You'll find ramen noodles in the kitchen cabinets of many college students, bachelors and families with finicky children. They're easy to prepare and one of the cheapest meals you're likely to find. However, if you're only preparing these deep-fried instant noodles by the directions on the package, then you're missing out on the possibilities. Get creative with your ramen noodles.
Instructions
1. Send a package of raw ramen noodles for your child's school snack. Some people actually enjoy the uncooked version (actually, they're pre-cooked), particularly children. The teacher may not thank you for the mess, but it's a lot healthier than other snacks children eat.
2. Cook ramen noodles in your coffee maker for a creative cooking method or if you're lacking a pot or a microwave. Rinse out your coffee filter and carafe thoroughly before adding two cups of water to your coffee maker. Once all the water has entered pot, add a package of ramen noodles. After three minutes, they'll be ready to eat.
3. Add tidbits of cooked meat and assorted vegetables to cooked ramen for an instant dinner casserole.
4. Replace rice in any recipe with ramen noodles. Ramen adds spice to your stir fry dishes.
5. Eat ramen for breakfast. Top a bowl of cooked noodles with a few slices of cooked bacon and sunny-side up eggs for your own breakfast bowl.
6. Get creative with your desserts. This is when you can leave the flavor packets unopened. Instead, allow the noodles to mix with caramel or chocolate for a unique dessert. A Ramen Cookie Bouquet features the noodles combined with Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies.
