1 awesome sandwich
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.
INGREDIENTS
- one pack of "Top Ramen" brand ramen noodles (15 cents)
- half a quart quart vegatable oil (most any oils can be used.)
- hot, mild, sweet, tangy, sauce for garnishing
INSTRUCTIONS
- 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!

Wow, some intresting creations come about when your in tough times. I know our family still loves cheesy mac hamburger helper substituted with smoked sausage instead of beef. Even though we don't normally eat anything helper these days, we still have a box around every once and a while because we actually like it.
