Beer Ramen
"I found this one on the web but I don't remember where. This is no place for watery lager. It calls for a beer or ale with a full robust flavor. I usually use a Brown or Red Ale from ICE HARBOR BREWERY, my favorite local Micro brewery. Fat Tire Ale from The New Belgium Brewery is another good choice. Most Ramen recipes are particularly handy for RV cooking, ie, minimum use of gas, not much heat buildup in the kitchen, and the pantry doesn't weigh much."
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 1 package ramen noodles, broken fairly small (Throw away the 'flavor pack', 92-97% SODIUM, your getting more than enough Sodium without this!)
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed French onion soup (Cream of Mushroom works well too.)
- 1 3⁄4 cups beer or 1 3/4 cups ale (1 soup can full, I'll leave it to you to find a use for the rest of the bottle of beer!)
directions
- Heat Oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
- Add broken Noodles.
- Stir fry'til golden brown.
- Add Soup and Beer.
- Cover, bring to a slow boil.
- Reduce heat, simmer 6 minutes.
- Uncover, simmer to thicken 4 minutes longer.
- Serve, with a baguette for sauce control.
- A raw vegetable platter drizzled with Key Lime Juice and a cold Ale is a natural with this.
- ADDENDUM: The last time I did this one I had some leftover grilled Andoulle sausages which I had frozen. I nuked 2 of them to thaw them and add them to the soup. Both of us were suitably impressed.

This was so intriguing that I had to try it - only to discover that it was really salty and had a bizarre beer aftertaste. Granted, I should have expected the aftertaste, but I was looking forward to an interesting Cream of Beer-Infused Mushroom taste and just got salty creamy sauce with a sour aftertaste. The ramen was also pretty overcooked just because of the extreme amount of simmering and boiling. All in all, this was a really interesting recipe that I'm glad I tried, but only because I can now say that I've had Beer Ramen. I'd recommend just making regular ramen and drinking the beer on the side.

I'm a 73 year old male. I live in the desert in Southeast Wasington. Yes, Virginia, Southeast Washington is Desert, Cacti, Sage Brush, Wile E. Coyote, the whole nine yards.The Columbia River flows through the middle of it and is its saving grace.
Some of the jobs. I've held are Well Driller, Aircraft Machanic, Handyman, Electrician,Merchant Seaman, And most recently Long haul Driver.My hobbies are cooking, Kite making, and Good movies (plus anything that strikes my fancy)
My first cookbook was Fanny Farmer Original Boston Cooking School Cookbook and its still the first of all of my cookbooks that I go to. It has the best Biscuit recipe going and the only change I make to its Cornbread recipe is to add a half teaspoon of Cayenne to bring out the flavor of the cornmeal.
I injured my knee and have had the last year off and what I've done is go quietly mad. I'm now semi retired and try to figure out plan 'E'. A, B, C, and D phased out so it's time to move on, where, the hell ever, that is.
