TikTok Ramen

TikTok Ramen I did a poll on Instagram and the vote was "yes" for turning this TikTok Ramen into a blog. I'm not a huge fan of ramen noodles and never have been, but the spicy, sweet, and salty flavors combined together made this an extremely unique and fun meal.  Flavors consisted of soy sauce and garlic powder, everything but the bagel seasoning adding a hint of salt, crushed red peppers added spice, and an egg made it like a fried rice in a bowl. Jace rated his a 9/10. I initially rated mine a 7/10 and once I added an extra tablespoon of soy sauce, it bumped up to an 8/10. •  Difficulty Level:   Easy  •   Serving size: 2  servings •  Total cook time:   15-20 minutes •  Family friendly:   Yes!

I don't like my son having ramen often but we bo...

Because of that, I used turkey kielbasa as a healthier alternative to beef kielbasa, whole grain pasta, and olive oil instead of vegetable oil. For an even healthier option, you can also use a light or reduced fat cheese. Feel fr...
