11531 ramen econo sandwicho 10-12 min 7 min. 1 awesome sandwich Thu Feb 14 21:19:03 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 21:19:03 -0800 2008 American User http://www.chow.com/recipes/11531 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 05:19:03 GMT The “Ramen Econo” came from my own kitchen when I was dirt poor and made due with whatever ingredients I had on hand. I made it for a couple of friends when I was in this predicament and everyone, including myself , absolutly loved it. I don’t like to think of it as a “delicasse’”, but more of an experiment. Try it, it takes ten minutes. This is truly something that you will NEVER see again.

  • Open Ramen package and prepare as package suggests, BUT ( boil in saucepan until noodles become “Al-Dente”(spelled right?) DO NOT STIR! Meanwhile, have small skillet with half of a quart of oil hot and ready.
  • When noodles are al-dente, add packet that comes with noodles, DO NOT STIR NOODLES, simply make sure seasoning is mixed with water. Drain all water.
  • place gently in heated oil . The best way is to keep it in a small round shape( not much bigger than a peice of bread. Takes only a minute on both sides(flipped) to fry. “Ramen Econo” is ready when noodles are fried and can be flipped like a burger while the center is still soft. WARNING.. ONLY TAKES A MINUTE, DO NOT FRY LONGER!
  • The sandwich can be garnished with whatever seasoning you like, I love adding some “Topatio” hot sauce and putting 2 fat slices of tomato on it with toasted white bread. Sounds weird, but it is the best!
