I have discovered Ramen noodles! They are so inexpensive it's great! I don't use the packet that comes with them, I usually boil them along with some sort of vegetable mix. I pour the noodles and frozen veggies into a bowl (a serving size) while I start the water. Then I just boil them all together and strain the water off. Then I sprinkle parmesan cheese over it.It works for a great light evening meal. I throw the packet away as it has msg and all kinds of salt in it. I have heard it would make a good addition to soups though!

What's your favorite Ramen noodle dish?

Hey.. gotta love 'em.. they are like 12-15 cents a package; and I get two meals out of each package as I only use a half at a time!

I do the same thing, I ditch the sodium bombs and go for tuna noodle casserole. I usually use 2 packages for a family of 4, add some cream of mushroom soup and a can of tuna. I love them because it don't takes a couple minutes for the noodles to be ready and it's great when you want something in a hurry. I also use tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese, sometimes I use ranch dressing and add chicken. There are so many different combinations for noodles. I like your idea with veggies, I haven't tried that but I would like that with ranch dressing too.

Thanks for all the ideas! I love Ramen noodles because they are so inexpensive. I have tried them with tomato sauce. I'll have to give a couple of the other ideas a shot or two! Thanks!

hi mac^^;;
i do have some ramyeon noodles but only eat them for emergencies. i used to really like it before but got tired of the taste. I buy those Korean ramyeon (neoguri and shin ramyeon) but it cost $0.80-$1 but it think it's safer and better than those chinese ramyeon.
anyway, i would love to try your way because i love cheeserasp


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1223)   ranked 505 out of 11,233 in cooking  3 months ago

lol! I love cheese too! I enjoy my little ramen noodle dish. I haven't heard of the other kind though. I don't use the packet which I think is very unhealthy, but the noodles are a great quick meal now and then! It's great in the evenings when I don't want to overload!

Hi macdlingolinger, I sometimes get them as a snack for my son when he's hungry after school but like you just use the noodles without the pre packaged rehydrated seasonings. However they are the lazy option rather than the cheap option as cost almost one Euro a packet which is more than one dollar so not the cheapest option as with you.


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1223)   ranked 505 out of 11,233 in cooking  3 months ago

They are the lazy option here too! That's why I like 'em. thumbup But they are also the inexpensive choice as well. THey are about 12-15 cents a package and I only use a half a package at a time when it's just me! That means I get my whole evening meal for only about a dollar if you add in the veggies and the parmesan cheese. Actually, it's more like about 50 cents for the meal...

I have tried them with the cheese from mac and cheese and they were delicious. But, right now I think i'm gonna try what you said and make it with vegetables and parmesan cheese. It sounds delicious.


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1223)   ranked 505 out of 11,233 in cooking  3 months ago

It is delicious! It's also cheap and easy!! I hope you like it. Just buy a package of frozen veggetables. I get different kinds. Like one time I will get one with asparagus and the next time maybe with broccoli. I mix it up that way. And the bag is like a pound so it will last several meals like that!

Here's a way to make them while still using the seasoning packet it comes with.

boil the noodles till their done
strain the noodles and put them back in the pan
add 1/8 tablespoon butter an 1/4 cup milk
add the seasoning and stir the noodles

and there you have it
tasty ramen noodles


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1223)   ranked 505 out of 11,233 in cooking  3 months ago

I used to make them with the packet for my kids. I didn't add the milk or butter. I just cooked them for the three minutes then drained the noodles. I then added the seasoning packet. I usually added a side dish like some ranch style beans and some home canned green beans... there you go; quick and easy once again!

I usually boil them with chicken stock and add spring onions, pepper, and pieces of chicken. I love them because they are so cheap and can be cooked within minutes and you have a meal.


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1223)   ranked 505 out of 11,233 in cooking  3 months ago

That sounds good too! I haven't ventured out too far with them, but I'm getting some pretty good ideas here!!

hello macdingolinger,
wow! that is so economical. i do cook ramen too but we eat for breakfast. i add either chicken, ground pork, ground beef or boiled egg in it. aside from that i put vegetables like carrot, celery, red or green pepper, onion, garlic and onion leaf or leak. just add salt and pepper to season it. my family loves it too. it's good for snack as well together with siopao and bread. thumbup


myLot reputation of 98/100. macdingolinger (1223)   ranked 505 out of 11,233 in cooking  3 months ago

What is "siopao"? I haven't heard of that. I also never heard of eating ramen noodles for breakfast. I'm game for about everything though! My son-in-law mixes boiled eggs with noodles. I haven't tried it yet; but maybe I will soon now!


myLot reputation of 96/100. robert19ph (3237)   ranked 2,647 out of 11,233 in cooking  3 months ago

siopao is a steamed bun with meat inside. i think you are going to like it. cool

I don't guess I've ever seen them offered in a restaurant. But then, of course I don't eat out very often anyway! How were they served in the restaurant? Was it with cheese, or vegetables, or some sort of meat. I guess I have seen them in Chinese food places now that I think about it!
