I have made this so many times it is now part of the family meal rotation. I wanted to add that I substitute apple cider vinegar for the rice wine vinegar and for some reason it makes it taste so much better. Thanks for this!!
Yvonne says
So quick and easy! My husband LOVED this recipe! Thanks!
Paul says
Oriental is a much more beautiful and descriptive word than “Asian.” Russians are Asian for crying out loud. This PC garbage is created by people who like to lord it over others and tell them what to say, what to write, and, most of all, how to think. No thanks. When I visit Japan, China, or Korea, I visit the Orient, not just Asia.
Roche Woodworth says
I completely agree with you, Paul. Thanks for stopping by our blog! Hope you have a great day:)
Chanel Neal says
Maybe focus on the recipe instead of the verbiage. Clearly anyone can choose to be offended and tell people what to say … pc or otherwise 😉
Terry Kelley says
Some of you don’t have a clue, bet you’re snowflakes…. Asia could be India, Sri Lanka, whilst this food is definitely from there. It’s from the Orient, hence the term “Oriental” was indeed properly used and in no means slanderous. Wake up. And authentically oriental at that!
Teresa says
Sooooo sooo good. Wish I had done the steak a little different to make it more tender. I’m such a noodle fanatic- and this hit the spot!
Shay says
Glad you liked it! 🙂
Kirstin says
I really want to make this recipe. I am not sure what makes the broth. How much beef broth do you use and what are the ingerdients that make up the broth?
Shay says
Hi Kristin,
If you look carefully at the recipe card, I separated the ingredients that make up the broth 🙂
It’s:
BROTH
6 cups • water
1/2 cup • soy sauce
3 tbsp • mirrin (found in the oriental section of your grocery store)
2 tbsp • rice vinegar
2 cloves • garlic (minced)
1/4 tsp • ginger (minced)
You can also add a bit of Sake and of course Sriracha or your hot sauce of choice!
GB says
Hi there, the recipe is great, thanks for showing how to use zoodles in a soup. I’d like to point out that mirin is spelt with 1 R. Also “oriental” is not a good look, you can easily change that to Asian section of the grocery store.
Angela says
The recipe looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it!
Just wanted to confirm that “oriental” is no longer considered an appropriate term to use for Asian culture. It is better to use the term “Asian section of the grocery store” instead.
Terrence Kelley says
Are we (America folk) doing away with the Orient as well?
Patty says
Can you tell me how many carbs this Ramen Zoodles is?
Shay says
Hi Patty 🙂 Unfortunately I unable to provide nutritional information on my recipes as I am not a registered dietitian/nutritionist. There are lots of website you’ll be able to find with through a google search that allows you to enter a recipe and then gives you an estimate of the calories.
