Spicy Shrimp Ramen Recipes

Steps:

• Put the bacon in a cold medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the saucepan. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the shiitakes and cook, stirring, until browned, about 6 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire and bring to a boil. Add the ramen and boil until tender, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the broth from the heat and stir in the shrimp. Let stand until the shrimp are cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve topped with the chives.

Steps:

• Break noodles in half inside of packet.
• Make noodles as directed on package.
• While noodles are preparing, heat a small pan over medium heat.
• Add butter and shrimp.
• Season with garlic powder, creole seasoning,and black pepper.
• Cook shrimp for about 4 mins (until pink).
• When noodles are done drain them leaving about 1/4 cup of the water and place in a bowl.
• Add seasoning packet, shrimp out of the pan, and hot sauce (I sometimes add a couple of pinches of the creole seasoning again to the noodle mix).
• Mix together and enjoy =].

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and ginger together in a small bowl. Add peanut butter, whisking until well combined, and set aside.
• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Discard the flavor packet and add ramen noodles to the boiling water. Cook until noodles are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain noodles, reserving some of the noodle water in case you need to thin out the sauce later.
• Pour sauce over ramen noodles, tossing until well coated. If sauce is too thick, thin out with a small amount of the reserved noodle water until you reach your desired consistency. Your hot noodles will soak up the sauce. Garnish with peanuts and green onion, and serve.

Steps:

• NOTE: The ingredients at the end (from the Ramen Soup Mix on down) of the ingredients list are what you need to add the below two ingredients. But unfortunately the Foods.com database doesn't recognize Togarashi and Hondashi powder. I put them in here for you so you can make your own. But really, just buy Togarashi and Hondashi powder, it is far better --
• 1 teaspoon of Togarashi Powder.
• 1 teaspoon of Hondashi powder.
• Step 1: Prepare the Pork Loin and Chill.
• Prepare a pork loin marinade the same was as this recipe (@230339), but resist the temptation to eat it on the spot! (Maybe make two and then save the second one?).
• Sear on the outside only, do not cook through (it should be essentially raw in the middle). After seared, put it in the refrigerator to cool. Then after it is cold (maybe a few hours, or over night) put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before you slice, as it will be too soft to get really thin slices.
• Once the pork has slightly frozen to give it a firmer texture, slice very thinly. It should be slightly raw in the middle, so you want to cut thin to allow it to cook in the broth when you serve it.
• Take the pork out of the refrigerator/freezer and after it is sliced thin, lay it out on a plate before doing anything else in this recipe, so it gets to room temperature by the time you serve. Cover it with foil or plastic wrap until ready to serve.
• Step 2: Prepare the Spices.
• Take all the powdered spices, mix them together, and grind them, especially the fennel seeds to a powder. The finer you make this powder the better.
• Grind ginger root down using a grater, or just slice.
• Add all the spices to a small pan and toast the spices slightly. Then add the water to that pan and simmer until the rest of the stock is ready.
• Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables.
• Slice the onion into strips about 1 inch, no more.
• Slice all the garlic. I like to leave them in thin slices that look like tiny medallions, but you can either mince or cut as you like. I suppose if you just crushed them slightly and left them whole, that would be fine too, if you want to remove them after.
• Separate the whites from greens on the scallions, and then slice all into tiny rings. Use the whites in the early part of the recipe, and reserve the greens to add to the soup raw.
• Slice the basil down into chiffonade ribbons and cut in half again.
• Remove stems and rough chop the cilantro.
• Boil, rinse, chill 2 servings or so of your favorite ramen or Asian noodles for soup. I use Thai Kitchen Thin Rice Noodles, prepared as the package directs. Typically we only have half the package for this size soup.
• Step 4: Now that all the prep is done, lets make the stock!
• Put the 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a wok or Dutch Oven style pot and heat to shimmering.
• Add the white onions and the scallions, as well as the jalapeno pepper, sauté until the onions are just beginning to get translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic to the pot and sauté for another 2 minutes.
• Add the beef stock, beef paste, and the water.
• Heat all to a boil and then reduce heat to medium high (a high simmer).
• Add the liquid ingredients Ponsu, mirin, etc.
• Take the spiced water, and use a strainer to transfer all the water into the soup base. The strainer is just to get the larger bits of ginger or fennel out if you like. However, you can certainly not strain if you like. (I never strain it, but my wife doesn't like the bits of fennel or ginger in the soup.).
• Step 5: Prepare the Noodles.
• Boil the noodles according to the directions, but cook them just a bit shy of done so that they are springy, not mushy.
• You can boil some finely cut broccoli or other vegetables you might like into the noodles if you have a desire for that. I sometimes do, or might add carrots and broccoli. By par boiling them in the water with the noodles, they are less likely to be wilted when you serve the soup.
• Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking and set aside.
• Step 6: Prepare your bowls.
• Make sure you select deep bowls, this is a dish that will need to set for a few minutes before you eat, and the stock should completely cover all ingredients you put in the bowl first.
• Take all the veggies, noodles, sliced pork, shrimp and basil and put in the bowls in the typical decorative style you see a pho bowl prepared. Don't over fill as this may affect the final cook of the pork and noodles.
• Step 7: Pour the Stock and Serve.
• Once everything is in the bowls, spoon or pour the soup base over the ingredients. Allow the water to finish cooking the pork before eating.
• Again, my wife is particular about the pork, so I will often toss the pork into the stock pot at the end for about 1 minute, just to make sure it is cooked through. But if you cut the pork thinly enough, and it is room temperature before hand, it should cook in about 1 to 3 minutes while the bowl is steaming in front of your guests.
• Step 8: Optional garnishes.
• Sometimes I find this is excellent if you add fresh raw bean sprouts in a pho style. Additionally, you can prepare a few marinated hard boiled eggs in the Japanese Ramen style. Also, the scallions you add at the end can be very heavy if you like it to have a bit of kick.
• Add A wedge of lime if you like, and possibly mint.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Break block of Noodles in half. Place each half on separate large sheet of heavy-duty foil sprayed with cooking spray. (Discard Seasoning Packet or reserve for another use.) Bring up all sides of each foil sheet, leaving opening at top; place on rimmed baking sheet.
• Mix dressing and broth until blended; pour over noodles. Top with shrimp and vegetables. Fold ends of foil together to seal top of each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
• Bake 22 to 26 min. or until noodles are tender and shrimp turn pink. Cut slits in foil to release steam before carefully opening packets. Stir ingredients in packets until blended; sprinkle with nuts.
