Ingredients

  • 8 oz ramen noodles the base of the dish, providing that classic chewy texture
  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp honey adds natural sweetness to balance the savory elements
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce delivers umami depth and saltiness
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil for a toasty, nutty aroma and flavor
  • 2 cups vegetable broth forms the flavorful base of the ramen soup
  • 1 cup broccoli florets adds crunch and vibrant green color
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • sesame seeds for garnish, optional

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

  • Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp if needed, then mince the garlic, slice the green onions, and julienne the carrot. Have your broccoli florets ready to go so everything cooks quickly once you start.

Step 2: Cook the Ramen Noodles

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes). Drain and set aside. Keep the noodles from sticking by tossing them with a tiny drizzle of sesame oil if desired.

Step 3: Make the Honey Garlic Sauce and Cook Shrimp

  • Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the honey and soy sauce, letting it bubble gently to combine. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through, coating them in the sauce as they cook.

Step 4: Add Vegetables and Broth

  • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the broccoli florets and julienned carrots. Let everything cook together until the veggies are tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5: Combine Noodles and Finish

  • Add the cooked ramen noodles directly into the skillet with the shrimp and vegetables. Toss gently to combine and soak up the broth and sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  • Divide the ramen into bowls, garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
