Low Country Ramen Noodles

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 6 servings
  • Total: 30 min
  • Active: 20 min
Whether you remember eating ramen in college or enjoy slurping down a bowl at a noodle shop, you're going to love my version—with a Low Country twist, of course. I add sauteed collards and shrimp to make it anything but basic. If you're feeling a little "extra," you can add a 6-minute boiled egg to the top, too.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons canola oil

4 large carrots, shredded (2 cups) 

2 cups sliced thinly collard greens 

8 cloves garlic, minced 

Two 32-ounce cartons low-sodium chicken broth 

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger 

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 

4 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce 

Four 3-ounce packages instant ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded) 

2 pounds medium/large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined 

Sliced green onions, optional 

2 teaspoons sesame oil 

Directions

  1. Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and collards and saute until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broth, ginger, soy sauce and chile-garlic sauce. Cover and bring to a boil.
  2. Add the noodles and shrimp. Cover and boil until the noodles are tender and the shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Ladle the soup among 6 bowls. Sprinkle each serving with the green onions, if using, and drizzle with the sesame oil. Serve immediately.

Quick, easy and delicious. I substituted spinach for collard greens. I’ll be making this again.
