Crunchy Cheese Ramen Recipes

CRUNCHY CHEESE RAMEN

Steps:

• Split the dry noodles along the seam so you end up with 2 flat sections.
• Use fingertips to moisten top surface of the dry noodles, too much water and end result will be chewy.
• Sprinkle a small amount of the seasoning packet over the wet noodles.
• Top with cheese.
• Place on microwave safe plate and cook for 15-30 seconds until cheese melts.
• Enjoy the crunchy creation!

CHILI & CHEESE RAMEN WONDER

Steps:

• Get a 3-quart casserole with a lid, and put about 6 cups of water in it, cover it and stick it in the microwave for about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, crush the packages of ramen slightly, carefully open and remove the seasoning packets, which you won't need.
• (Collect'em, trade'em with your friends. I have 47 assorted seasoning packets now!) Set aside the ramen for now.
• Open the cans of chili and the tomatoes.
• Do not drain the tomatoes: you'll need the juice in this or it might be kind of dry.
• If the cheese is sliced or in a chunk, break or cut it up into small bits that will melt easily.
• Take the casserole out of the microwave, dump in the ramen noodles, pushing all the bits down into the water, breaking it up a bit more if necessary.
• Cover and return to microwave oven, cook for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Check to see if the ramen noodles seem mostly done.
• (You don't want them mushy. Okay, maybe you do, but I don't) If they seem done, drain well.
• The lid on my casserole is not a tight fit, so I just hold the lid on and turn the whole things sideways so the water drains out.
• Dump in the chili and tomatoes, and toss well.
• I used two large spoons to do this.
• Cover and return to microwave, cook on HIGH for 5 minutes or until hot throughout.
• When you remove the casserole from the microwave, put your side dish in to heat up.
• Then sprinkle the chili ramen with cheese, replace cover, and let stand until cheese melts.
• By the time the side dish is hot, the cheese should be melted nicely.
• Now, check to see if they got that table set, or if you're gonna put this in the fridge for tomorrow night's dinner!

CRUNCHY RAMEN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add almonds and sunflower kernels; cook until toasted, about 4 minutes. Cool., In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, onions and red pepper. In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, sugar, pepper, contents of ramen seasoning packets and remaining oil. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Break noodles into small pieces. Just before serving, stir in noodles, almonds and sunflower kernels.

PERFECT INSTANT RAMEN

Steps:

• Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the noodles and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flavor packet, stir, and continue to cook for another 30 seconds.
• Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the egg. Do not stir; pull the noodles over the egg and let sit for one minute to poach.
• Carefully transfer everything to a serving bowl, add the butter, cheese and sesame seeds and mix. Garnish with the scallions if desired.
