Ramen Noodles make a frequent appearance on my dinner table, including Veggie Ramen Noodle Stir Fry with Tempeh and Poached Egg, Ramen Glow Bowl with Miso Tahini Dressing, and Kimchi Ramen Noodle Soup.

I’m going to start this post by saying that I have so much to say about these amazing, delicious, addicting miso ramen noodles. OH. MY. GOSH. So much. I’m actually having a hard time focusing because I don’t want to mess this up. You know, no pressure.

So, let’s start at the beginning.

Ramen Noodles (more on these below)
Zucchini noodles
Garlic
Ginger
Miso paste
Soy sauce
Green onion
Eggs
Red chili flakes

That is pretty much the gist of it. Of course, you can always add other veggies (like bell pepper, carrot, broccoli) or other protein sources (tofu, chicken, shrimp), but, to be totally honest, the whole point of these ginger garlic noodles is to keep life simple.

Simple is good. Right? Maybe not all the time or for all occasions, but simple is as simple does annnnnd, well, that’s my fav movie, so that’s that.

Are Ramen Noodles Bad for you?

The kind of ramen noodles that you purchase in a styrofoam cup or as a deal buy 1 get 3 FREE, yeah, that’s the bad stuff. There is nothing good there.

But, not all ramen is created equal.

So, my advice (full disclosure- I am not a doctor or health expert, just a regular person that believes in balanced eating) read the label. What are the ingredients? And never include the seasoning packet.

Like, never.

Here are some brands I trust, use, and feed to my own family-

KOYO– if they’re sold out of the plain stuff, that’s ok. They’re “flavored” ramen has the same noodles just be sure to ditch the seasoning packet.
HAKUBAKU– they are prob my fav brand for all things Asian noodles. Sure, the Ramen is squiggly, but the quality is top shelf.
LOTUS FOODS– one of my other favs. I actually have this pack of 10 in my pantry and have tried all three varieties. One thing to note- since these are not “traditional” rice noodles and are gluten-free, they get soggy fast. So do NOT over boil. Just don’t.

Why Would I want to add Zucchini Noodles?

To be fair, you may not want to add zucchini noodles at all, and that is totally up to you. However, when I cook, I always try to think of new ways to incorporate more vegetables into my diet, and zucchini noodles make it so darn easy. Also…

Zucchini is super healthy.
Happily absorbs the flavor of the dish without contributing much of its own.
Low in calories.
When spiralized, zucchini even looks a little like ramen noodles (not important at all).
