Easy Ramen Chicken Broth Base

If you want restaurant quality ramen at home, start with this easy ramen chicken broth base.

Ramen was probably one of my favorite comfort foods as a kid. But as I have started to cutting processed foods out of my diet, the packaged ramen I used to frequently eat has become much less desirable. I still love to sit down to a warm bowl of ramen though, so I have learned to make a quick and easy ramen out of the more wholesome ingredients that I keep around my house.

Can I Just Use Chicken Broth For Ramen?

You can just use chicken broth or bouillon for ramen, but in order to give it more depth of flavor similar to a restaurant style ramen it is important to add additional ingredients. I find that some soy sauce, a little vinegar, ginger, and garlic enhance the broth to make it perfect for a delicious ramen.
