Ramen Noodles-ideas?

music83lover2001

I LOVE Ramen Noodles.  As a kid, I would eat them for lunch in the summer time.  As I got older, I realized that they were not very nutritious and were pretty high in calories.  I rarely eat them, but when DH has to work late (which is rare, too) I sometimes treat myself to some.  Usually, I just top with a little butter and enjoy, but I am wondering if anyone has any recipes that I could make them a little healthier so I could serve them as a quick, cheap dinner on occasion?

I love making this, except I make it with chicken (often rotisserie chicken) and add in a red bell pepper and maybe an extra carrot.

Alton Brown's Ramen Radiator- good with whatever seafood/veggies you like.

I had this the other day. I would think ramen could easily substitute?

well personally I would cut the butter because that's adding fat...I would just make half the pack and quarter of the seasoning packet

We ate Ramen growing up as a treat.  My mom knew they were not very healthy so she chopped up veggies (bean sprouts, bok choy, nappa, etc) and threw it into the soup.  Every now and then I also like to put an egg in there too.

With veggies - don't use the flavor pouch thatcomes with them, either. Way too high in sodium!

I'm late to this party but thought I would add that I love to eat them uncooked, crumbled on top of salad for a little crunch. Especially good mixed in a vinegar-based broccoli slaw. This way, you're not eating the whole pack at one sitting nor are you using the flavor packet.
