Ways To Use Raw Ramen
There are a few ways to prepare raw ramen if you so desire, but we do not suggest that you eat it plain as a snack because it is neither flavorful nor nutritious. Instead, why not incorporate raw ramen into other dishes to produce a fuller, more flavorful meal?
Making a salad with leftover raw ramen is one of our favorite uses for it. The crunchiness of the raw instant ramen makes a delicious salad garnish!
If you really need your ramen fix as much as we do, then this is the way to go. All you have to do is crush up the ramen to add a little more texture into your salads and use as a new, inspired version of croutons.
Your raw ramen noodles can also be used as breading for other foods. Have you ever been preparing a delectable dish, like some fried chicken or fish, when you realized you were lacking breading?
We suggest using a few packs of uncooked ramen noodles for this to work, and crushing up the pieces to create an extra crunch like never before.
Then, you can add a little raw ramen to your breading. Trust us on this one, you’ve got to try it! All you have to do then is add the typical spices and seasonings that you would for regular breading, and fry them up in the ramen crumbs.
