Ramen...with Dumplings!!!

Ramen Noodles don't have to be boring and should never be served plain. Look at your standard package of Ramen Noodles as a blank canvas primed and ready to be turned into a masterpiece! I recently came up with a great way to serve Ramen by adding a little Asian pep to what could otherwise be a boring reminder that other, better food is either too far away or simply out of your price range.


You'll need:
Salt and Pepper
1 1/2 tsp. Sesame Oil
1 Chicken Ramen Noodle package
4 precooked Asian style dumplings/pot stickers
1/2 cup Frozen Mixed Vegetables
Soy Sauce
Sriracha Sauce


1) Start by adding a pinch of Salt and some coarsely cracked Pepper to your water as it warms up, then add the Sesame Oil as it comes to a boil and drop in your noodle brick.


2) Let the noodles boil for about a minute, then drop in the 4 Asian style dumplings/pot stickers and Frozen Mixed Vegetables. Cover the pot for the remainder of the cook time. 


3) Transfer the noodles and dumplings to a bowl and add a splash of Soy Sauce and a nickle sized amount of Sriracha Sauce and stir until fully incorporated. 


It's amazing what a few simple ingredients can do to make boring food POP! Don't worry about the soup being too hot to eat, the Sriracha Sauce is added to warm the taste of the food; but there's nothing wrong with adding more!


Happy Eating, Guys!
