Homemade Ramen Seasoning

Sharing is caring!

This homemade ramen seasoning is easy to make and tastes so good! This recipe makes 4 servings of seasoning blend (about 1 tablespoon per serving).

It's perfect if you want to make a bowl of homemade ramen or want to make instant ramen but don't want all the preservatives in the ramen seasoning packet.

You can also use these ramen spices on snack mixes, as a rub on meat, or to top roasted vegetables. It's a great savory spice blend!

Why You'll Love This Ramen Seasoning Blend

This ramen spice mix is great for two reasons - you can make yourself a healthier bowl of ramen and you can use it in more than just soup.

Ramen seasoning packets often come with a significant amount of sodium and preservatives, which is fine in moderation. But if you want to make ramen on the regular or make ramen for kids, it's great to control what goes into the spice blend.

You might also want to use dried (not fried) ramen noodles and you'll need to serve those with some seasoning - hence this great blend!

Additionally, you can use ramen spices on all sorts of things! I love ramen seasoning on a mix of spiced nuts or roasted chickpeas, as a rub on chicken, and to top roasted carrots or Brussels sprouts.

Ingredients You'll Need

• 3 chicken bouillon cubes
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder or granulated garlic
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley 
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

If you'd like to like your ramen on the spicier side, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon of cayenne to this blend.

How to Make Homemade Ramen

The easiest way to use this ramen seasoning mix is to make simple homemade ramen. Here's how to make 1 serving of it.

3. Remove the noodles from the heat and add 1 tablespoon of your homemade ramen seasoning blend. Stir to combine.
