OMG.
Well, guess what? It RULED THE WORLD. We both pretty much freaked for this meal. Supposedly it served 4-6, but - uh - it served 2. I used the suggestion to use tofu instead of seitan, so I dry-fried the tofu cubes while I was prepping the veggies. Basically, you use the ramen noodles without the spice packets, then you add them to your stir fried veggies (onion, daikon, carrots, shiitakes, sugar snaps...). The recipe is quick and easy and super yums. I pretty much cannot wait to make it again.
While we're on the subject of that book - here's another recent dinner I made from it. Korean BBQ Tofu, Spicy Asparagus, and Korean Potatoes. It was a really great meal, and a good combo, but those Korean Potatoes pretty much stole the show. What an excellent recipe! Spicy, sweet, cooked with onions and shiitake mushrooms, they were just dynamite. We both saved our potatoes for last, since it was our favorite part of the meal!

ReplyDeleteWow, I love ramen .. this is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteyeah, it really blew my mind. taking something good to The Next Level!
DeleteWhoa whoa whoa. This post sent me running to my cookbook shelf, and yes! we have that book! But why is it so clean and unused? Got to change that.
ReplyDeleteAndrea! Yeah, I have made quite a few delicious dinners from this book!! I am quite fond of it!
DeleteHaven't got this cook book but looking at those two meals it's now on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteyeah, I really like this book, Jasmine! there are so many flavors and ideas to explore in it!
DeleteI don't have that cookbook yet, but I'm going to see if they have it at my library. The ramen sounds so good! When I was in elementary school and junior high, ramen was one of the few things I could cook. I way overdid it in eating it and couldn't choke down ramen for years after that. I'd say I haven't had it in over 20 years! But after seeing your picture, I've got a hankering for it!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I also went through a major Ramen phase, I think it was in high school. I hardly ever eat it anymore, but it is my #1 go-to comfort food when I have a cold. It's the best part about having a cold, in fact! :)
Deletei LOVE taking ramen and turning it from a poor college food into an amazing grown-up meal!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a ramen recipe like that! It sounds excellent, same with the korean potatoes. Such awesome starchy food!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, belatedly, my dear!
