6 Recipes To Jazz Up Ramen Noodles

Since I love to eat Ramen Noodles from time to time... I think that this Howcast video is informative and that the recipes are probably very tasty.

In Japan, each ramen noodle shop tries to distinguish itself by making a unique variation of the dish.

Here’s how to recreate the experience at home.



Your Ingredients

You will need packages of ramen noodles with seasoning packets (chicken, pork, and beef flavors)

eggs
chopped onion, carrots, and celery
fried pork chop
Alfredo sauce
soy sauce
sliced beef
mustard
chicken

Directions

Step 1: Add an egg

Egg it up! Bring the soup water to a boil. Add a chicken seasoning packet and a beaten egg and simmer until the egg is cooked. Add the noodles and cook them until tender.

Step 2: Make chicken soup

Try a chicken soup version. Bring the soup water to a boil. Add a chicken seasoning packet, chopped onion, carrots, and celery, and simmer until the vegetables are nearly cooked. Then add the noodles and cook them until tender.

Step 3: Add a fried pork chop

Try a pork addition. Cook the noodles according to the instructions, and then drain. Add a pork seasoning packet and top the noodles with a fried pork chop.

Step 4: Add Alfredo sauce

For an Italian flair, cook and drain the noodles, and then add Alfredo sauce.

Step 5: Serve with thinly sliced beef

Add punch with meat. Bring the soup water to a boil. Add beef seasoning packets, soy sauce, and thin slices of beef and simmer until the beef is cooked. Add the noodles and cook until tender.

Step 6: Add mustard and chicken

Spice it up! Brown chunks of chicken in a frying pan. Cook and drain the noodles, and then add a chicken seasoning packet, mustard, and the cooked chicken chunks.

Did you know? Ramen noodle soup was originally imported to Japan from China.

Always Enjoy!

Betty's Fresh Fruit Pizza Dessert Recipe

Here's another one of Betty's delicious desserts. She shows us how to prepare this easy recipe of Fresh Fruit Pizza just in time for the upcoming summer season. I hope you enjoy.



Ingredients for Pizza Crust

1 roll of store-bought cookie dough (Betty is using Pillsbury Chocolate Chip)


Directions

Preheat oven to 400-degrees.

Slice chilled cookie dough as shown in the video and place rounds in a concentric layer until you cover the entire pizza tray.

Using your hands, press down dough until it's all together to make one large cookie.

Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 to 14 minutes.

Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Pizza Topping Ingredients

1 stick butter or margarine
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
1 (1 lb) box confectioners' sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla

strawberries (rinsed and halved)
fresh pineapple (peeled, cored and chunked)
kiwi fruit
blueberries (in season) or seedless grapes (rinsed and halved)

Directions

Place room temperature butter and cream cheese into a large mixing bowl.

Slowly add confectioners' sugar to cream cheese mixture and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Spread mixture over baked cookie dough leaving a bit of crust to show.

Arrange strawberries (or largest fruit) around the perimeter of the fruit pizza.

As shown in video, continue adding each fruit in circular layers until pizza is attractive and filled in.

Using a pizza cutter or long knife, cut and place triangles on serving plates.


Always Enjoy!
