Wendy’s Seafood Ramen Noodles

Wendy’s Seafood Ramen Noodles

Dr. Wendy Dearborne
My seafood and vegetable ramen is made with a vegetarian broth, that can rival a bone broth for depth, complexity and flavor. Loaded with sautéed vegetables and caramelized seafood this is a treat for seafood ramen lovers. This recipe has many moving parts, but it is so worth the effort.

Sautéing vegetables individually

  • Be sure to sauté vegetables like carrots and peppers last so they do not discolor the lighter vegetables.
  • In a wok or skillet on high heat, add 1/4 tbsp avocado oil. Sauté cabbage until softened and tender, but still retaining its crunch, about 90 seconds. Remove from the wok and place in medium size bowl. In the same wok add 1/4 tbsp of avocado oil, sauté red onions until fragrant and beginning to soften about 60 seconds, remove from wok and place on a plate.
  • In the same wok sauté zucchini for 60 seconds remove from wok and place on the plate next to red onions. Add a splash of oil if needed. Sauté yellow squash for 60 seconds and place on the plate next to zucchini. Sauté carrots for 90 seconds and place on the plate next to the yellow squash. Sauté red peppers for 45 seconds and place on plate next to the carrots. Set the vegetables aside.
  • In a large pot bring the vegetable broth to a boil, add mussels, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 7-10 minutes.
  • Remove shrimp and scallops from marinade and pat dry. In the same wok on medium high heat add 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Add scallops and shrimp and cook for 90 seconds on each side. Don’t overcook! Remove from wok and set aside.
  • Add the premixed sauce to the wok and increase heat to high. When the sauce is bubbling and has started to thicken and reduce, add the shrimp and scallops with all accumulated juices back to the wok, and cook on high for 2 minutes. Stirring until shrimp and scallops are coated and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Remove mussels from the broth and set aside. Over high heat, bring broth to a boil, add dry ramen noodles to the broth and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Using tongs, remove noodles to individual serving bowls and ladle in the boiling hot broth and place mussels, scallops, shrimp, sautéed vegetables and eggs in a decorative circle around the bowl.
  • Drizzle 1/2 tsp of homemade chili oil over each of the bowls, garnish liberally with green onions and cilantro.

Notes

Ramen Broth
Your broth is as important as the toppings you select.  Checkout my recipe for a vegetarian broth that rivals a bone broth.
 
Boiled Eggs
Boil the perfect eggs to top your ramen noodles with.  Checkout tips on how to consistently get your boiled eggs perfect! 
 
Eating Your Ramen Later
If you don’t plan on eating this right away make the ramen noodles separately, then add them when you get ready to serve them. Simply heat noodles in the broth and then place them in the individual serving bowls. The noodles will soak up the broth and become soggy if they are left for an extended time in the broth.
