Ramenblog Recipe: Green Onion Sesame Ramen
Here at Ramenblog, we wanted our first recipe to really appeal to the masses. Something flavorful and filling, yet simple enough to make using only a few ingredients. We chose the Sapporo Ichiban Chicken as our base because we knew the nuttiness of the sesame seeds and sharpness of the green onions would compliment the light but robust chicken flavor. We proudly present to you our Goma Negi Ramen Recipe (“Goma” = sesame, “Negi” = green onions).
All you will need:

Total cost from instant to gourmet:
.20 + .05 + .17 + .09 = 51¢
An instant ramen classic turned gourmet with roasted sesame seeds and freshly chopped green onions for about two quarters. Incidentally, we just got our electric bill and it cost us more in pure wattage writing this post than it did to actually make it. Go figure. Until next week!

You guys should try mixing black bean soup in with your ramen… As a vegetarian I try mixing in protein stuff as much as possible, and ramen is very yummy with some black beans and a little bit o spice!

nothing beats frying up a little bit of bacon (say 1/2 a pac) and adding that to two pacs of ramen w’ green onions and topping em’ off w’ a couple of fried eggs. yummy goodness!

Please list the ingredients of the ramen so we can see which ones do not have MSG

I love dropping/pouring scrambled raw egg into the simmering noodles while stirring. You get lovely strips of cooked egg mixed in with the noodles.

Great simple ramen recipe!
As a dorm kid, I remember eating dry instant noodle right from the pack.
We thought it was really good, though, crisp and tasty. Otherwise, we would just add hot water to the noodle, without any other fresh ingredients.
This would make many dorm students eat much healthier food.
Thanks for sharing.
