In today's economy, you have to make every dollar you have go as far as you can. Especially if you are a college student or on your own for the first time. One thing that college students seem to live on these days is Ramen noodles. They come in a variety of flavors already, but after awhile, I think they would become tedious and boring.
Being a chef, I always try to think of ideas to improve on and revitalize an old dish. I looked over some ideas and come up with some yummy ideas that could turn a boring Ramen noodle meal into an interesting experience. Here are a couple to try this week.
Beef 'n Broccoli
Beef flavored Ramen noodles
1/2 cup cubed or strips of cooked beef
1 cup cut frozen broccoli
1 stem spring onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Soy sauce to taste
Cook noodles as directed, except leave the seasoning packet out. Drain most of the water from the noodles. Add the beef, broccoli, season packet, garlic, and pepper. Stir together. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle chopped spring onion on top. Season with soy sauce to taste.
Taco Ramen
Beef flavored Ramen noodles
1/2 pound cooked ground beef
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1 small Roma tomato, chopped
1 stem spring onion, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheese
Taco sauce
Sour cream
Cook noodles as directed, except leave the seasoning packet out. Drain most of the water form the noodles. Add the seasoning packet, cooked drained ground beef, and chili powder. Transfer to a bowl and top with chopped tomato and spring onion, shredded cheese, taco sauce and sour cream. Add a few tortilla chips for some crunch, if desired.
