Naruto > Food Guide > Ramen Noodles (Ramen Noodles with Spam? I've tried it, and it tastes Greaatt!) Asian Style Chicken And Cabbage Salad Ingredients 1 head of cabbage sliced thin 1 whole chicken breast cooked and chopped 2 package Ramen noodles, uncooked and broken fine (don't use seasoning packet) 4 green onions 1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds 2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tsp. sesame oil 6 tsp. rice vinegar 2 tsp. salt 4 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. pepper Directions Combine first six ingredients in a large bowl. Prepare dressing; combine the remaining six ingredients. Pour over salad and let sit overnight before serving. Chicken Or Tofu Salad This makes a lot, but it disappeared with just the 4 of us! Delish! I use my own spices and leave out the flavoring packet as it contains much too much salt! Ingredients 1/4 cup almonds, slivered 3 Tbsp. sesame seeds (grind up 1 1/2 Tbsp. if possible, it brings out more flavor) 1 package Top Ramen noodles 2 Tbsp. soy sauce (lite-less salt) 1/3 to 1/2 cup Wine 1/4 tsp. Garlic powder 1/4 tsp. Onion powder 2 Tbsp. Splenda 3 Tbsp. White vinegar 1/4 cup oil (I used 1/8 cup sesame and 1/8 cup olive oil) 4 scallions thinly sliced 1 red bell pepper (Optional I didn't use it) Cilantro, chopped (Optional I used dried cilantro 1/4 tsp.) 1/2 head cabbage (I used about 3 lbs. of Chinese cabbage chopped fine) 2 cup chicken breast, cooked and diced small (I used 2 cups tofu) Directions Toast almonds with sesame seeds and cool. Add cabbage. Break noodles into small pieces, add to almonds, sesame seeds and cabbage and set aside. Blend together with a wisk: soy sauce, wine, garlic powder, onion powder, splenda, vinegar, oil, scallions, pepper, cilantro. Add chicken to "wet" mixture. Let marinate if you have a mind to (it does enhance the flavor, especially of the Tofu) Pour over cabbage. I let it sit a few hours (refrigerated) to blend the flavors! It was delicious.   Patti's Fumi Salad (Japanese Cole Slaw) My family loves this delicious Japanese coleslaw. I got the recipe off the Interenet. This is a great Pot Luck dish. Delicious, inexpensive, feeds an army, easy to make. People always hunt me down for this recipe. Ingredients One head green cabbage One head purple cabbage (OR 2 bags Dole "Classic Coleslaw" in place of cabbage heads) Garlic Salt Toasted almond slivers Toasted sesame seeds (or sunflower seeds) 6 Scallions (or green onions) 1/2 cup Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar (I use a little more, about 3/4 cup) 1/2 cup oil 3 package Top Ramen Noodles not cooked, broken up (throw away seasoning packet) Directions Slice cabbage thinly, place in large bowl, toss with garlic salt. Add toasted nuts and seeds, scallions and broken up ramen noodles.combine the oil and vinegar, mix together with the salad, chill and serve. Right before serving, I sprinkle the top of the salad with some more broken-up ramen noodles. The recipe does not have to be chilled if you're in a hurry to get somewhere. The salad will compress nearly in half after the oil and vinegar has been added. This is a large recipe, alter the oil and vinegar to make smaller portions. Ramen is a staple at our house! Hope you find plenty of ways to enjoy yours! ;)   Asian Slaw Ingredients 1/4 cup sesame seeds 1/3 cup sliced almonds 1 head cabbage, shredded 1 red bell pepper, sliced 1 orange bell pepper, sliced 1 cup snow peas 6 green onions, thinly sliced 2 (3 oz.) package Ramen noodles 1/2 cup oil 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 2 Tbsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. pepper Directions Place sesame seeds and almonds on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until lightly toasted and you can smell them toasting, about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently during cooking. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine cabbage, peppers, snow peas, and green onions. Crush ramen noodles and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine oil, water, vinegar, sugar, and 1 seasoning packet. Discard remaining seasoning packet. Beat dressing with wire whisk until combined. Just before serving, toss crushed noodles, toasted almonds and sesame seeds with cabbage mixture. Pour dressing over salad and toss well. 10-12 servings   Chinese Cole Slaw Ingredients 1 lb cole slaw mix 2 packages ramen noodles 2 bunches green onions 1 cup slivered onions 1 cup sunflower seeds Dressing: 2 seasoning packets 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup vinegar 3/4 cup oil Directions Mix and then pour over cabbage mixture. Let set overnight.   Chicken and Veggie Noodles I like to take: Chicken ramen noodles and spice packet 1 - 1 1/2 cup water small can mushroom, drained 1/2 - 3/4 cup frozen green peas 1/2 - 1 cup leftover chicken, chopped or shredded In medium saucepan add water and packet, bring to a boil and add broken noodles. Cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, then add vegetables. Continue cooking until noodles are done, adding chicken at the end of cooking time. Take off heat and let rest 5 minutes. Stir and serve. I sometimes also add chopped onions. Just experiment with additions till you find what you like. I also like the sunflower or oriental slaw.   