Spicy Ramen Noodle Soup

It was probably cold for all of 2 hours in Houston, so that brisk weather had me craving something savory and warm. This was my first attempt at making homemade ramen, and I was pretty impressed with how much easier it is to make than it actually looks. A quick trip to my local Asian Market turned out to be a fun adventure too! I know this is traditionally made with ground pork, but I don’t personally eat a lot of pork, so I swapped it for ground turkey. Go with your protein of choice, tofu is a great alternative, or go meatless altogether!
