RAMEN 101: College Souper Food LAB

Welcome to AICC2 University.
Fall Semester Syllabus: RAMEN 101 LAB
Professor Kertney

Lecture: There's more than one way to eat your Ramen Noodles:

Notes:  For this particular recipe, you'll need a few dorm kitchenette"must haves" to kick-up your Ramen eating experence, Thai-style. Provided that you are fortunate enough to have a fridge and microwave, you will need the following things. You can EASILY find all of the items below at Walmart or Giant Eagle. Just put them on mom's shopping list!

Equation: 4S+2C = AMAZING THAI RAMEN NOODLES

1. Soy and/or teryaki Sauce
2. Sesame oil
3. Sweet Chili sauce
4. Seasoned rice wine vinegar
5. Corn Starch
6. Chicken flavored Ramen soup package

Make your noodles per package instructions via microwave or stove top. Drain 2/3 of the broth and keep 1/4 cup for yinzself in a microwave safe bowl. Add 1tbsp of cornstarch to it, mix and add the noodles. Then add 2 tablespoons of the chili sauce and 1 tbsp, each, of the other sauces and vinegar. Finally, add  a drop or two of the sesame oil to the noodles mixture, stir together, and microwave for 30 seconds... to thicken the cornstarch, making "the sauce."


LAB Warning: Be prepared to share! The smell from this recipe, alone, will have your flat-mates wanting a bite. I have made my fair share of Ramen variations from my college days and I think this particular recipe was my favorite... and everyone elses! This Thai Ramen recipe is super easy to make and, most importantly, CHEAP! It tastes like you ordered take out... but for waaay less. It's a pretty amazing recipe for us non-college folk, too!
