Simple Salad Ramen for a Late-Night Snack
The Ultimate Late-Night Salad Ramen Recipe
When hunger strikes late at night, ramen is often the first thing that comes to mind! If you find regular ramen a bit too heavy, try this refreshing salad ramen with fresh vegetables for a light and satisfying late-night treat. Using non-fried noodles makes it a healthier choice too.
Main Ingredients- 1 pack of non-fried ramen (includes dressing packet)
- 5-6 large leaves of fresh lettuce or mixed greens
- 1/2 ripe tomato
- 1 hard-boiled egg (pre-cooked)
Salad Dressing- 2/3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp plum extract (or syrup)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2/3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp plum extract (or syrup)
- 1 tsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your non-fried ramen. Bring 550ml of water to a boil and add the ramen noodles. Cook for exactly 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
Step 2
Here’s a pro tip for chewier noodles! While the ramen is cooking, lift the noodles out of the boiling water and then dip them back in repeatedly. This technique helps to achieve a wonderfully springy texture. Let’s do it enthusiastically for the best results!
Step 3
Once cooked, immediately drain the noodles and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. This step is crucial to stop the cooking process and prevent the noodles from becoming mushy. Drain them well in a colander.
Step 4
Thinly shred the lettuce or mixed greens. Cut the tomato into wedges or slices, and halve the hard-boiled egg. Arrange the drained noodles in a wide bowl. Top the noodles with the prepared greens, tomato, and egg. You can use the dressing packet that came with the ramen, but for a fresh twist, mix the soy sauce, lemon juice, plum extract, and sugar to create a simple yet zesty dressing. Drizzle this homemade dressing over the salad ramen and enjoy your delicious and healthy late-night meal!
