This is one of my favorites too! Although, I usually substitute curly Japanese noodels for the Ramen, cuz I just can't figure out how the fat content of this recipe could be correct, using regular Ramen noodles. I've looked for the low-fat ones but haven't been able to find them. Anyway, the curly Japanese noodles have much less fat and the flavor is very similar. I just cook them in some beef broth and seasonings similar to the Ramen seasoning packet.

This is one of my old favorites, too. The original recipe called for baked ramen noodles, which Campbell's used to make. Shortly after the recipe was published, they stopped making them. I think the recipe was then reprinted in one of the cookbooks, and I *think* the numbers were adjusted to reflect that.

You can find baked ramen noodles on a couple of specialty asian food sites. But I 've never seen them just at your typical Kroger or Safeway.

I made this tonight and it was really good - especially considering how little effort went into it. Unfortunately DH rated it as "filler" - don't you hate that? Oh well, maybe I'll add some more spice next time.

julia-- did you try it?

my husband told me that if i went out of town for 2 weeks... he'd probably make this every night!

We did go out of town for the long weekend, and I forgot about it this past weekend. I'll make it this weekend for sure. I actually just bought some Thai noodles yesterday, so this will work out perfectly.
