Every summer I have a stock of Ramen Noodles which made me look for a way to use them and make these quick Asian beef ramen noodles. My kids love to have them for lunch in the summer. Actually, I loved them in the summer too when I was younger. Even though this makes no sense to eat a hot soup in the summer, I did it and my kids do it too.
Since growing up, I have out grown regular Ramen Noodles, but I do love to use them for recipes. This recipe is a perfect way to use them. You don’t use the seasoning packets, just the noodles. Instead you make a simple Asian sauce.
Also, you add in some ground beef, onions, bean sprouts, and garlic. You can finish it off with the optional toppings of green onion and sesame seeds. This is definitely one of the ways I love to enjoy Ramen Noodles!
