Ditch that seasoning packet of your instant noodles and make this Sriracha Ramen Noodle Soup instead. It is very comforting and delicious.
Another answer to a craving.
I think that’s always the start of my food posts, yes?
So I’ve been into Korean drama recently and I always see ramen in most of the episodes. Whenever I see the actors/actresses eating ramen, my craving becomes stronger and stronger. Well, you know how naughty I am when it comes to my eating habits… and I confess that I always keep instant/cup noodles with me. You know, anytime I arrive at home starving, I can eat something. Instant fried noodles or noodle soup – I always have them. Don’t judge. 😀
To satisfy the craving, I decided to make myself a ramen noodle soup by adding Sriracha and used vegetable broth, and I also discarded its seasoning packets. I am not sure if it is healthier that way, but hey, I don’t eat this everyday. And let’s not talk about healthy stuff right now. 😀
I really loved how this turned out – delicious, filling and comforting with just enough spiciness from the Sriracha.
You can add toppings or mix-ins you like but I love spring onions, coriander, corn kernel, poached eggs and I add cooked squid balls, too.
I am taking this delicious soup to Fiesta Friday #157 to warm your cold days or to make your warm days warmer. 😛 This week’s FF party is co-hosted by Su and Andrea. Of course, thanks to you, Angie.
I hope you can try the recipe and let me know. I’ve shared a video on my YouTube channel. Please don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe. See you there! 😉

Put back the mixture to the pot and then turn on the heat to medium-high.

Serve with spring onions, coriander, and poached (or boiled) eggs. You can add whatever toppings or mix-ins you fancy. I always love my noodles with corn kernels.
Recipe Notes
Instead of water + vegetable cubes, you can use homemade or store-bought vegetable broth.
You can start with 1 tbsp of Sriracha. I used 2 tbsp & it has just enough spiciness for me.
