Ramen Noodles
So, like I mentioned earlier, I’m having a very uninspired week. Tonight there was an outdoor soccer practice with temperatures around 40 degrees. So, when we got home, everyone was wanting soup for dinner.
Two of us had ramen noodles. I always eat these with the water drained out. I put the packet into the water as the noodles cook so it’s not so salty. But, I make a spicy sauce that I toss the noodles in.
I’ve been perfecting it for a while and here’s what I like best. I use some brown mustard, red wine vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix it up so the vinegar and mustard combine. Toss the noodles so they are covered. It helps spice up what can be a bland meal.
There are so many things you can do with ramen. I ran across this blog recently http://www.mattfischer.com/ramen/. There are some pretty good ideas. I especially liked the Bailout Ramen post. It puts a whole new perspective on the bailout.
If anyone has their own ramen recipes, I’d love to see them. If I post it, you’ll get all the credit for it. Let’s have them!
I love ramen noodles boiled with bok choy, napa cabbage, peas and diced ham. All I do is add lemon and sometimes butter. Yummy!!! I think I may try your recipe too.
