But the noodles themselves... *making "ewwwwwwww, I can't believe
anybody would eat THAT" look*
My mom had two great cooking talents -- ruining perfectly good food and
cooking the flavor out of anything -- and I can't get past the
extruded-white-flour-without-any-substance taste of the ramen noodles
themselves. It's either a blessing or a curse depending on how you look
at it. I learned to cook out of desperation. My sisters still are not
that good at it -- one doesn't cook at all any more and the other looks
at a recipe as a straitjacket and doesn't even know how to do things
like substitute marjoram, basil, or rosemary for oregano.
I can eat rice (brown, wild, jasmine, or basmati, sometimes raw white
rice, I but can't stand Minute Rice or Uncle Ben's Condemned Rice for
the same reasons as stated above), wheat cooked in the rice cooker,
cracked wheat/bulgur, millet, couscous, or some pasta, but ramen noodles
just taste like it's artificial food to me. Sort of like what you get
at McDonald's or Denny's.

Curry powder is another good option. |

Haven't been to IHOP in years, and seriously, I won't knock anybody else
for liking it -- it just reminds me too much of the stuff that
reportedly passed for food that I had to grow up on. I could tell you
horror stories.....

I guess I was lucky - or not as the case may be. My mother was an
excellent cook, as were both grandmothers. My great aunt and her
daughter were others close to us, and both of them were great cooks. I
rarely cook, but somehow I don't do bad. I remember years ago making
some chicken soup from scratch, and one of my friends scarfing it down
proclaiming it was best (or at least close) he'd ever had - which of
course could mean his mom was a bad cook. My MIL, however, isn't that
great a cook IMHO. She cooks, but she does't seem to know how to add any
flavor. Even she was impressed with my chicken soup. I do best with
stuff you make in large quantities, like chili, spagetti sauce, soup,
potato salad. SHHH. Don't tell - most people think I can't cook.

I love to cook and I think I cook pretty well, so we are just going to have
to disagree on the ramen:).
Regular white rice is pretty tasteless also, but that's a good thing for a
lot of recipes. It acquires and soaks up the flavor of whatever you add to
it without adding saltiness or changing the flavor.
That's the reason I like the ramen noodles, plus that they're quick to cook,
convenient, and very inexpensive.

You didn't have a mom who did horrendous things to food and cooked
practically nothing but bland, tasteless food your whole childhood.

I prefer brown rice.

And high in fat and salt, neither of which I tolerate well. |

Well, I'm not Anne, I'm Peggy but this is my version of the Ramen
Noodle Salad. The recipe says it serves 12, doubled, but it serves
more than that. This is always a bit hit wherever I take it. ENJOY!
INGREDIENTS:
· 1 (16 ounce) package coleslaw mix
· 2 (3 ounce) packages chicken
flavored ramen noodles
· 1 bunch green onions, chopped
· 1 cup sunflower seeds
· 1/2 cup white sugar
· 1/4 cup vegetable oil
· 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
DIRECTIONS:
In a large salad bowl, combine the slaw, broken noodles, green onions,
and sunflower seeds.
Whisk together the sugar, oil, vinegar and ramen seasoning packets.
Pour over salad and toss to evenly coat. Refrigerate until chilled.
Serves 6.
Note: Doubles very nicely.

Very yummy, quite filling, and I think the total cost is less than 20
cents.

It all sounds good, especially Ann's cabbage recipe thing, do you have it?

Yeah, sorry I'm late with mine, but I've had a kitchen disaster of
leaking pipes, so I'm undergoing a major remodel and couldn't find the
recipe...
Here's what I have:
CHINESE SALAD - Debbie Harper
1-16 oz. bag of coleslaw mix (cut green cabbage with red cabbage and
carrots)
2-3 green onions, chopped
1-4 oz. bag of salted sunflower kernels
1-2.5 oz. bag of sliced almonds
1 package Oriental Ramen noodles (uncooked) - Save the seasoning pack!
1/2 C of white vinegar
1/2 C of cooking oil
1/2 C of sugar (I use equivalent-measure sugar substitute)
Using a wooden mallet, break up the Ramen noodles. Mix in the cabbage,
green onions, sunflower seeds and almonds. Mix the vinegar, oil,
Oriental seasoning pack from the noodles and sugar together to make
the dressing. Heat the dressing in the microwave to dissolve the
sugar and seasoning. Let cool. Mix the dressing into the salad and
chill for at least one hour.
NOTE: I double the recipe so there will be leftovers as everyone I
know who has had this just raves about it, and it disappears quickly
at my house. 8-)
