Oh my...the list of ramen recipes are endless. If you type in "ramen" in the Search for questions: box in Yahoo Answers, you will come up with 2713 matches. That should give you a great start!
Here is my favorite:
Saimin (same as ramen in Hawaii)
This Hawaiian-style soup—a melding of Japanese and Chinese ingredients—is island comfort food. Any good Asian market should have all the ingredients called for in this recipe.
1 lb. fresh saimin noodles
4 cups dashi (Japanese soup stock)
4 oz. kamaboko (fish cake), thinly sliced
8 oz. char sui (Chinese roasted pork), thinly sliced
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
6 green onions, cleaned and chopped
Soy sauce, ground pepper, and/or tabasco, chili pepper water (optional)
1. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain noodles and divide among four soup bowls.
2. While noodles cook, heat dashi over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Pour dashi over noodles.
3. Garnish soup with fish cake, pork, spinach, and onions, dividing ingredients evenly among bowls. Serve with soy sauce if desired.
Make 4 bowls.
Try the following book (linked below)...
You can use ramen noodles as a basic starter / starch to just about ANY meal ... simply substitute it for any dish which requires rice, pasta, etc.
RAMEN HAS MSG THAT IS WHY IT TASTES SOOO GOOD!!!
this isn*t completely ramen related, but if you get the kind at the store and take out the flavoring packet (what ever kind is your favorite) and make plain popcorn and put the flavoring packet on the popcorn, it is sooooo delicious. And different. And not very fattening.
This one is my favorite and very easy!
Chicken Ramen
1 egg
Cook ramen noodles on the stove top. In a cup mix up the egg, then slowly pour the egg mixture into the boiling soup and noodles. Let it cook for a couple seconds, then stir it all together and pour into bowl. It is so rich and delish!
My favorite is the Japanese Sapporo Ichiban Original. Ichiban means number one! You can pick it up at most oriental food markets. You should try it, it's sooo good. You can also add some simple ingredients like: chopped green onions, bean sprouts.... I usually break the noodles in four right from the package. Boil enough hot water that will fit into your bowl, add the dry noodles, sauce, and veggies and your noodles will be ready in 3 minutes.
