Low Country Ramen Noodles image

Whether you remember eating ramen in college or enjoy slurping down a bowl at a noodle shop, you're going to love my version-with a Low Country twist, of course. I add sauteed collards and shrimp to make it anything but basic. If you're feeling a little "extra," you can add a 6-minute boiled egg to the top, too.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons canola oil
4 large carrots, shredded (2 cups)
2 cups sliced thinly collard greens
8 cloves garlic, minced
Two 32-ounce cartons low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
4 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce
Four 3-ounce packages instant ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
2 pounds medium/large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Sliced green onions, optional
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and collards and saute until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broth, ginger, soy sauce and chile-garlic sauce. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Add the noodles and shrimp. Cover and boil until the noodles are tender and the shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Ladle the soup among 6 bowls. Sprinkle each serving with the green onions, if using, and drizzle with the sesame oil. Serve immediately.
