I make hot-and-sour noodle bowls with Ramen Noodles. I use a package of hot-and-sour soup mix made with the recommended amount of water and the flavor packets from two noodle packets. When that comes to a boil, I add a little chopped raw shrimp or leftover chicken (or sometimes no meat) and a can of drained, sliced mushrooms. Bring to a boil again and add two beaten eggs stirring slowly so that the eggs are in sheets. Pour the soup mixture over the two packs of cooked Ramen noodles and top with diced green onion tops. It's really pretty good.
My husband makes the soup with little bits of leftover pork roast or chicken or beef thrown in. Some green onions, slivers of baby carrot, Aleppo Pepper, maybe a little garlic, hot sauce, tiny bit of honey - it's amazing how wonderful it tastes!
After you cook your noodles, add in some browned hamburger and some of your favorite veggies. I like to have it that way with some broccoli and a little grated cheese on top.
Woof woof, I don't exactly have ramen (I still call 'em Oodles of Noodles) recipes. But If you're looking for cheap instant meals, I used to LIVE on those packets of Lipton Rice & Sauce. I'd take a bag of either the spanish rice or cajun rice, add a can of stewed tomatoes, and a can of Swanson white chicken, and made a meal that lasted two nights. (I was a poor mental health worker for a while in my early 20's).
You can add about anything but if you really want to make the noodle jump up and smooch ya' you have to alter the preparation. Cut the water to less than half, (keep a little in a cup nearby incase it steams to dry) when it boils add packet plus any extra spices, now on the burner next to it have a skillet with oil ( i use a mix of olive and sesame most of the time but anything will work) about a sixteenth of an inch deep. If you're adding any big goodies heat them in the skillet first (just be sure to have plenty of oil for the noodles) drop the noodles whole into the water and when they just start to soften flip the whole block over, untangle them as soon as they allow and keep them moving until they are barely aldente (add water if they go dry before they are done) at this time the oil should be very hot in the skillet (getting the timing takes a little practice but it's worth it) Pull the noodles out in long strands and lay in skillet as quickly as possible ( kill the skillet heat now and let it coast down) Work the noodles swiftly around and mix well for 2/3 minutes; then pull out and serve. It's somewhere between lomein and panzit and it's pretty good. It doesn't even feel like the ol gooshy ramen noodles you usually eat.
This thread is outrageously absurd. Eat some oranges or strawberries, and granola bars.
