Ramen Noodle recipes?

Skip the "ramen" noodles...did you know they are FRIED before dehydrating/packaging? I do now! Try whole grain or whole wheat pasta :-)

I add chicken chunks and frozen spinach leaves to it, but be careful using the whole spice packet...there's a ton of sodium in it.

I drain the water after my noodles are done and then add the seasoning and then fry it in the skillet a bit w/ a few veggies. yummmy

Get the shrimp flavored kind and add real shrimp to it. It's wonderful. My boyfriend and I just threw this together by accident one weekend and we were both surprised at how good it really was.

Have you ever made this salad with them?

It's very yummy. You can skip putting in the flavor pack (it only calls for 1, btw, so the sodium posted here is actually much less), and save some additional sodium. The calories are higher than actual, I believe, because it assumes you'll be consuming all that dressing, but actually, it ends up in the bottom of the bowl. Also, I only use 1/3c sugar and 1/3c vinegar in the dressing. I add shredded carrots, and you could add other ingredients like green or red pepper.

*eyeroll* Always one in every thread.

WOW not too nice are ya? Just tryn' to help :-/

I make a half a package and add some soya sauce, siracha and a drop of sesame oil. Then i add some chopped up spinach, red peppers and mushrooms. Once the veggies are soft i drop and egg in and let it poach.

Only the wheat based egg noodles are pre-fried. If you want to cut down on calories look for rice based noodles or even better then bean vermicelli based noodles. Calorie difference is quite dramatic.

I have the bean or rice noodles for lunch sometimes on weekends and beef them up with snow peas, green beans or broccoli. Will also poach an egg in the broth.

I like Chicken ramen and I throw in Green onion! it actually makes a huge difference

I just saw a book on this at the book fair...........the possibilities are endless! The beef one would be nice with cashews, peppers, onion, and teryaki beef. My aunt once made a salad and did not cook the noodles, it was crunchy and flavorful.:smooched:

this is the way to go. the crunch is awesome. I generally skip the seasoning, though, and add soy sauce.

This bad boy was one of my post-workout meals last summer. I named this Championship Ramen Bowl: egg (which I boil with the ramen noodles and then slash it happily to watch the lovely yolk ooze out), mixed veggies, diced chicken, fried onion and a very healthy dollop of Sriracha.

Slurp obnoxiously with every bite to fully enjoy the awesome.

Cook ramen and drain, saute sliced onion and mushrooms add the ramen and cook together until mixed. My favorite way to eat them.

Maybe she wasn't talking about the noodles that come in a bag. If she was, I'll give you another little bit of history behind them that you may not know. They're delicious. If you can't handle 400 calories of delicious noodles once in awhile, it's not the ramen's fault.
