My Mathew babe was super overwhelmed with work this past weekend, so I was trying to be super-girlfriend-extraordinaire and take care of all the nuisance things that life throws our way so he could focus solely on crushing through some work.

I didn’t really want to cook, but I also didn’t want to spend a fortune on both calories and dollars to get some takeout. So, I did what any technologically dependent human in the 21st century would do, stood in the middle of the grocery store and googled, “easy cheap and quick one-pot meals.” It’s how I stumbled upon this garlic ginger ramen recipe.

The ingredients were straightforward enough, it was also like -35 degrees Celsius outside so it was the perfect fit. Not to mention, I have to try new recipes for my 28×29 list. Double-win!

Overall, the recipe was pretty good. I left the mushrooms out as I’m definitely not a fan. It tasted like it might have been missing a little something, but I never could figure it out (maybe it was those mushrooms…)  It would have been nicer to have the flavours simmer for longer, but we were hungry.

I’d definitely make it again. 

Recipe win.
