Top Ramen for Spicy Gourmet Asian Noodles
|
Spicy Gourmet Top Ramen with Prosciutto |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This will surprise you with Asian meets Italian mouthwatering goodness. The recipe itself arose out of necessity as we were spending way too much on food each month. One way we challenged ourselves was to have one top ramen night a week but we would try different recipes out that were out there. Perhaps, instituting a Top Ramen night in your house could help you save some $ for your wedding. This recipe came about because it was the ingredients that we had on hand. It has an amazingly full gourmet flavor with the sesame and chili oils mixed in there. One note though, if you use the prosciutto we definitely recommend using a low sodium soy sauce, as the prosciutto will add more than enough saltiness to the dish. For those that prefer a less intense flavor we recommend reducing the prosciutto or using capicola instead. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Tips
I recommend only 2 minutes to boil noodles rather than the 3 suggested on the instructions. This will give you a firmer, less mushy noodle in the bowl. If you prefer softer onions then sauté with the garlic and prosciutto. Do not add salt, until you have tried the recipe first! Capicola can be substituted for a spicier and slightly less salty option from the prosciutto. |

Interesting, I’ve added pan crisped prosciutto to my ramen on a whim. I was in the enviable position of having an excess of prosciutto.
Nice post.
