Even if you don’t like to indulge in the occasional bowl of Ramen, surely you like noodles.
Some people eat Ramen purely for budgetary reasons. Some people truly like it. Most people fall into a category that includes both, they like Ramen and it’s easy on the wallet.
It’s all about the noodles.
And that’s why you need to keep some packages of Ramen on hand, in your pantry at all times. The flavor doesn’t matter, beef, chicken, shrimp, mushroom, whatever….. You’ve got instant noodles at the ready for whatever you feel like eating. I’ve written before about turning some Ramen noodles into a spaghetti dish, because that was what I was craving. Today I’m having Chili over some Ramen noodles.
The noodles are great because they only take 3 minutes to cook and it doesn’t take a pot full of water to do it.
Like the aforementioned ‘spaghetti’, other uses for Ramen noodles are: Crunching up uncooked Ramen noodles to put on a salad; they work great in noodle casseroles of all types; plain, cooked Ramen noodles are fantastic in stir fry; and if you’re feeling adventurous, Ramen noodles make a great hamburger bun. For the most part, any recipe calling for some kind of noodle…. Ramen noodles can be used in a pinch or a twist!
And about those flavor packets… They aren’t exclusive to making a bowl of Ramen. I’ve got them in surplus in my spice cabinet for any number of uses. I might use a chicken packet to make a quick chicken broth to braise a pan of chicken breasts with. I’ll use a beef packet to add some punch to a beef gravy. If I’m making some kind of fish dish, a shrimp packet comes in handy to make a nice quick pan sauce with. Adding a packet of the mushroom flavor for a cream sauce to pour over that cast iron seared steak is easy and delicious! If you’re not familiar with bouillon cubes, that’s essentially what a flavor packet in the package of Ramen is.
Noodle up on some Ramen! If you’re not already a fan, you’ll become one.
