Ramen in a Hurry
Full disclosure – is not an authentic ramen dish. Traditional ramen has a broth so rich and so flavourful that you’ll hear angels sing with the first slurp. This is not that kind of ramen, but it takes less than 10 minutes and it is pretty darn tasty.
All you need is a package of university-style Ramen (discard the seasoning packet), a handful of fresh veggies, a few pantry staples and a kettle. Pack everything up the night before to bring to work and then just top up with boiling water when hunger strikes!
