Improvised ramen

[breakinglight11]

Made something kind of interesting while trying to throw something together for lunch today. Wanted to dress up that boil-in-the-bowl dry ramen for something quick. So I threw in some frozen mixed veggies we had in the freezer, and made a quick sauce out of odds and ends we had in the kitchen. Some white miso paste, teriyaki sauce, a spoonful of peanut butter, a little of the starchy noodle water, and a dash of sriracha in Bernie’s. Crumbled in some peanuts for crunch; would have scrambled an egg if I’d had a little more time.

But it came out pretty tasty, which pleases me because I’m not great at improvising things like sauces— particularly outside of the Italian-peasant, French-country cuisine style my knowledge is based in. I’ll have to remember this next time we want a real bite at home but don’t have a lot of time. Bernie liked it, at least, so I’ll consider that a success. ☺️
