Homemade Shrimp Ramen

Add any leftover Easter eggs to ramen. Homemade ramen has a better taste, and it is much healthier compared to the boxed one. Store bought ramen is full of sodium, preservatives and sometimes contains MSG. Also, most boxed ramen doesn’t contain any vegetables. If it does, they are in powdered form, which means that they were processed and lost their nutritional value. When you cook at home you are in control of the sodium and spice level. The broth of the homemade ramen has natural umami flavor that comes from real ingredients. Recipe link here.
