Top Ramen Plus

 

Mr. P decided that this should be called Top Ramen Plus, although he no longer eats this with us since he has went off the Vegan deep end :) This is something my mom used to make whenever she had left over Pork. I make this recipe whenever I have left over chicken, turkey, or pork. I love it most with left overs from the BBQ like in this recipe today I used leftover BBQ turkey breast tenderloin. This recipe is very simple but very yummy, its one of my comfort food because it reminds me of being a kid and helping mom make it! This recipe will have no exact measurements since it is a something that you make to your tastes, you don't like something don't add it, you want something else add it, you only have 1lb of meat make a smaller batch, have a bunch make a larger batch, its up to you.

Where to start:

leftover chicken, turkey, or pork usually about a pound or so

carrots, celery, onion (basic soup start) about a 1/2-1 cup each

Top Ramen packets (today I used 3 packets)

hard boiled eggs ( I used 4 today)

Soy Sauce to taste ( a few Tbs)

seasonings to taste

I always use a boullion paste (pic below) to get the flavors where I like

What to do:

Saute your carrots, onions, and celery in a little olive oil or butter until they are translucent and soft (15-25 minutes). Add the water and seasoning packets from the Top Ramen package (2 cups of water for each packet). Bring to a boil and add ramen noodles. Once noodles are done add meat. Taste broth and adjust to your tastes, I always add a few TBS of soy sauce and salt and pepper and chicken boullion. Stir in sliced eggs and serve.

That's it, super easy. You can add what you want or take away what you want. It's not fancy, but its something we all love to have every once it awhile, and a great way to use your leftovers :)
