Instant noodles, peanut butter, and sriracha. Crack an egg in near the end.
It's actually pretty close to pad thai, but screams of struggle meal
Yeah I definitely started relying on peanut proteins during my years of unemployment.
Try chopping up a green onion and throwing that in. White bit at the beginning of the boil and the green bits at the end. They're extremely cheap.
Green onions aren't cheap everywhere.
i only ever get green onions a few weeks after buying an onion that i didn't get around to cooking.
Well, I'm no expert, but I believe this is a bit different kind of green onions...
maybe? i'm quite sure you can use them in the same way though. garlic greens are good too. and depending where you live, you can forage good wild options too. my dad's back yard usually gets a good crop of 3 pointed leeks that i would harvest when i lived with him.
You're probably right. I have never personally seen them more expensive than like $1.25 for a half dozen.
Frugal tip: You can get a lot more life out of green onions by setting them in a jar of water. Trim what you need from the ends, and the plant will grow probably 3-4 times before you need to replace it.
Well I guess I'm trying this next time I buy green onions
In many places in North America field garlic (which is very similar to green onions) grows voraciously in people's yards in the Spring. Leave a small patch of yard unmowed and you'll have more than you know what to do with. Just be careful not to mistake it for death camas.
I've got gutter mint, but no volunteer garlic.
I have plans to eventually start a garden once I'm done tearing up the backyard.
I wouldn't serve instant noodles to guests either, but you have the gourmet version there.
That sounds delicious and I am going to make that.
Update: This was pretty tasty. I'll probably use just a spoonful of PB next time. I used half the ramen seasoning packet and added a little fish sauce as well. Scallions would definitely kick it up a notch, but that involves significantly more work.
We do the same thing! Had it yesterday for breakfast. We've been buying Ramen packs from Costco that are pretty spicy so we've been skipping the Sriracha though.
I wish my Costco had spicy ramen packets. I'll check again later today just to be sure.
Minus the egg, that's also a popular backpacking meal.
