RAMEN NOODLES??? AS IN "USE IN A RECIPE"????


As I was looking for recipes to make this week, I chanced upon a recipe using Ramen noodles. I have an 18-year-old in the house, so it's the law that I have a room dedicated to storing that particular commodity, but for some reason, I never found recipes that actually used the noodles and the seasoning mix. Until today. Oh my gosh. This looked yummy. Here it is...

  1. Put the Ramen noodles into a pot of boiling water for 1 minute. Drain well.
  2. Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Over medium heat, add the Ramen noodles, vegetables and chicken or fish, if desired.
  3. Sprinkle one seasoning packet over the top of the mixture. Cook until the vegetables are warm through and the skillet is sizzling.
  4. Crack eggs over the noodle mixture and stir fry vigorously until egg is well cooked. Serve.
Quick, cheap, easy, and it looks tasty. Heeelllllooooo dinner. Also, it hits on all the food groups, so I don't have to deal with guilt. YAY.

I'm going to make this for Mom when I go to visit her this spring. She will LOOOOOVE this. Just for fun, I think we'll use chopsticks. It will make my mother cuss, which is funny as all get out. I'll repent later.

My roasted chicken turned out to be a success tonight - all the lemon and garlic made a great flavor. I am very good, though, at de-boning a whole chicken.

Emmy said...

woops. .NOT very good at the de-boning a chicken.

I miss you also. I'll call you when I get home. It's raining too hard for me to go to Disneyland...you guys are troopers.

Your words are silly. You got the dumb.
