Bacon & Crispy Fried Onion Ramen
with Spinach & Scallions
- Wheat
A steamy hot bowl of ramen is one of life’s great pleasures, and this rich bacony version is on your table in just 20 minutes. While a garlic-infused ramen broth simmers, we crisp up bacon and wilt fresh spinach. The springy noodles cook in a flash and we serve it all with a shower of scallion greens, chili flakes, and crispy fried onions.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim scallions; cut whites into 1-inch pieces and thinly slice greens.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Add 3 1⁄2 cups water (7 cups for 4 servings), pork ramen stock concentrates, and chicken stock concentrate. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. (You’ll add more to the pot in Step 5.)
• Meanwhile, heat a medium dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. TIP: If your pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil. • Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel- lined plate. Wipe out pan. Once bacon is cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for bacon over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are browned and spinach is wilted, 2-3 minutes. (For 4 servings, you may need to cook spinach in batches.)
• Meanwhile, add noodles to pot with broth. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender, 2 minutes. • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Divide ramen between large soup bowls. • Top with bacon, spinach, and scallion greens. Sprinkle with as many chili flakes as you like and a few crispy onions. (TIP: Don’t add all the crispy onions to the ramen just yet! Add them as you eat to keep them crispy.) Serve.
Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the rich, savory broth, though some found it a bit bland and suggested adding soy sauce or extra herbs for depth.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, though cooking times varied; some recommend cooking noodles separately to avoid mushiness.
- Suggestions: Consider adding an egg, chicken, or mushrooms for more protein and flavor. Try bok choy instead of spinach for extra crunch.
- Leftovers: Noodles can get mushy if left in broth; store separately or eat immediately for best texture.
- Toppings: Crispy onions add great flavor and crunch, but get soggy quickly; add them just before eating 🍲.
Reviews from our home cooks
This is a really good base for a basic Ramen. I would definitely omit the bacon next time and use chicken. I added onions and carrots to the broth along with a little bit of sesame oil and oyster sauce gave it a very rich flavor, tasted more restaurant style after I added ingredients.
This was really good! It was quick and easy to make, and had great flavor! The crispy onions really brought everything together with the salty onion flavor and crunch! I would definitely get this again!
Very delicious. We love any Raman soup in shoyu type broth. However this one had us cook the noodles in the broth. I didn't like that. I like cooking them separately. The noodles soaked up most of the broth and then what was left was a gummy noodle broth. Like the Raman had been over cooked. Will cook the noodles apart from broth next time like in the past and then just add noodles to bowl and ladle broth over noodles before serving. This way it's better.
Wow! Super tasty. I made the bacon super crispy. Also added more garlic that I always have on hand because there's never enough. Plus added siraracha. But overall a perfect dish
Really good! Will be repeating this one at home with bone broth as this broth was fairly devoid of nutrition. But it was still tasty! Loved the bacon/spinach part
Who knew something so simple to make would taste so good as if you spent all day in the kitchen it put a new spin on Ramen noodles which i don't care for the Raman packets
So much better than was expecting, such an elevated version of ramen, the spinach and bacon added so much
My favorite dish so far! Ramen was delicious and easy to make. Bacon was a plus!
Very flavorful. We subbed the spinach for bok choy as we wanted a little more bite. Overall very good.
Very easy to prepare meal. Savory broth was delicious and the bacon added to the flavor. Delicious!
