Gluten Free Ramen Chicken Soup with Eggs and Bean Sprouts

For the longest time I thought ramen was only sold in those 50 cent packs and was targeted specifically at broke college students who needed a snack while pre-gaming and chasing cheap vodka shots.

Boy was I wrong.

It took a 2 week backpacking trip (the beginning of a 2 year world backpacking trip) to Japan before I really understood the magic of true ramen.

Before my trip to Japan I knew I loved Japanese food, sushi, sashimi, sushi rolls, miso soup. That was pretty much all I knew.

And then I got there and discovered a whole world of Japanese cuisine outside of sushi.

It was soup, (which by now you should already know I love – hello vegan quinoa black bean pumpkin soup – here’s looking at you)

In Japan there were allย types of soup. So much soup. It was all I wanted. Soup every day, soup every way. It was there that I uncovered my love for ramen. Ramen is it’s category of noodle and soup in Japan.

It is appreciated and embraced by all. The broth is rich and deep with a full variety of toppings and those silky, long, noodles. Another great thing about Japanese culture – they encourage loud slurping while eating.

It’s not rude there. It’s a compliment. Why eat quietly when you can display your enthusiasm for your meal with a loud slurp. No problems picking up that habit.

And to think all these years I’ve been actively trying to eat silently. I could have been loudly slurping in Japan all along.

Gluten Free Ramen Chicken Soup

 

Now this is not a traditional ramen soup recipe, but is my own take on this magical dish. To add flavor in my gluten free ramen recipe, I used red curry paste, shrimp paste and cashew butter. Now I know shrimp paste is an unusual ingredients (and one that can be a bit pungent) so if you don’t like it or can’t get your hands on it, just add a bit more curry paste (being careful not to add too much if yours is spicy – which is brand dependent).

Same thing with the fish sauce — another strongly smelly ingredient that brings a whole world of flavor but can be easily substituted with gluten free tamari.

Overall the soup in my gluten free ramen recipe has a little bit of everything. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful with crunchy sugar snap peas, meaty ground chicken, silky noodles, runny creamy eggs, crispy bean sprouts and fresh zesty lime juice and cilantro.

This gluten free ramen chicken soup is aย full meal in one.

Yes, you may have to dirty a few pots and pans but for a soup like this it’s totally worth it.

For the best gluten free ramen noodles out there definitely get your hands on the Lotus Foods Rice Ramen. You can find this in stores like Wegman’s or Whole Foods, or purchase online. If you can’t find this product, feel free to use regular rice noodles – it’s not exactly that ramen noodle texture but it will still do!
