super easy meal!
