Recipe - Homemade Chinese/Ramen Noodles

[kriadydragon]

For those who want a little something more than just the packaged stuff, but that's easy to make. I came up with this when I was searching for an easy homemade Ramen Noodle recipe, but the only recipe I could find still contained ingredients I didn't have on hand (and I wanted the soup now.

3 and a half cups of either vegetable broth (if you want something healthy), beef broth or water with beef bullion cubes. The beef gives it more flavor, IMO.

3 oz. of either Ramen noodles or Chow Mein Stir fry Noodles. I like the stir fry noodles myself because they absorb a lot of the flavor of the broth.

1 teaspoon of soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon of chili powder (I heap the chili powder a little because I like the extra spiciness).

1/4 teaspoon of powdered ginger.

2 Green onions (optional)

While bringing liquid to a boil (or after the bullion is dissolved) add soy sauce, chili powder and ginger. Bring to a boil and make sure all the powders have been dissolved. Cook noodles for how ever long the package says (usually three minutes). Add sliced green onions for garnish.

This stuff is goooood, with a much stronger flavor than the packaged stuff. It really clears you sinuses, I kid you not. For even stronger flavor, double the amount of soy, chili and ginger, but be warned it has even more of a kick. I'm still experimenting with this so it's open to all kinds of possibilities. One thing I would like to try is adding frozen mixed veggies and/or sliced mushrooms, so if you would like to give those additions a try let me know how it turns out.
