Reply #29: Ramen Noodle soup...with xtras

[yellowdogintexas]

OK pick your favorite Ramen flavor
add 1/2 pack of those frozen oriental vegetables
add some hot chili oil (or sesame oil and crushed red pepper flakes)
simmer until the noodles and veg are done.

Instant meal, and when ramen are 10 for $1 you can stock up.


another good one: I always save any leftover pasta or rice in the freezer, just freeze it in a ziploc bag, then add it to things.

I dump the frozen rice in my veggie soup or my chicken soup, maybe about 15 minutes before serving, so it doesn't decompose in the broth

Use the leftover pasta to make those nice chicken and pasta things.
example: cut up a chicken breast, saute w/onion and garlic and whatever other seasonings you prefer, slice up some squash or zucchini or asparagus or broccoli over the chicken, add some mushrooms if you want and some water or broth, cover and simmer until done. While the chicken is cooking, drop the frozen pasta in boiling water and drain; add to the chicken stuff, and you are ready.

You can also saute leftover angel hair pasta in some olive or peanut oil, add the frozen oriental veg and hot peppers and sesame oil for a quick hot lunch.
