With her help, we've figured out what's "good" and my shopping stays pretty limited to those items. One of her recommendations is fresh ramen noodles. I don't really like it as a soup, so I've worked with it a little each time I make it, and finally have come to something I like. Inside the package is three individual servings of noodles, with three soup base packets.
- Vegetable oil
- Garlic
- Onion powder
- Salt & Pepper
- Chili powder (my fiance likes spicey!)
- Vegetables of your choice (I used snow peas, broccoli, carrots, 1/2 to 1 cup of each)
- Chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes (I used 2)
- Ramen noodles (I used all three servings from the package)
- Sesame seeds
- Corn starch, if desired for thickening
I cooked the ramen according to the package directions (in English!), which is 1 1/2 minutes in boiling water. The soup base calls for mixing with 1 1/4 cups boiling water, but I think that is just for one serving. I was making all three, but since I wanted more of a sauce than a soup, I added about 2 cups of water to the 3 combined packets of soup base.
When the chicken is almost done, add the soup base to the pan. Add some corn starch and allow to thicken for a few minutes. Combine drained noodles, veggies, chicken and sauce, and...
voila!
