These noodles were pretty good, but I think this would work better if made a s a soup. I used the seasoning packets from the noodles, so I just used water in place of broth. I would add more liquid and more mushrooms next time and eat this as a noodle soup. Thanx for posting.

I think this recipe would be better if it was treated more like a casserole - Saute the onion, mushrooms, and garlic (with some ginger and more vegetables, like zucchini, peppers, and napa cabbage), deglaze with soy sauce and chicken stock, and add rice. Spread into a 9x13 baking dish (no foil necessary), placing 4 chicken breasts on top afterward. Finally, finely crumble the Top Ramen noodles on top for added crunch. Toss the seasoning packet and make a mojito with the lime....just a suggestion ;)

Just tweaked a bit. Drain mushrooms. Mix five-spice with packet mix. Use 2 packages of tuna. Will mix everything altogether before baking, as spices were uneven and taste was a little too extreme on some portions and not enough on others. Use only about 8 ounces of broth.

Wow, sorry, didn't like that at all. I love bold flavors but I felt like my mouth was confused. Just too much going on. Sorry, this just wasn't for me.
