Turns out you can make homemade ramen without JUST following the package directions.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• Vegetable or peanut oil for frying

• 2 packages (260g) Shin Black Ramen, (use 2 noodles, use seasoning packets but omit the vegetable packets)

• 1 cup (140g) toasted salted cashews

• 1 cup (140g) candied pecans

• 1 cup (170g) M&M’s

• 2 cups (72g) salted kettle cooked potato chips

• 1 cup (42g) mini pretzel sticks

Method:

1. Fill a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (176°C). 

2. Fry dry ramen noodles in chunks, stirring as they fry up and get golden and crunchy, about 1-2 minutes. Season with seasoning packets immediately after frying so the seasoning adheres. Pick and choose your seasoning. I used 1 package each of the red and gold, then let the fried ramen noodle chunks cool completely. 

3. Combine and toss everything together. Serve and enjoy!
