Chicken Ramen

Thursday, 10 January 2013


Lunchtime. Today. Chicken Ramen Noodles.


Slurrrp!

Ramen noodles cooked with chilli, ginger, coriander and spring onions. Not bad for a lady who hates cooking and do-able in 5 mins unlike Jamie Oliver's 15 minute meals which repeatedly take me 45 mins.

Like Jamie says - you need to be prepared .....

  • Boil kettle of water
  • Peel foil lid of pot
  • Pour water in
  • Cover pot with foil lid
  • Wait 4 mins
  • Dish out
  • Chicken Ramen - Ta dah!

Bet you thought I'd made that little bowl of goodness up there didn't you? Well no sirreee! Why do that when you can boil a kettle and eat in less than 5 minutes!

Just hanging around waiting ....

I was talking to my friend L and she said "Have you seen those cup noodles in Sainsburys? They cost £2 each! Who'd buy one of those at that price?" Err ... ME!

  1. Is it wrong that I've just eaten a twix and I could so eat that right now - starving!

  2. Yum - love noodles - and anything with is better with spring onions and coriander - still can't call them scallions and cilantro after 13 years here!

    1. Scallions and cilantro? That's the kind of thing that throws me in a cookbook! I didn't know you'd been gone 13 years!

  3. Oh that looks lovely! But I am a teensy bit disappointed not to see you in your pinny cooking up a storm! Avx

    1. I do not cook up a storm ... ever. I just about tolerate cooking. I have a mild phobia of poisoning people.

    1. I've also got the other two flavours - I want to really try the pho as I have no idea what it is or maybe I know it by another name but not aware.

  7. Got the Wagamamas cook book for Christmas. Nice pics but looks a bit time consuming. Will probably stay in the cupboard......I may buy your version of the ramen instead!!!

    1. Any recipe which has ingredients and instructions going over one page is a no go for me. I do not like cooking! I like shopping though.

  8. Ha ha... hey there is nothing wrong with a nice quick cooking fix! Laughed so hard with your comparison to Jamie Oliver's version and the 'preparation' steps.

    1. Oh the hubs keeps throwing me these "15 min" recipes which I translate as between 30 mins and 45 mins instead so when it comes to feeding myself - quick is the way to go! Quick and convenient!

  9. I can't believe these came out of a pot!!!! Impressed - did they taste as good as they looked?x

    1. They weren't that bad actually to say they came out of a pot although I would probably add a tad more water to dilute the soup base (a little salty otherwise). But on the whole - I'd have them again ... infact I bought the other flavours to try as well!
