Ramen was a comfort food for me growing up. My father drew on recipes he learned while living in Korea for two years and often made it for our Saturday afternoon lunch.
Now, when my teens are tired of their usual comfort foods (hot dogs, mac and cheese, and pizza bites) I follow my dad’s example and pull out ramen recipes, too. My kids love it!
Ramen can be an excellent choice for households and easy recipes for college students pinching pennies, and simply adding a few inexpensive ingredients can elevate brand recipes from basic to drool-worthy.
