Hi Bold Bakers! When I think of dorm living and what students eat I think about the dried packs of $1 Ramen with “chicken seasoning” inside. Now, I too ate my fair share of noodles while in college simply because they are cheap, filling and easy. I’m going to side step the fact that I was in culinary school at the time and still chose to eat the store bought noodles. But that all led me to create this Homemade Microwave Ramen in a Mug recipe! Already have an account? My Homemade Ramen is made with a handful of ingredients that are basics in most kitchens and staples in dorm kitchens, like noodles, frozen veg, soy sauce etc. I bet if you check your cupboard right now you have at least 4 out of 6 of the ingreidents. If you have a child or friend in college who lives on store bought ramen do them a solid and share this recipe with them so they know how to make microwave ramen. They will thank you, especially when they don’t gain the freshman 15 because they made their own meals. Check out my other New Mug Meals for Back to School including Nutella Mug Brownie, a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich in a Mug, Savory French Toast, and a Cheese & Broccoli Rice Bowl. My Microwave Mug Meals are real food fast!
This Microwave Homemade Ramen is real food fast, not fast food. It is so satisfying to eat something you made that is made with good ingredients.
Microwave the Ramen until the noodles are firm and fully cooked. Feel free to add more seasonings once cooked like fish sauce, more soy sauce etc. The soup is very forgiving, you can get really creative with your ingredients and flavors here.
