While Top Ramen shouldn’t be so good, it just IS. I’m not sure what makes that 25 cent bag so delicious. Well, it’s probably the sodium and whatnot, but I still love it. I know that I can’t eat it all the time though. I’m not in college and I know the difference between soup that is good for my diet and soup that isn’t. Darn it – growing up can be so hard! I was wrong, Homemade Top Ramen is wayyyyy easier (and healthier) to make than I ever could imagined.

When I first started thinking….
What if I could make a homemade Top Ramen? One that I wouldn’t feel bad eating? One that I could even serve to my family and know that it didn’t come from a small square bag! My only stipulation was that it needed to taste just like the Top Ramen I’ve always eaten AND it had to be quick & easy to make. With those two goals in mind, I set out to conquer a homemade Top Ramen recipe.

You guys – I had no idea it was SO SIMPLE to make from scratch!!! The easiest ramen you will ever make in less than 30 min from start to finish. And it’s so much tastier (and healthier) than the store-bought version!

For Homemade Top Ramen you will need:

This is the beef flavor stock cube I use (found in the Asian food isle at the grocery store)

This is the 16 oz package of chow mein stir-fry noodles I use (also found in the Asian food isle at the grocery store)

It comes out looking and tasting JUST like the good old Top Ramen in the square bag! But, it is safe to say that this homemade version is slightly healthier:) It makes your kitchen smell yummy and gets the family excited! Add whatever you want to the top or eat it as is. You can’t go wrong!
