Take ramen to a new level with this easy, family friendly Ramen Vegetable Beef Skillet.
Photos Updated May 2015
I used to blog just about everything that I made. Most of the time, I loved doing it. There is just something exciting to me about sharing my meals, and sharing my thoughts on everything that I make. My husband can only listen to me talk about food for so long, after all. But sometimes – especially in the dead of winter – it gets a bit difficult. To take a decent photo, I have to have dinner done early enough to get some good sunlight. Which means that I try to have things done before 3pm, to get my ideal lighting.
Sometimes, especially lately, I’ve wanted to cook dinner at a normal hour. I’ve wanted to cook dinner, and then just sit down and enjoy it. Not taking the extra time to pull out props, set up equipment, take a photo, then pack things away and re-heat when it’s time for dinner. And I’ve been doing a lot more of that lately! (Which is one reason why I don’t have a back-log of recipes to blog about like I used to have. But it keeps me on my toes!) And if you are on Pinterest, you should check out my I Pinned It and Then I Made It board. It’s a work in progress, but this is where I plan on putting a lot of these recipes that I’m making but not blogging about. That way I can still share the food I’m making without having to actually blog about it!
This Ramen Vegetable Beef Skillet was actually one that I didn’t even plan on blogging about. But I really liked it, and it was so easy, that I just had to share!! I rarely have ramen noodle packages on hand, but during my move, I found a couple of packages packed away. I didn’t know what to do with them, and then I saw this recipe and knew it would be perfect. And then when I found myself with a half a head of cabbage that needed to be used, I knew it was fate! I used the whole seasoning packet when I made this, and it was a bit too salty, so I would suggest starting with half of the package and then tasting when it’s done, and adding more if it needs it. But I have a feeling that half the package will be plenty.

This is a perfect weeknight meal that comes together very easily, and is actually decently low in calories. And even though it has lots of veggies in it, kids will love it, too!

My 10 year old was making the Chocolate Chip Muffins from your site and saw a video of this ramen dish. He asked if we could make this for dinner soon cause it looked so good! So he helped me make it tonight and we’re all glad that video tempted him—easy and so delicious! Definitely making this again soon!

Could you use regular green cabbage?
Deborah says
Yes! I doesn’t soften up as much, but I’ve used it before and we liked it!
