The Ramen Noodle….

What's your favorite way to jazz up ramen noodles?  I know there are a bunch of websites that give 'recipes' but after trying a handful… um…  well let's say they were wanting

A ton of fresh vegetables: broccoli, julienned carrots, cabbage, baby corn , etc. Once it's off the stove I stir in bean sprouts, minced jalapeno, a handful of cilantro or basil and some chopped green onions and it's a very satisfying meal.

I make Dragon Noodles with Ramen when I'm out of linguine:http://www.budgetbytes.com/2012/08/spicy-noodles/

OMgoodness, your Dragon Noodles are a great dish. I've made them several times ... with ramen as you said above. I served them with Asian chicken patties that time.

On an earlier occasion, I served them with chicken satay.

I've used them for Spicy Dragon noodles as well but my most interesting use was in a ramen burger where a package of noodles was cooked and then transformed into a burger bun.

I actually cook the noodles as directed minus the seasoning drain off the water and pan fry them with some sesame oil and tons of fresh veggies maybe a dash of soy sauce.

i can't handle the salt in the packets so don't use them, unless it's the Japanese brand of Ramen with dried tofu in it. that one is tasty even with the high salt.

I can handle the salt in the packets, but I usually just prefer the flavors that come from me making up a seasoning/sauce by hand and adding vegetables (whatever's kicking around in the fridge and needs to be used up).

However, I do tend to keep the seasoning salt packets around for group meals, especially slow-cooker projects. Or sometimes just for when I'm sick or unhappy and crave some super-salty broth to sip until I feel better.
