Ah ramen - the super-cheap staple of life. This recipe takes a product about as exciting as cardboard and makes it a decent, easy meal. It doesn't matter what 'flavor' ramen you choose, you'll be ditching the seasoning. Have you looked at the ingredients in those packets? It's mostly palm oil, salt and MSG. Even in my most desperately hungry college days, I never could put the whole pack in my cup'o'ramen.
Mats:
1 pack ramen noodles, seasoning packet discarded.
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into very thin ribbons, 1/4 of an inch thick or less
1/2 c broccoli, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 clove garlic, finely diced
1/2 c onion
4tsp soy sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp sugar
1 Tb unsalted nut of choice - almonds, cashews and peanuts work equally well.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Turn the heat off, add the block of ramen to the pot and let it sit for 2 minutes. Drain and set noodles aside.
In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar with 1/2c water.
In a medium sauce pan, heat 2 tsp oil on high. Add the onion and garlic, stir fry for 1 minute.
Add the pepper and broccoli, stir fry for another minute.
Add the soy sauce mixture, bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute.
Remove from heat.
Add the ramen noodles and mix thoroughly.
Top with your nut of choice
