WINTER RAMEN What’s the Occasion?

It’s cold outside. You require sustenance.

Ingredients * 1 Package of Instant Ramen of your choice * ⅓ C. Celery (chopped) * ½ C. Chopped Peas + Carrots (I use frozen) * ½ C. Meat of your Choice. Chicken, beef, pork, etc. (sliced) * 1 C. Kale (chopped, ripped, broken into bits, idk just get it in pieces.)

Instructions 1. Boil water in a pot according to package instructions. Add celery and frozen peas+carrots. If you use frozen peas+carrots wait for the water to boil again before proceeding. 2. Add meat, kale and Instant noodles along with any flavor or vegetable packets included. Cook for time listed on the back of the ramen package. 3. Serve it up and EAT IT.

Take it to Elevation Nation! Add a Fried Egg and a sprinkle of green onion.

GENDER REVEAL RAMEN What’s the Occasion?

You or someone you know is expecting a human child in the near future. You want to throw a Gender Reveal Party, but you want to make it wierd.

Ingredients * 2 Packages Chicken or Shrimp Flavored Instant Ramen (use ramen with light colored broth) * Pink or Red Food Dye (for a girl) * Blue Food dye (for a boy) * 2 Soft boiled eggs * 2 Regular carrots (Skinned and cut into Penny Slices) * 4 Thick Slices of Ham * Heart, star, etc. Shaped Cookie Cutters, or a Knife * Splash of Heavy Cream *½ C. Green Onions (thinly sliced)

Instructions 1. Boil amount of water according to ramen package instructions. 2. Boil and peel your eggs. Cut into halves and set aside. 3. Take your ham slices and cut heart, star and other cute shapes out of them with the cookie cutters. Or just use a knife to do this. 4. Use a knife to try and cut other cute shapes out of your carrot slices like flowers or something.

5. Prep your bowls by adding a few drops of your selected food dye at the bottom. Cover the food dye with the seasoning packets from the ramen. Place the DRY ramen noodles on top. 6. Present bowls with seasoning and dry noodles to the couple (If it’s you who’s learning the secret have someone do this for you). Have the couple decorate their respective bowls with the eggs, ham, carrots and green onions. 7. When they’re done, take the bowls away from them and add boiling water and a splash of heavy cream to each bowl. The heavy cream will make the color of the food dye pop. Mix the bowl up a little bit to loosen and incorporate the dye until the color is apparent. 8. Cover each bowl and wait for the time listed on the ramen package. While you’re waiting, strike up a conversation with the expectant couple. Like, “Who’s going to be the better parent?” 9. Once time is up, have the couple uncover their bowls to see what they’re having! 10. Have fun!
