"Taught to me by a good friend over late nights in front of old movies on the tube. The wonderful thing about this recipe, in my opinion, is that it is as versatile as a set of Lego blocks. It's a ton of fun to tinker with the ingredients. Use whatever you have lying around - the only essential thing is the egg-coated ramen with one-half pack of seasoning. Multiply it for friends, or double it for yourself - because if you add another egg and a sausage link it's even great for breakfast. Oh, and I don't have a wok, so I use an 4-quart cooking pan when I multiply this for my kids."

I love the simplicity and ease of this recipe. You could definitely make many variations. I tripled the recipe, used 2 cups of chopped chicken, chicken flavored ramen..1/2 the amount, and darned if it wasn't pretty good. I also want to point out how wonderfully inexpensive this could be to make! This is not gourmet...but is sure to please as a last minute meal, or even just because you like it meal!
