Recipes

Spicy Oriental Ramen

Cook as normal. After cooking, add two dashes of curry powder, a dash of pepper, a healthy dash of soy sauce, and just a taste of garlic powder. This really spices things up and adds a strong oriental taste to the dish.

Mixed Company Ramen

Before cooking, get a can of water chestnuts and a celery stalk, sliced. Cook as normal. About one minute into cooking, add the vegetables, along with a strong dash of pepper and a healthy dash of soy sauce. Throwing the vegetables in at this point lets the vegetables get nice and hot, but still remain crunchy. This turns out very well, and often I combine these two recipes to make a very spicy vegetable oriental ramen.
