Answer 1

Asian Noodle Bowl
Pork and Pasta with an Oriental Twist

* 1/4 of a small head of cabbage
* 1 tbp vegetable oil
* 8 oz of cooked pork tenderloin, cut in short strips
* 1 can of chicken broth
* 2 tsp soy sauce
* 8 green onions, chopped
* 2 packages (3 oz each) ramen noodles with chicken flavoring

Procedure

Shred the cabbage into thin strips. In a wok, pour the tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat to medium heat. Add the cabbage and pork. Stir fry until the cabbage begins to soften. Open the packages of ramen noodles and remove the flavor packets. Add the can of chicken broth to the wok, the two packets of chicken flavoring, and 2 cans of tap water. Also add soy sauce. Bring the ingredients to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in green onions. Heat two minutes. Add the two packages of ramen noodles, breaking them into smaller pieces if you wish. Cook until the noodles are tender, about two to four minutes. Serve immediately.

Cooking Tips
Instead of pork, this dish could be made with leftover chicken or steak. If you want more spices, add a half teaspoon of minced ginger with the chicken broth, flavorings, and soy sauce. To add another vegetable, slice up some pea pods and add them when you add the green onions. Experiment with your own favorite ingredients.

Answer 2

Sure, hope ya like this!! I dont know if you want hot or cold so here is one of each

ORIENTAL NOODLE SALAD

1/4 c. sesame seeds
2 tsp. pepper
3 tsp. salt
1/2 c. oil
1 pkg. oriental noodle soup
4 scallions, sliced
3 oz. sliced almonds
1 tsp. Accent (MSG)
4 tbsp. sugar
1/3 c. vinegar
1 head lettuce, diced

Brown the sesame seeds and almonds in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Mix the pepper, salt, Accent, sugar, oil, and vinegar in a shaker bottle; set aside.
Cook noodles in water just until no longer hard; drain. Place the noodles, lettuce, and scallions in large bowl. Toss with dressing. Let sit in refrigerator 1 hour; toss again and serve.

ORIENTAL NOODLES AND VEGETABLES

1 lb. box angel hair whole wheat spaghetti

SAUCE:

Oil, a good dash
Soy sauce, an equal amount to the oil
Grated ginger, not too much
Crushed garlic, a lot, to taste
Cooking sherry, a little dab will do ya

Vegetables: Whatever you have (e.g., onion, celery, carrot, broccoli, green pepper).
Addition: Salt and pepper if it needs some.

1. Cook up that spaghetti, if you actually get the whole wheat angel hair experiment a little bit to get it right, it cooks up a little different from white, generally takes longer.

2. Get the sauce going in a wok or iron fry pan. Cut up the vegetables; put the big ones in first, the tender ones (e.g. onion) last, about 5-7 minutes at high heat, don't overcook.

3. Mix that al dente spaghetti in with the cooked vegetables and sauce, you'll want to eat it right away but let it cool off so you don't burn the roof of your mouth and don't forget the salt and pepper but you probably won't need it.

For our daughter's lunches we toss noodles with a bit of soy sauce & sesame oil & add some tofu - sometimes fried - and veggies.

Answer 4

to one cup of cold water add, 1 tsp beef bullion,1 tsp sugar,1 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp ginger and 1 tbs of corn starch. adjust it to your liking. it's similar to egg foo young gravy and you can toss it with anything you like. i do cut up cooked chicken,oriental veggies and thin spaghetti(instead of lo mien noodles)/ double the recipe if needed.