Spicy Shrimp and Noodle Soup This soup is so good! Ingredients 1 lb shrimp 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 1/4 tsp. chili powder 1/4 tsp. ground cumin 1/8 tsp. black pepper 5 cups water 2 packages shrimp or oriental flavored Ramen Noodles (use only 1 packet of seasoning) 2 cups salsa 1 15oz can black beans rinsed and drained 1 can corn, 1 green onion thinly sliced Directions Peel and devein shrimp, In a medium bowl combine lemon juice chili powder, cumin, and pepper, add mixture to shrimp toss to coat, let stand 20 minutes. In a large sauce pan bring water to boil, stir in ramen flavor packet, break ramon noodles into pieces add to saucepan, return to boil cook for 1 minute. Add shrimp, salsa, beans, corn, and green onion heat though until shrimp turn pink. Very quick, easy and good.   Beef Tomato Noodle Skillet This is so easy and we eat it all of time. Ingredients 1 package of Ramen Noodles crunched up 2 cans of tomatoes 1 can of corn (not creamed) 1 lb ground beef Directions Brown the beef and drain. Add the tomatoes, corn, and noodles. Make sure to add the seasoning package to the meal. Bring to boil. Cover, stiring occasionally. Bring the meal until most of the tomato sauce is evaporated and the noodles are soft. It makes a lot and is very yummy!   Chinese Fried Noodles I use them to make Chinese fried noodles all the time. Simply presoak the noodles in hot water to cook them. Then heat about 1-2 Tbsp. of oil per package of noodles. Fry 1 clove of garlic, then toss in the noodles and stir fry them. Add about a half pack of the seasoning mix to the noodles, a Tbsp. of soy sauce, and if you like, some oyster sauce. If you overseason and it's too salty, just add some water and keep frying until the water evaporates. Once noodles are fried, I add frozen corn. You can also add other veggies, like bean sprouts, salter turnips (available at oriental stores), or shredded carrots. I the take out the noodles and fry a few eggs and cut them up into small chunks and then add the noodles back into the pan and mix them together. It tastes even better if you add fried onions (also available at oriental stores) over top as garnish. It's a VERY inexpensive meal and great for parties because it is easy to fry 4-6 packets at a time.   Crockpot Beef And Noodles I do a beef and noodles recipe with the ramen noodles. First I take a 2 to 3 lb. beef roast and cook it in the crockpot with around a cup of water. I use the low setting and I let it cook overnight. In the morning, I shredd the meat up and I add anywhere from 6 to 10 seasoning packets from the beef ramen noodle packets.(It all depends on how many people are going to be eating this. I take it to potlucks a lot.) I also add around another 1/2 cup of water. I let this all cook together all day. About an hour before I am ready to eat, I cook all the ramen noodles (the 6 to 10 packs from which I took the seasoning packets.) I only add the noodles to the crockpot. I may add another 1/2 cup of water so the noodles don't dry up, but I mix together the noodles and beef and let them cook together for about 30 minutes so the flavor can really mix with the noodles. Everywhere I have taken this, it has been a huge hit.   Chicken and Noodles I cook them as the package instructions. Make 2 packages. Then add a cup of chopped chicken and a cup frozen vegs. Since the seasonings packets have so much salt I only use one packet for every two packs of Ramen Noodles used. Add pepper to taste. Add rolls or garlic bread and a fresh salad and you have a compleate meal.   Chicken Vegetable Soup Use 2 packages of Ramen Noodles, add 1 can VegAll mixed vegetables and 1 can white meat canned chicken. Boil noodles with water per instructions for 3 minutes, add seasoning packets, Vegall and canned chicken. Season to taste with soy sauce (I use low-sodium), and simmer for 15-30 minutes. More like a stew than a soup. You can also use canned tuna.   Corn Chowder There is an easy to make corn chowder that uses the noodles. Take one package noodles and mix it with one package of a dry chicken soup mix (I used a Lipton cream of chicken). Then add about 2 - 3 cups milk/water mixture to it and throw it in the microwave for about 8 minutes. Be sure to mix the powder from the chicken soup into the water/milk mix so there are no lumps. Once the noodles are done, add one can of creamed corn. Mix and serve. My DH loved it. I suppose you could also add fried bacon pieces or sauted onions to it if you wanted to.   Ramen Casserole I make a hot dish with them. Put the water and season pack in a casserole dish and then I chop chicken or pork and put on top and bake until done about 1 hour at 350 degrees F. I have also left the chicken breasts or loin chops whole and put them on top of the noodles and baked them the same amout of time. One of our family favorite meals with a salad.   Snack On Noodles When I'm really hungry, I eat them 'raw' as a snack- just break up the block by pounding on it with the heel of my hand while in the package. It's kinda bland, but I like it!)   