Basic Ramen Broth # 1

"Ramen noodles are great! They taste good, are quick to fix, inexpensive, nutritious, filling, and go well with almost any other food. The only thing wrong with them is the 'flavor pack'. Each package of Ramen is two servings so each of the two servings contains 800 mg of sodium. That's 33% of what even optimists say is allowable. Enter one of my heros, Ron Konzak ('The Book of Ramen', where I shamelessy stole this recipe.) Give this broth mix a try, you'll never use another 'flavor pack'. If you're like Me you will feel a bit guilty about dumping the unused 'flavor packs' in the landfill but it's better than eating the stuff."

directions

  • Mix the first 4 ingredients well.
  • Add to the noodles at the time the 'flavor pack' is called for.
  • If you're using Miso, DO NOT boil it! add it just before serving. Mix well. Boiling Miso kills it's vital nutrients.
  • If you're using Korean Black Bean Paste, add at the same time as the broth mix.Mix well.

  1. Those flavor packs are hideous. It never occured to me to "not" use it, however. I didn't use/have any miso or black bean paste. But I used this mix, adding some frozen shrimp and peas. Everyone in the office kept asking what I was eating - because it smelled so delish. Thanks for rescuing ramen for me!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 73 year old male. I live in the desert in Southeast Wasington. Yes, Virginia, Southeast Washington is Desert, Cacti, Sage Brush, Wile E. Coyote, the whole nine yards.The Columbia River flows through the middle of it and is its saving grace. Some of the jobs. I've held are Well Driller, Aircraft Machanic, Handyman, Electrician,Merchant Seaman, And most recently Long haul Driver.My hobbies are cooking, Kite making, and Good movies (plus anything that strikes my fancy) My first cookbook was Fanny Farmer Original Boston Cooking School Cookbook and its still the first of all of my cookbooks that I go to. It has the best Biscuit recipe going and the only change I make to its Cornbread recipe is to add a half teaspoon of Cayenne to bring out the flavor of the cornmeal. I injured my knee and have had the last year off and what I've done is go quietly mad. I'm now semi retired and try to figure out plan 'E'. A, B, C, and D phased out so it's time to move on, where, the hell ever, that is.
