What recipes goes good with fried spicy ramen:

Baked crab rangoons can be a great appetizer for this fried ramen noodles with vegetables recipe. Since this is more of a stir fry, any meat you want to add to make fried ramen noodles with can just be added to the stir fry. Always fully cook the meat before adding the noodles though. If you added them at the same time, the meat may have a harder time getting done.

Variations of fried Marcuhan ramen recipe:

• omit beef-you can make this fried ramen recipe vegetarian very easily by taking out the beef. Depending on how strict on being a vegetarian you are, if the chicken broth bothers you, then use vegetable broth instead.
• microwave noodles-Marchuan ramen comes in a variety of cooking methods. You can make fried noodles in microwave instead of boiling on stove, then pan fry the noodles with the meat and vegetables if you want. This would save dishes by using the styrofoam microwavable container.
• more soy sauce-fried ramen noodles with soy sauce tastes amazing, but adding even more soy sauce can be even better! You can even make your own soy sauce to use if you really wanted to.
• add shrimp-fried shrimp ramen can be an option as well if you would prefer shrimp instead of or in addition to beef.
• add chicken-chicken breast meat can also taste quite delicious instead of or in addition to the beef originally in this recipe.
• different vegetables-to me, noodles is a perfect way to hide the brussel sprouts in your food. If you do not prefer brussel sprouts, you can add different vegetables instead like tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, squash, etc.
• use different noodles-the recipe says ramen noodles, but if you want to use leftover spaghetti noodles or angel hair noodles, you can skip the boiling part and just go straight to the frying part. This may taste slightly different without the broth part. If you want to soak them in a little chicken broth before frying to get the flavor back, you can do that as well.
• make less spicy-if you wanted to make your fried ramen with less spice, use olive oil instead of chili oil. Or if you wanted to deliute the chili oil down a bit, you can do so by making your own chili oil!

How to store fried ramen:

• fridge-store this ramen recipe in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week
• freezer-I have not tried freezing this fried ramen recipe. If you would like to try it, go for it! Let me know how it goes.
