Gluten Free Ramen in 15 minutes

When you are looking for a quick yet healthy meal, look no further than this gluten-free ramen in 15 minutes or less. Additionally, you could serve it with Quick and Tangy Korean Turkey for a more robust meal.

There are those days when I just want something that is quick to eat, but that contains some good and healthy ingredients. This gluten-free ramen is the answer. I always have the ingredients on hand thanks to my food storage and the fact that I always keep frozen chopped veggies ready to go — especially green onions.

Gather your ingredients because this one is quick! The two most important items to have are gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free ramen noodles. I buy my gluten-free soy sauce at my local grocery store. The La Choy brand is naturally gluten-free and is my personal preference. If you can’t find it in your grocery store it is also available online.

The same is true for gluten-free ramen noodles. I buy Millet and Brown Rice Ramen from Lotus Foods in bulk at my local Costco. I don’t like the sauce packet included, it is just too spicy for me, so we are going to create our own set of spices. You can also find this ramen at your grocery store, Target, and specialty food stores like Whole Foods and Fresh Thyme. Costco has the best price by far. These noodles store for years, so it is OK to stock up and keep them in your food storage.

Not pictured is Swanson Chicken Broth. I think it’s the best stuff out there and for me it makes the ramen taste more authentic and have a deeper flavor. If you prefer another chicken broth, just be aware it may change the flavor of the final result.

Now that we have soy sauce and ramen noodles, gather the rest of the ingredients. Open the chicken broth and pour it into a medium saucepan. Bring it to a rolling boil. While the broth boils, prepare your egg by whisking it in a bowl.

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and Lawry’s to the boiling water. As the water continues to boil, slowly drizzle in the egg. Stir in one direction as the egg is added. Let boil for one minute.

Add one noodle block (I prefer to smash mine into small pieces before adding it). Let the entire mixture sit on a low boil for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Add in any frozen veggies, especially frozen green onion pieces.

Pour into a bowl and let it sit for just a few minutes — mainly so you don’t burn your tongue on that hot soup! If you are looking for some bread to serve alongside, Soft and Buttery Dinner Rolls are a great option to keep in the freezer for those days you need a quick side dish.

And if you have decided that Ramen isn’t the way to go today, breakfast for dinner is always a good idea. Try these protein pancakes for another quick meal any time of the day.
