Shoyu Ramen

I love this "cheater" way of making shoyu ramen. It takes minutes to make instead of hours (or days) and tastes just as delicious!

1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
2 cups ramen broth (found near the other soup bases/broths at the grocery store, see notes above)
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
6 ounces dry ramen or chukamen noodles (2 3-ounce packages, see notes above)
ramen toppings (see notes above)

Sauté garlic and ginger in sesame oil in a large saucepan until fragrant. Add ramen broth and soy sauce and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
Strain broth through a fine mesh strainer into a large liquid measuring cup or bowl to remove garlic and ginger bits. Pour broth back into the saucepan and discard garlic/ginger pieces. Keep broth at a low simmer until ready to serve.
Prepare ramen or chukamen noodles according to package directions (discard flavor packets if any). Drain noodles and set aside. Prepare your desired toppings (see above for ideas).
Place broth in individual bowls and divide noodles between the bowls. Top with your favorite protein and vegetable toppings and serve.