Hot Dog Ramen Soup My 13 year old was making dinner for her sisters one night and I was not allowed into the kitchen. She was supposed to be making hot dogs and ramen soup, lol. Well she threw together this dish and now it is a family favorite, very quick and all of us like it. 1 package ramen for each person 1/2 the amount of recommended water 1 hot dog for each person (cut into chunks) Bring all to a boil, turn off and add: seasoning packet 2 raw eggs (whisk in seperate bowl) 1/2 - 1 cup of cheese (we have used sliced and works great too) Mix and let finish cooking. Sounds and looks gross but it really is the best tasting soup I think I have ever had, and I am not a hot dog eater.   Fast And Easy Alfredo For a fast meal: Make noodles as if you were making the soup, only drain noodles. Add: a little garlic powder 1 cup cottage cheese 1 pat of butter seasoning packet Melt 1 oz mozarella cheese, sprinkle with parmasen cheese.   Mac N Cheesy Chicken Noodles I like to cook up a box of Mac n Cheese and when the noodles are almost done, I add 1 crushed up pack of Ramen noodles then add the butter, milk, pepper, 2 slices american cheese, cheese packet and the Chicken seasoning packet. It turns out to taste like Cheesy Chicken Pasta. Very good! I also make some cheap garlic bread (microwave version) with McCormicks Garlic and seasonings no salt version and butter with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top to go along with it. I get about 4 meals out of this easy and cheap recipe.   White Chocolate Ramen Cookie I found a great recipe for a drop cookie that uses ramen noodles. Take 3 packages of the noodles, break up into small pieces, discarding the flavor packets. Brown in a skillet with a couple Tbsp. of butter until lightly brown. Melt 1 regular size package of white chocolate chips in Microwave or over double broiler. Mix the browned noodles into the melted chocolate. Drop by spoonfulls onto wax paper and let set for 20 minutes. Store in airtight container. Note: You can add anything from nuts to dried fruit to make it your own, but you'll find the noodles give off a nutty flavor on their own. My husband loves these and requests them often.   Clam Chowder and Ramen Go to any store and buy a can of clam chowder. Cook your noodles either in the microwave (on high 3 minutes, 30 seconds on each side) or cook on stove. Then add the can of soup, the noodles will heat up the soup for you and it taste great! I can never eat the whole thing, it fills me up so much!   Alternate Ramen Preparation and Additions I take 2-3 packages. of ramen noodles, partially crush them. In a saucepan, I mix about 2 qts. of water bring to a boil, mix in ramen seasoning packets and a 1 lb. bag of frozen mixed veggies (any variety will do), can toss in any leftover meats chopped up. Some soy sauce added in. There you have 1 quick, and inexpensive meal. It's funny I find this question as my friends and I were having this conversation on how we use ramen noodles just last week. One pal says she makes macaroni and cheese with her ramen noodles, using a bit of butter, a bit of milk and some Velveeta cheese.   Butter This how my family eats them. Cook noodles as directed without the seasoning mix added. Drain noodles and put on a plate. Coat with butter and sprinkle the seasoning pack on top. Mix well. I think this is way too salty but my husband and sons think they're great.   Ramen With Ground Beef My mom used to cook it as per directions on packet, then added a pound of ground beef (cooked of course) and a package of the mixed vegtables (corn carrots and peas)   Ramen Dessert I once dated a guy and his mother made a dessert bar with ramen noodles in it. I know it had caramel and almonds and a lot of other things.   Add Sesame Oil I used to like buying the Sesame Chicken ramen packets. They would come with a little tube of sesame oil. Now I just add some toasted sesame oil to any flavor ramem. Also, my sister taught me to add lemon pepper and seasoning salt to ramen to give it more flavor.   With Cheddar We cook ramen noodles without season pack, drain, add chili and chedder cheese.   Deluxe Ramen I love ramen noodles! I like them just as the package says, but I add tons of spices, and chopped up tomatoes, diced onions, and whole mushrooms, sometimes, garlic cloves. Man, these soups might be cheap, but after people taste mine, they are begging for me to tell how I make them. I want one right now, lol.   Cream of Mushroom Soup Just make the noodles as the packet says to and then add one can of cream of mushroom soup.   Spam and Ramen My boyfriend likes to add Spam and soy sauce to his top ramen.   Stirfry The Noodles Discard the seasoning packet or use it to flavor homemade soup another time. (The seasoning packet is very salty.) Stirfry the noodles in a dry nonstick pan until slightly brown and use as croutons or to top any stirfried dish.   Snack on Dry Noodles or Supplement Soup Why make soup. Have you tried eating it dry as a snack? (Not bad actually.) When making it as a soup, (most chicken kinds I like best) I just add chicken to the water as it boils. Extra protein and it is filling. I eat it all the time. 2 year old son like the noodles and sometimes eats the chicken pieces. Much better than some other junk.
