Mayan Ramen Soup

Ingredients

1 packet of chicken ramen
juice of 1/2 a lime
freshly ground pepper
parsley (chopped)
spring onions (chopped)
olive oil
Prepare the ramen like you normally would, with just a little extra water. When it’s almost done, add the seasoning and the pepper (to taste. I usually use loads!). Turn the heat off, add the lime juice and the olive oil and give it a quick stir. Put in bowl and add the herbs (to taste). It tastes delicious, fresh and it’s almost idiot-proof.

Good Christ! It's like the guy from Forrest Gump talking about shrimp! Seriously, you might want to get out more.

Shrimp [chicken or other white meat can be substituted]
2 lemons
butter
Your favorite fresh vegetables, works well with
celery

red or green pepper
Make Ramen by following directions on package. While ramen cooks, begin to fry meat in a small amount of butter. After ramen finishes, strain all water out of noodles, add the noodles to the to meat in pan. Cut lemons and squeeze juice into the meat and noodles (the more the better!) Cut vegetables into small squares and toss into frying pan (you can pre-cut the veggies of course). Cover pan and let cook until the veggies are soft. Remember to keep the pan on a low temperature to avoid burning noodles. Also, remember to stir throughout the cooking process. Take noodle/meat/veggie mix out of pan and reapply remaining lemon juice to top. Serve with fresh bread and white wine (if appropriate)!

Barbeque Cheeseburger Ramen


Ingredients

1 package of Beef Ramen
Ground beef (about half the size of the Noodles)
4 Tbsp. Barbecue sauce
Grated Parmesan cheese
Prepare ramen as you usually would, but drain most of the water out, leaving just enough to stir in with the seasoning packet. Brown ground beef in a separate pan, drain the pan of grease, saving some for the ramen. Toss the browned ground beef into the ramen (two forks helps with this). Mix in the Barbecue sauce and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Pseudo-Tokyo Style Soup

Ingredients

1 package ramen (any flavor. Do NOT use the seasoning packet)
1 or 2 Pre-cooked slices of pork
2 and 1/2 cups water
6 chopped baby carrots
Slivered white/yellow onion (or chopped green onion if you prefer)
Ginger powder or fresh grated ginger (as much as you want)
Minced garlic (as much as you want)
A few dashes soy sauce (not low-sodium, preferably)
A spoonful of chicken base
Put everything but the noodles into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down a little bit (not past medium heat, though) and boil it for approximately 10 minutes, depending on how soft and cooked you like your carrots. After the 10 minutes are up, remove the pork slices and add your noodles, bringing to a boil again. Boil for 3 more minutes. Pour into your favorite bowl, top with the pork and enjoy!

Chicken/Shrimp and Bacon Ramen
Submitted By: Caleb

Submitted From: London, UK


Ingredients (to server one person)

1/2 an onion
one clove of garlic
1 - 2 slices of bacon (depending on preference)
6 chicken slices (approx the size of your palm)
you can substitute the chicken with: pork or prawns (shrimp)
soy sauce (i use medium strength)
mixed vegetables
1 packet of whichever noodles you prefer
If you have noodles that need boiling, I would advise putting them on now. Slice the onion and shred the garlic or cut it up (finely). Cut up the bacon into small pieces. Add all of the above into wok (which already has a small amount of olive oil in it) and cook on a low heat. Add some herbs or which ever seasoning you usually use if you wish. Get the chicken, cut it up, and add it the the wok. Make sure the chicken is completely cooked (a good sign of this is that its completely changed color all over) then add the soy sauce. Allow to cook for a minute then add the mixed vegetables and mix together. Finally, add the noodles and mix together. Serve and enjoy.

Pan Fried Tilapia on a Bed of Ramen

Tilapia is usually called “white fish” since it doesn’t really have a strong or distinct flavor. It lends itself well to sauces and seasonings.

Ingredients (for 1 person, increase as needed)

1 package ramen
1 tilapia filet
lemon wedges (to taste)
flour
salt
black pepper
paprika
chili powder
Optional spices for ramen: thyme, basil, garlic powder, etc.
Directions
(The whole thing takes about 10 min to prepare.)

Heat oil in a frying pan (enough so that it is about 1/4 inch deep). Boil some water in a sauce pan (enough to cook the ramen).
Mix the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili powder together on a paper towel.
When the oil has heated, coat the tilapia in the flour mixture and place it in the oil. Cook each side for about 3 minutes (it should turn dark brown).
Meanwhile, cook the ramen in the sauce pan. I like to add the ramen spice packet, as well as some thyme, basil, and garlic powder.
When the ramen has finished, drain it and place it on a plate, and put the cooked fish on top.
If you like lemon, take some wedges and squeeze them over the fish.

Ghetto Yee Min Ramen

Ingredients

4oz beef
1 package ramen
vegetables (broccoli, snow peas, etc)
Chinese vegetables (bok choy, Chinese brocolli, etc)
oyster sauce
soy sauce
sugar
corn starch
onion
Note: Recipe is hazy, amounts differ depending on personal taste

There’s a Chinese dish, involving gravy over pan-fried Chinese egg noodles (which are functionally the same as ramen noodles.) I reproduced it on a minor level as follows:

Cook 4 oz of beef of your choice, frying preferable. (I used hamburger, for extra ghettoness, and used a little of the drippings - gravy, whether Chinese or otherwise, needs a little fat.)

Boil the ramen according to directions, toss out the sauce packet. Drain, and set aside.

Boil vegetables such as broccoli, or snow peas if desired. Make sure to cook them through, as you fold them in at the very end.

Put 1 1/2 cups or so of water in a saucepan, and add 1 tsp of beef base. (NOT bouillon, or ramen seasoning.) Bring to a boil. Add beef. Add about 3 tbsp of oyster sauce, and like 1 tbsp of soy sauce, and taste it. If it’s not salty enough, add oyster sauce and soy sauce in similar proportions until it is. Add a little sugar if desired (The Chinese yee mein recipes seem to usually call for just a little.) Add a few drops of sesame oil. Make a slurry of 1 tbsp of cornstarch, and as little water as possible, and stir rapidly into the boiling liquid. If it’s not thick enough, use your judgment and make it so. Taste it again, it may or may not be salty enough. If so, repeat the soy/oyster sauce step until it is. Fry up a little onion, to your taste, and add the ramen, frying the noodles until the surface of them dries and they sizzle. Immediately transfer the gravy/sauce to the noodle mixture, and proceed to fold in whatever vegetables you like. For me this is one serving, but your mileage may vary. If you’re feeling adventurous, use Chinese broccoli or bok choy. (Significantly more authentic.)

This recipe is not for anyone with high blood pressure or otherwise on a low-sodium or low-fat diet.

Be Nice, geez

Brandy,
