Inspired by Kara and her Kitchen Creations, I wanted to make something Asian for my family.  I knew it had to be something we’d all eat, with me being the pickiest of all.  I was reluctant to try Ramen Noodles, but after a lil’ taste from my hubby, needing a quick fix meal, and the genius of my youngest son, Jordon (who actually came up with this recipe), I am sold!  So, with a little ground sausage, leftover BBQ chicken, Guidry’s Creole Onions (chopped onion mixture), beef or chicken broth, Authentic Soy Sauce, and Ramen Noodle packets a series of new dishes was born.  Here are some pics of the results.

BBQ Chicken w/o Peas

The basic recipe is simple.  Put noodles on to boil and prep as directed.  Brown or warm your leftover sausage, beef, turkey, or chicken with onion mixture.   Add soy sauce and broth, then stir in noodles and packets to taste.  As a final touch, add some peas and a lil’ parsley for color.

For another great addition, try some toasted wanton wraps, which we also made as a desert.  We brushed them with water so the edges would stick, filled them with some leftover choco coated pecans, and folded them up to close.  We then fried and dusted them with Hershey’s Cocoa.  It was a perfect combo.  The coco broke up the sweetness and the desert itself went well with this savory dish.  Not bad for using what you have on hand and works great with leftovers.
