Now, I do fix 'em up - more or less depending on how energetic I'm feeling. I start with the Lime Shrimp flavor, add the juice of half a lime, dried parsley, lots of paprika, a few dashes of cayenne pepper, some turmeric, a small dallop of sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped scallions. Just to class up the joint, you know?
Yessssss. Because nothing says "class" like sour cream and scallions. Actually, though, yeah. That classes it up. kudos.
ReplyDeleteMom's recipe: Asian Noodle Slaw Soup
ReplyDeleteIn large pot, cook til nearly done 16 oz sliced thin raw chicken (or use 2 cups cooked diced chicken). Add & bring to a boil: 7 c water, 5 c finely sliced cabbage (1/2 head), & 3 pkg. Chicken flavor ramen noodles (broken up-save flavor packs). Stir & simmer 3 minutes. Turn off & add 3 flavor packets. Serves 4-5.
I'm sure it could be enchanced by some onion or flavored oils but that's the basic recipe. I think we will have it for lunch this week. Childhood memories revisited thru food :)
I assume you know all about http://www.mattfischer.com/ramen/. I like ramen, but the nutritional information on the package makes me queasy, so we eat it maybe once a month. That's when I'm in charge. When Lucas is home, we eat it far more frequently, and that man can do magic with ramen.
ReplyDeleteSally, your comment reminded me of a coleslaw my mom made with ramen! I'm going to make it too :) Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteSadia, no I had never heard of that! Silly me, just using my ramen for soup ;) Thanks for that!
I love ramen too- maybe cause mom was always such a 'home-cooked' kind of cooker that ramen was a special treat??? The only problem is that it never seems very salty anymore- maybe that tells you something about my salt intake...
ReplyDeleteJulie, ha, yes it probably does say something about your salt intake! It still tastes salty to me, but I really like the extra spices. Try that- I think the turmeric is what is beneficial in curry so can't hurt to add it. And it's supposedly an anti-inflammatory and looking at my eyes, I need it.
ReplyDeleteHey, I think I just claimed Ramen as a health food! ;)
