Start with an inexpensive package of ramen noodle soup mix and end up with something close to gourmet! Recipe is easily multiplied. Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for even more flavor. Try seafood flavors with canned tuna or shrimp for a change of pace. The vegetables may be varied according to what you have on hand, including leftovers.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 (3-ounce) package chicken flavor ramen soup mix
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup sliced hearts of palm
- 1-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 can cooked chunk chicken, drained
- 1/4 cup frozen baby sweet peas or mixed vegetables (you may also used canned)
- Parmesan cheese
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Preparation:
Cook the ramen noodles separately according to package directions, reserving the flavoring packet for use below. Drain and keep warm. If you use frozen peas or vegetables, you can cook them in with the noodles.
While cooking the noodles, saute the onion and hearts of palm in a large frying pan until onion is soft. Add drained chicken chunks and heat until warmed through, taking care not to shred the chicken chunks. Stir in the contents of the ramen soup flavoring packet, and combine until mixed. Add the cooked, drained ramen noodles and peas. Toss until coated. Turn onto plates and top with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Yield: 2 servings
Note: Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Feel free to substitute different flavors of ramen soup mix and corresponding seafood (tuna and shrimp are good) or cooked meat.
