Ham Cheese Ramen Noodles _ Cheap Budget Meal Food

HAM & CHEESE RAMEN NOODLES ^_^ CHEAP BUDGET MEAL

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup water in a pan.
• Put noodles in water.
• Set noodles and water to boiling.
• Once noodles have broken up rip the ham in little bite size pieces and place over the noodles.
• Just before too much water evaporates remove from stove. I like just about a tablespoon of water leftover.
• Add seasoning packet and stir around well.
• Top with cheese, let melt and enjoy!
• Important! Make sure you keep a close eye on this recipe as it cooks very fast.

CHILI & CHEESE RAMEN WONDER

Steps:

• Get a 3-quart casserole with a lid, and put about 6 cups of water in it, cover it and stick it in the microwave for about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, crush the packages of ramen slightly, carefully open and remove the seasoning packets, which you won't need.
• (Collect'em, trade'em with your friends. I have 47 assorted seasoning packets now!) Set aside the ramen for now.
• Open the cans of chili and the tomatoes.
• Do not drain the tomatoes: you'll need the juice in this or it might be kind of dry.
• If the cheese is sliced or in a chunk, break or cut it up into small bits that will melt easily.
• Take the casserole out of the microwave, dump in the ramen noodles, pushing all the bits down into the water, breaking it up a bit more if necessary.
• Cover and return to microwave oven, cook for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Check to see if the ramen noodles seem mostly done.
• (You don't want them mushy. Okay, maybe you do, but I don't) If they seem done, drain well.
• The lid on my casserole is not a tight fit, so I just hold the lid on and turn the whole things sideways so the water drains out.
• Dump in the chili and tomatoes, and toss well.
• I used two large spoons to do this.
• Cover and return to microwave, cook on HIGH for 5 minutes or until hot throughout.
• When you remove the casserole from the microwave, put your side dish in to heat up.
• Then sprinkle the chili ramen with cheese, replace cover, and let stand until cheese melts.
• By the time the side dish is hot, the cheese should be melted nicely.
• Now, check to see if they got that table set, or if you're gonna put this in the fridge for tomorrow night's dinner!

ORIENTAL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Break up noodles while still in package.
• In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil.
• Add to the boiling water, the broken ramen noodles and the seasonings from 1 flavoring packet.
• Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes.
• In a frying pan, saute chicken in butter. Sprinkle with the other seasoning packet and the ginger.
• Stir in carrots and broccoli.
• Cook and stir 2 minutes (I usually cook a little longer).
• Toss with cooked noodles.
• Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (peanuts are good too, and fresh chopped tomatoes).
