Getting thrifty with an old college friend
Remember that quick-fix meal when the cash was running low during finals week in college? Well, ramen noodles aren’t just for soup. Crush the dry blocks of instant ramen found at your neighborhood grocery into pieces and add to coleslaw or any salad instead of croutons. Some folks from the South are familiar with dry ramen noodles in cole slaw. We first ran into the combo in Savannah, Ga. Conversely, hot instant ramen soup may be made heartier by adding sliced leftovers: steak, baked or grilled chicken breast, and steamed shrimp. Chopped mushrooms, julienned carrots, and green onions will also make fine additions. Cooked ramen noodles sometimes are served with a poached egg in Japan.

Small world. I, too was in Savannah, Georgia when I sampled a version of this. Only, I think they used pineapple juice or some derivation of pineapple juice. I believe the restaurant had some kind of Carribean theme to it. I thought it a neat surprise when I stumbled upon instant Ramen noodles in a non-Asian themed restaurant in Savannah. California maybe, but Coastal Georgia!
