Food is Cheap

Saimin is the frizzy, Hawaii-dwelling nephew of ramen, and can be fried rather than prepared in broth, for a super quick and cheap take-to-work meal.

Ingredients:

• 3 packages of instant ramen

• 1lb chicken, cut into strips

• 2 eggs
• 1/4 onion, sliced
• 1lb frozen vegetables
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

 

Cook and drain ramen noodles.

Chicken goes into the pan (I use a large wok).

As does the onion. Cook until chicken is done.

Add rest of ingredients, including two of the ramen flavor packets.

Add the oyster sauce if desired.

Two eggs go in as well.

You can cook it until its nice and crispy or serve as is.

Package everything up in cute “his” and “hers” lunch containers for tomorrow.

If I had bok choy (chinese cabbage) or fried beef, I’d add that too.

This takes about 10 minutes and makes 4-5 servings.
