Peach Dessert Ramen

A few weeks ago, my mom and I had a ramen noodle dinner, I made Cheesy Corn Ramen, and this peach ramen for dessert. My mom had pulled out the book she had, and there were so many good ideas, we made both things for our dinner. Probably not the healthiest, and definitely not an upscale meal, but they were both different than just making noodles from a packet, but were still easy and we already had all the ingredients.

This recipe comes from the book 101 Things to do with Ramen Noodles.

Ingredients:

-1 cup cream

-1 can peaches

-1/2 cup peach juice from the can

-1/4 cup brown sugar

-ramen noodle packet, without the seasoning

-1/2 cup frosted flakes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all the ingredients except the cornflakes in a casserole dish.
Make sure the ramen are covered by the mixture.

Bake for 5 minutes, cover with the cornflakes,
then bake for 5 more minutes.

This wasn't as good as the cheesy corn ramen. It was a little odd to have noodles with the peaches. But the combination of the peaches, brown sugar, and frosted flakes were really good, so it made up for having noodles in a dessert. I also liked this because it was a good amount of food for just 2 people for a dessert, and it could be make in just one casserole dish.

Cheesy Corn Ramen

I've seen a few books and websites that make meals out of ramen. I like the concept, because it takes something that can be really boring and make it into an interesting meal. I think it is cool too because there are so many twists and options that you can do with it because the noodles are pretty versatile.

This recipe comes from the book 101 things to do with ramen noodles. My mom and I are hoping to do some more of these ramen recipes soon.

Ingredients:

-1 packet of ramen, with any seasoning packet

-1 14 oz can creamed corn

-1/2 cups shredded cheese

Make the ramen noodle packet in boiling water. In another saucepan, heat the creamed corn and cheese together until the cheese melts, about the amount of time it takes for the ramen to cook. Pour the cheese corn sauce over the ramen.

I didn't use all of the sauce, it was a little too much for the amount of ramen I had, I used probably 1/2, so if you wanted to make 2 packets of ramen or cut down the amount of cheese and corn, I think that would work well.

This was really simple, there were not many ingredients, but it really made them taste good and different than the plain ramen. It was almost like mac and cheese, it was really creamy, and the corn gave it some extra texture and sweet flavor.

Egg Drop Ramen

I was looking for some ways to change up ramen noodles and I found a lot with eggs cooked in different styles. This one looked pretty good, I found it on this website. You can also check out this popular September recipe from Vegetarian & Cooking! for another way to change up your ramen noodles.

Ingredients:

-3 cups vegetable broth

-2 eggs

-1 package of ramen (minus the seasoning packet)

-1/2 cup corn (frozen or canned)

-1 Tbsp corn starch

-Paprika

-Salt

-Pepper

Dissolve 1 Tbsp corn starch with 1 Tbsp water

Lightly beat 2 eggs

Bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir it into a whirlpool so you can add the egg.

Slowly pour the egg into the swirling water. The egg should form thin ribbons.
This was much easier than it sounded.

Add ramen and corn. Add salt, pepper and paprika to taste.
Cook for 7-8 minutes. It takes a bit longer than ramen in boiling water.

This was really good and pretty easy. It tasted very different than traditional ramen with the seasoning packet, I think the vegetable broth gave it a good flavor. I will definitely do this again.
