This quick meal is a flexible mixture that tastes great alongside grilled chicken, pork satay, or even roasted mushrooms. Add cubes of tofu, quickly-boiled shrimp, or poached chicken to this noodle bowl into an even more filling dinner. Instead of discarding your ramen seasoning, save it to season popcorn, burgers, homemade broth, sour cream (for dip), french fries, bread crumb mixture for deep frying, roasted vegetables, or gravy.
