This Japanese-inspired vegetarian ramen is an extremely simplified version of the classic. This cozy-night-in staple can be made in under a half an hour. Filled with tons of fresh veggies (use whatever you have!) swimming in a rich garlic and ginger broth and tender ramen noodles, I promise you'll be slurping every last drop.
