Everyone loves Top Ramen. I do. With a vengeance. However, it's jam packed with more sodium and MSG than you can shake a stick at and it wreaks havoc on your metabolism. So here's a way to make equally delicious ramen that won't fuck up your figure as much.
You will need:
1 Pack of your favorite flavor of Top Ramen
2 cups of Chicken Stock (or Beef or Fish depending on your favorite flavor)
Ginger grated of powdered (to taste)
Salt/Pepper (to taste)
White Pepper (to taste)
Celery Seed (to taste)
Thyme (to taste)
Onion Powder (to taste)
Garlic minced or powdered (to taste)
Red Pepper flakes (to taste)
Sriracha (optional)
- Begin by heating up 1 cup of water to a boil and add all of the ingredients except the noodles.
- Use as much as a pinch up to a quarter of the seasoning that comes in the packet of your ramen.
- When everything is boiling together add the noodles.
- When your noodles are soft and no longer stuck together, you're ready.
NOTE: Sriracha is a popular Thai chili sauce. It adds a great flavor but BEWARE. This shit is LETHAL as far as heat goes. Use wisely.
Also, when eating spring rolls, it's really good to mix it with Hoisen sauce.
EDIT! It has come to my attention that Sriracha is in fact NOT a Thai sauce but an American one invented by a Vietnamese dude. Thanks, Ricky! For fantastic reviews of Orlando's culinary offerings check out my pal Ricky's blog
