Ok...by now everyone knows my love for reality TV...even if some of you HATE it! But this is my little, tiny tribute to my favorite cooking show.
I would like to know if anyone has any recipes they would like to share with my secret ingredient. Now being a single mother, you won't find any Alaskan King Crab here in my stadium kitchen.(also a seafood hater!) But please if you have a recipe to share I would appreciate it.
Now this ingredient is loved by college students and single moms nationwide, what else can you buy by the case for under $4.00. My mom gave me this kick ass recipe and I am not sure if it is Thai...I do know it is vegetarian and delicious. So first I will reveal my secret ingredient...and then my mom's recipe.
My secret ingredient is:
Ramen Noodles!!
Allez Cuisine!
Now Here Is My Mom's Recipe:
Spicy Peanut Sauce and Ramen
2 pkgs. Ramen (throw the spice packets away)
1 pkg tofu (don't ask me what size...I am assuming small, I never buy it...my mom makes it and I eat it.
Peanut butter. (to taste)
Cayenne pepper (to taste)
Just a little soy sauce (to make it more "saucy", or you can use water)
chopped cucumbers and green onions (to serve as a topping)
I am sure you all know how to cook the noodles, so I will leave that alone. (Just remember to drain them :)
In a sauce pan on medium heat you add the tofu and half a jar of peanut butter...let cook , adding the soy sauce or water to break it down a little and let simmer.
While simmering add peanut butter and cayenne pepper to taste. Remember this is to be kind of spicy.
When it's saucy baby, pour over cooked noodles and sprinkle on the chopped cucumber and green onion. YUMM!
Ok, if you don't think this sounds good, just try it. I am not a vegetarian...just a wannabe but hey, I love this. I'm so cheap I eat it at my mom's house!
If you have a creative, original Ramen noodle recipe give me a holla...cuz times is hard! Times is hard! lol

"Don't forget to drain pasta"
I asked my X once to do the pasta cooking on the stove, all he did was turn the stove off, by the time I got away from the crying baby the pasta was a pan shaped piece of rubber arrrgh
