Ramen Shrimp Pouch

"Courtesy Alton Brown from The Food Network. Special equipment: 4 (18-inch) squares aluminum foil. Recipe has been edited to reflect reviewers comments... the Zaar robot thought 1 quart meant 1/4 cup of vegetable broth and I didn't catch it the first time. I've changed it to the proper 4 cups broth."

  1. Made for our lunch and for the All Aboard the LOVE Train tag game...glad I did. I followed the instructions only using low sodium soy sauce and I left out the salt. I closed the top to the packets and had no problem with the noodles but I also used a little more broth. Very delicious. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. I omitted the mirin (couldn't find it), but added a 1/2 cup of water so I had the same amount of liquid. Perhaps the mirin would have cut the saltiness, but despite that, DH and I really liked it a lot and definitely will have again soon. I am glad I had used low sodium soy sauce. Next time I will omit the added salt. FYI UPDATE: I realized later that I had used canned veg broth which had over 900 mg of sodium per serving. THERE'S my trouble!
     
  3. This has alot of potential, and with some adjustments, would work really well. Iused fresh mushrooms, sauteed, and thin-sliced chicken breast. Even after adding 2 tb. more liquid to each pouch, and cooking for ten more minutes, the noodles were still crunchy. I don't know if I did something wrong or if the vent hole should be closed, but I will try this again. Thanks for posting!
