I want some recipies for a ramen noodle everynight budget!

[thesilenceofadam]

I made a ramen casserole last night. Left over roast chicken, rice, cheese, eggs and tortilla chips. In the oven at 400 for 30 minutes. Some hot sauce and it was awesome. Any other quicky secrets? Even if it sounds crazy, I game. I just don't eat fish. But my GF does....

I sometimes have chicken tortilla  Ramen.

It's easy Put tortilla chips or Doritos in the bottom of a bowl. Cut up cheese in small chunks and put over it. Then prepare the chicken Ramen as directed. When it's done pour it over the chips and cheese in the bowl. You can add parmesan if you want.

I find adding things like dried sweet peppers and things like that really liven up ramen noodles.

I like to mix mine with vegetables like spinnach, and any type of meat and hard boiled egg to make soup.

Buy some frozen cocktail shrimp, eggs, and green onions with your ramen.

Put a palm full of green sliced onions, ramen, a few shrimp, and crack the egg in a ceramic bowl.

break the yolk. Put in microwave.

Poof, you got some decent ramen soup.

My neighbor said she put some of McDonald's chicken nuggets, sweet n sour sauce, and some carrots in there. Like a little chinese thing with the noodles maybe?

I wouldn't advise eating Ramen Noodles because of all the sodium, but I guess if you're a starving college student they're OK.  Mix it with some chicken and veggies and you're good to go.  If you can afford to choose something better, please do.  You'll be grateful in the long run.

I agree with the healthy factor of ramen noodles which is completely going to contradict what I'm about to tell you.  If you've got kids - they will love this.  Dye your ramen noodles green.  Take a hot dog and splay it bout' 1/2 way down the middle 2-3 times.  When you boil the hot dog it curls up.  Put your ramen noodles in a bowl...put the hot dog on top of the noodles.  It will look like an octopus sitting on seaweed.  Add some gold fish crackers on the side to create a "sea" affect.

Heart Attack food for sure. Here's one that's a filler and my favorite quicky! Cook oriental ramen in the Microwave. Drain the water. Add the packet to taste. With out the water it can get too salty.  a squirt of mustard, two tbs of mayo, a tbs of sweet relish, last nights shredded beef or chicken, cheese, hot sauce  and mix well. Warm up some flour tortillas and make burritos. MMMMMMMMM.

it can be a healthy food if you let it be one. If you are lazy and blame your health misstep on something that comes in a basic form then really you are just hurting yourself. It is funny how people say they do not have any money for food and then they buy like five family sized ramen package and no vegetables or any ingredients to add on to their soup. People like that should just buy spaghetti and tomato sauce or better yet eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead of fiending for ramen noodles. Not to mention that some canned beans are cheaper in the long run.

Have you thought about canned tuna? It is pretty cheap and versatile. Would be anice change from ramen noodles or hamburger helper.

Here is a simple but yummy tuna patty/burger recipe:
for one person you would use one 5oz can of tuna (makes 1-2 patties)
drain the tuna (but keep the juice in a cup for later use)
cube 1 slice of day old bread
1/4 cup of crackers or bread crumbs or plain chips
1 egg
onion, celery are optional


Mix bread cubes, drained tuna, cracker crumbs, onion and celery if wanted, and 1 egg in a bowl. add any spices you like (garlic, salt, pepper, celery salt, etc.).Add tuna juice in as needed to get consistency needed for forming a patty.  Mix it all up and patty. Fry with oil (i like olive oil) for about 3 mins each side. Serve on bun with mayo, tomato, lettuce, or eat plain, whatever you like!

We use canned mackerel and this basic recipe! (Just remove the bones... or not. They're soft and easily crushed if you're lazy )


As for the ramen recipes, I'm so lame. Other than adding cheese occasionally or some frozen veggies, I've never done anything with them. So I might try some of these as well! (Not that we eat noodles very often at my house as a meal.)

Ramen Noodles with tuna and some mayonaise and some mixed vegetables is like a Ramen casserole.
