How to prepare Ramen Noodles for Ramen Recipes.

Ramen Noodle recipes require the ramen to be already prepared. The quickest and most cost-effective way to use ramen noodles is straight from those cheap packets at the store. 

They are good and come together quickly. I usually microwave my ramen. I fill a bowl and add 2 cups of water. I microwave for 3 minutes, stir and microwave for 1 minute more. Then I drain the pasta.

Spicy Sesame Noodles Tips

Proteins- Chicken and spicy beef go amazing with ramen noodles and will quickly remind you of your Asian favorites! Another great additive is seafood like shrimp or an alternative protein like eggs. 

Vegetables – Crispy green beans, thin slices of carrots, Chinese cucumbers, or something fun like watercress provides color and texture. All of these (and so many more!) are yummy additions. 

Toppings – Try slices of green onions, red pepper, peanuts, or hot sauce. 

Various other ingredients – Coconut milk, fish sauce, or sesame oil can be added during cooking to mix up the flavors. 

What should you do with the Ramen Noodle Packet?

You can add the spice packet back in or save it for another recipe. While this recipe doesn’t put it back in, it can provide plenty of flavors to make that choice. Totally up to you!
