Introduction

I confess to loving ramen noodles; this is my attempt to make it healthier. I confess to loving ramen noodles; this is my attempt to make it healthier.
Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

    .5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    .25 cup, chopped red onion
    .5 pepper Jalapeno Peppers, seeded and chopped
    2 cloves Garlic, minced
    1 can Great Value Black Beans, drained and rinsed
    1 can tomatoes, with juice
    1 pkg shrimp flavor (or chicken) ramen noodles
    3 cup (8 fl oz) Chicken Broth, or as desired
    1 - 2 lemons or limes
    3 tbsp Cilantro, raw

Directions

Add EVOO to medium-size pot over medium heat. Add onion and jalapeno; cook until translucent. Add garlic, beans, tomatoes and flavor packet from the ramen. Stir well, then add as much chicken broth as desired. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20-30 minutes.

Turn off heat; add noodles that have been well broken-up, the juice of a lemon or lime (1 – 2, depending on the tartness desired, I like plenty of tartness), and the cilantro. Let it stand until the noodles are soft, about 5 minutes.

I also add Sriracha sauce, about 1T.

Can garnish with avocado, crushed tortillas chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, etc.


Serving Size: Makes 2 meal-sized servings or 4 small servings
