Creating Pizza Ramen is a fun adventure in the kitchen. Follow these steps for the ultimate dish:
1. Prepare Broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Add Seasonings: Stir in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the broth.
3. Cook Noodles: Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still al dente.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In a separate pan, sauté the onion and bell peppers over medium heat until they are softened, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Combine: Add the sautéed vegetables to the pot with the noodles and broth. Stir well to combine.
6. Add Protein: Mix in your choice of protein, such as pepperoni or any preferred toppings.
7. Cheese Please: Gradually fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, letting it melt into the warm broth for a delicious gooey effect.
8. Taste & Adjust: Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning to suit your taste.
9. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and ladle the Pizza Ramen into bowls.
10. Garnish: Finish with fresh basil leaves and any additional toppings you desire, such as olives or mushrooms.
