Ingredients




2 tablespoons olive oil
onion thinly sliced
5 garlic cloves minced
head green cabbage thinly sliced as
for coleslaw
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 pkts ramen noodles
Sushi ginger for garnish,
(optional)

Preparation

1 Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the onion and garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the cabbage and soy sauce and toss. Add enough water so there is a thin layer of water on the bottom, about 2 tablespoons. If the water evaporates, add enough more so that a constant stream of steam is coming off the vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes. 2 While the cabbage is cooking, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add the packages of ramen noodles. Boil for 1 minute, turn off the heat and let sit. Add the seasoning packets. As the noodles soften, if the broth seems too thick, add more water to make it soupy. 3 To serve, spoon the cabbage mixture into bowls and top with the ramen broth. Pass the ginger at the table. 4 This recipe yields 4 servings. 5 Comments: It doesn't matter what kind of ramen noodles you buy, or where. They are all made from wheat pasta and taste pretty much the same, regardless of price. I do like the mushroom ones, as they add a flavor without my having the extra chore of chopping mushrooms.
