I created this for the Dining on a Dollar cooking contest, November 2008. Since the contest was a penny-pinching contest, I did not use meat or very many exotic ingredients. Just basics you might have around the house. I did not waste or throw anything away, all of the juice from the oranges is used as well as the sauce packet from the ramen noodles. The ramen sit in a marinade before they are cooked so this softens the noodles and as they sit, the starch from the noodles thickens the sauce so be sure and let them sit for at least the 45 minutes. Then the noodles cook in their marinade giving them a spicy orange flavor. I hope you like them! Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges in light syrup, undrained |
2 teaspoons sambal oelek |
1 (3 ounce) package oriental-flavor instant ramen noodles, with seasoning packet |
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar |
1 (8 ounce) can sliced bamboo shoots, drained |
2 green onions, chopped (scallions) |
1/2 cup dry roasted salted peanut |
Directions:
1. In a food processor or blender; pour in the oranges with their juice, sambal, vinegar, and the seasoning packet for the ramen noodles. Mix together until the oranges are finely chopped into a sauce.
2. In a large bowl; put the ramen noodles and drained bamboo shoots. Pour the orange mixture over them to cover.
3. Let the noodles soak for 45 minutes to an hour until they absorb lots of the liquid and get soft.
4. Heat the noodles and shoots with the orange marinade in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the sauce bubbles.
5. Top with green onions and peanuts then serve.
