I have no idea how much a package of Ramen costs, but I can assure you it is cheaper than the La Choy noodles I buy at the grocery store. And here's the thing: these noodles are a big part of my love for Asian food. So, this was a great way to give me a crunch when I was out of traditional noodles. Paul said it was close to the best way he's ever had Ramen Noodles.

I put a small skillet on medium heat and broke up the noodles as much as possible in their package before dumping them in the skillet. They get toasted like pine nuts for salads. Just be sure to keep stirring because they can burn.
