Recipe for Enhanced Ramen 3: Kicked Soy Fishy Flavor Noodles

The cheap gourmet at its finest! I used:

1 pack of Chicken Tortilla Ramen
1 minced clove of garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp fish sauce
1/4 tsp freeze dried chives
1/2 tsp onion powder

Fill a medium sized pot with water and boil it: place the noodles in the pot and cook until al dente (about 3min); strain 90 percent of the water out of the pot and put back over a light flame; pour the seasoning packet and the spices/sauces into the pot; stir until noodles are warm and enjoy! This isn't the healthiest or most unhealthy thing out there but it only cost me 25 cents for the Ramen packet!

Recipe for Enhanced Ramen 2: Asian Cole Slaw

My mom's friend would always make this type of thing for gatherings and whatnot and I decided to create my own version of this awesomeness, which is listed below:

Cole Slaw Ingredients:
1 package ramen (chicken or oriental flavor, your choice)
1 package cole slaw mix
1 cup broccoli
1 cup cauliflower
1/2 cup snap peas
1 cup chopped mixed red/orange/yellow peppers
3 chopped green onions
1/4 tsp ramen flavoring packet

Asian Dressing Recipe:
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp ginger (powder or from a squeeze tube works)
1/4 tsp cilantro paste (or 3 tbsp fresh cilantro)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp Chili Garlic Sauce
1/2 tsp onion powder
salt/pepper to taste

Combine cole slaw ingredients into a large salad bowl. Pour dressing into the bowl as needed. Toss and enjoy! Note that this makes at least 6 servings!

Recipe for Enhanced Ramen 1: Roast Chicken Asian Peanut Noodles

What happens when you randomly have ramen lying around your house, you're bored and feel like making something because you're hungry for lunch, and there's no other food you're interested in having? This happens:

1 package Roast Chicken flavored instant Ramen
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp Chili Garlic Sauce
1/4 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 tsp fish sauce
Homemade Peanut Sauce, which is 1 tbsp peanut butter, 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce (which you need to microwave for about 20 seconds so that you can stir the peanut butter and have the teriyaki sauce absorb into the peanut butter)
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp lime juice
1/3 cup of the chicken broth from the ramen cup (or 1/3 cup chicken broth)
1/2 tsp freeze dried chives, sprinkled on top for garnish

Remove the noodles from the ramen package and put them in a pot. Pour the water up to the fill line and put that water into the pot. Cook the noodles for about 3 minutes (or until done). When the noodles are done, grab a small strainer to separate the liquid from the noodles. Put a bowl on the bottom of the strainer before straining to be able to catch the liquid. Put the noodles back in the pot, along with 1/3 cup of the broth and the rest of the ingredients. Stir and cook until liquid has evaporated and noodles are hot. Enjoy!
