RSSRamen Noodle Salad Recipe
 Like many of you who has a busy and hectic lifestyle, I eat too much unhealthy food, for example: instant noodles or ramen. My pantry is constantly choked full of various kinds of instant noodles: imported ramen noodle from Asia and my favorite American cup noodles. The alarming thing about eating ramen noodle is not about the noodle, but the fact that I'm addicted to the flavoring packet in every single ramen: Penang laksa, Thai tom yum, curry, miso, and so on. I always slurp the MSG-loaded and "sure-to-make-you-bald" (my late mother used to tell me) ramen noodle soup to the very last drop...  When my conscience hits, I try to make my ramen noodle healthy to disguise my guilt for eating malnutrition food. That's when I try to rid the flavoring packet and make ramen noodle salad.Ramen noodle salad is a very simple recipe--as the name suggests, it's a quick dish that you can whip up by combining ramen noodle + salad. I make my ramen noodle salad with shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, spicy chili sauce (you can also use Tabasco sauce) and some seasonings. A simple recipe with almost no artificial flavorings--OK, I confess, just a wee bit. The next time if you feel bad about consuming too much instant noodle, try my ramen noodle salad recipe. It's actually not half bad. Recipe: Ramen Noodle Salad Ingredients: 1 pack ramen (discard the seasoning packet) 2 oz / 1 cup shredded cabbage Some chopped scallions 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Sri Racha chili sauce or Tabasco sauce 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon Maggie seasoning (or a pinch of salt) A pinch of sugar 1/4 teaspoon of white and black sesame seeds (toasted) Method: Bring water to boil and prepare the ramen noodle. Boil for about 2 minutes or until it's cooked. Drain the water, set aside and let cool. Transfer the ramen noodle to a bowl and toss it with the shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, and other seasonings with a salad tong. Garnish with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve cold.

post a commentI think the flavor packet is the best part too! It sure saves the hassle of making your own stock, buying sauces... Everything's instant! But yeah, even if you don't go bald, it's still important to keep it healthy :) So that salad looks like a delicious respite!
.
with the hectic life that we had.. we seldom cook...
we go out makan saja... hee hee
but still getting fatter and fatter...
.
Yeah, same here, my pantry is full with various kinds of instant noodles too. Your healthy ramen looks good, have to give it a try!!
.
I love ramen noodle but yes, it's not healthy to eat. I am going to try your ramen noodle recipe soon. Thank you.
.
I am in college and so you can imagine how much ramen noodle I eat. This is a very creative ramen noodle recipe that I can try--great for poor students like myself. LOL.
.
Sometimes this kind of fast food is just what I need. I like your recipe. Will try.
.
I'm the same! It's too exhausting to cook a lavish meal each night. I LOVE 30 minute meals.
.
You make a packet of instant ramen look like fancy food with this salad. I'm also a big fan of instant ramen and eat it far too often than I should. And yeah, the MSG packet is bad and I've been told that the noodles are also bad because they've been fried too. Double warning about instant ramen, eh? ;)
.
me too!!! Instant noods are my staple, and I slurp on the msg laden soup too! But mine are sloppy hehe, not culinary art like yours ;) :P I love the recipes bar at the side!
.
Ramen noodles are great convenience food, as long as you throw away those horrible seasoning packets. I always have some in my pantry.
.
I love noodle salads! My favourite is Japanese soba noodles with sesame oil - yum!
.
Some shredded steamed meat or shredded omelette would be great! I make my instant noodles pretty premium with extra extra ingredients that can be found in the fridge just to avoid feeling guilty about eating them ;o) I find instant noodles delicious.
.
I eat instant noodles from time to time too! My favourites are those Korean ramen!! yum yum... never leave the bowl not empty!!
.
Yum, I love sprucing up ramen to make yummy dishes like this!
.
seems like not hard to do it. if i am free and have nothing to do, maybe i will try it out. can i use the instant noodle instead of ramen? hmmmmmm......
.
this ramen actually looks good. amazing. thanks.
.
Whenever I see the classic Curry flavored Maggi instant noodle on the shelves, I'd sapu them all. Kids chanting "Maggi meep cepat di masak, sedap di makan" would ring in my ear while slurping the maggie mee with an egg in it.
.
wow... just seem you have update your blog with recipe side bar on the left... great one... easier for us to navigate for recipe.
we had recently update our blog too, but may not be able to access these few days until stabilize. Give us some input if u happen to think of any Penang Food at our site.. hee hee
.
I think we all share the same dark secret about eating instant ramen. It's something to be celebrated!
BTW, I'm liking the changes to the blog design. Seems like a lot of folks are redesigning in September.
.
That's my favorite part of Hawaiian plate lunches. Yum!
.
This is a good idea! I made do with instant noodle and salad recently too and here you have 2-in-1...hahhaha!
I used to like instant noodle snack - MAMEE! Forgotten the taste eventually and got used to not having it :)
.

.
Not really a fan of salad but this I will eat...lots! :)
.
I love ramen noodles too...this recipe looks good, will try soon!
