NB: This is a collaborative post with Panasonic.

My eldest son, who is a picky eater in many ways, absolutely loves ramen.

It never fails to amaze me that a child who won't eat a strawberry, carrot or apple will tuck into a spicy noodle soup with such gusto.

We've always tried to expose our kids to food from a variety of cultures and so he's eaten ramen at in restaurants a few times and he loves it.

Ramen is easy to make in the microwave

I often make ramen at home now as it's one of those rare meals that we all like but this is the first time I've made it in the microwave.

It was so easy to make - plus has the advantage of not using any oil - that I will be doing it time and time again.

The toppings can be served separately to the soup so all those spicy red chillies can be left off the children's portions!

Do you use your microwave a lot?

I use mine almost daily to reheat food and defrost things but I don't think I've exploited its potential for cooking from scratch.

How to make easy microwave ramen

  • This really is an easy recipe. There's a tiny bit of chopping involved and you'll need to boil the kettle to make some vegetable stock but apart from that the whole thing is done in the microwave.
  • The quantities below make a large portion for one adult so increase the quantities as desired to feed more.

      They are totally fine in a soup like this. I don't know how good they'd be on their own but they go nice and soft very quickly. Let me know what you think if you try it
