How to: Family Friendly Ramen Bowl Recipe
Ramen bowls are trending hard right now and rightly so. They are quick, easy and budget friendly meals that can smash leftovers and just as easily feed the troops on a busy weekday evening or be pared back for a perfectly sized meal for one.
I wanted to make the family roast chicken stretch for two meals so reimagined our leftovers into this delicious Chicken Ramen Bowl for two that became a very generous lunch for Dave and I the next day.
The beauty of this traditional Japanese dish is that it’s a really easy way to eat a balanced meal. By combining fresh veges and lean protein with pantry staple MAGGI 2 Minute Noodles (now with invisible wholegrain!) a delicious meal is never too far from the table.
This is going to be good!
