Several years ago, I was browsing my local supermarket when I noticed a large red can with a noodle dish on the front. I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but when I looked inside, it turned out to be a ramen noodle salad. I was immediately sold since I love ramen noodle salad. It’s a delicious meal and would be a great way to add to my regular diet.
Wonton noodles
Whether you want a bowl of wonton noodles in a red can from the 80s or are looking for a quick snack, wonton noodles are a great option. They can be eaten dry or served in soup form. There are wide varieties of wonton, and the fillings vary from region to region. Some are spicy, while others are sweet. The ideal wonton noodle soup should have a rich flavor seasoned with seafood and bones.
The wonton wrapper should be soaked in water. You can buy fresh egg noodles at your local Asian grocer. Alternatively, you can use dried egg noodles. Make sure to put plenty of seasoned water into the pot. This will help prevent the wontons from sticking.
The wonton wrapper should then be folded into a triangle and pressed to seal the edges. You can also add crushed toasted peanuts to add a nutty flavor. This is a good idea if you are serving a lot of wontons.
Once the wontons are cooked, you can place them in a serving bowl and serve them with the soup. You can then season them with sesame oil or soy sauce. These condiments can be purchased at your local Asian grocer or supermarket.
Singapore wonton noodles are a popular dish. They are served in soup form or as dumplings. These are also known as mie Rangsit in Indonesia.
Soba noodles
Whether looking for a quick lunch or a healthy dinner, Asian noodles in red can quickly satisfy your appetite. The thin, slippery noodle is packed with protein and manganese, making it a nutritious choice for a balanced meal.
Several different kinds of soba are available, including Hachi-wari Soba, which is made from 80% buckwheat flour. The smoother texture of this noodle makes it a favorite of vegetarians. It is also gluten-free.
If you want to add a little flavor to your soba, try mixing it with sesame oil sauce. To make the sauce, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, and black pepper. It’s easy to make and adds a great flavor to your noodle dish.
Add fresh cilantro, carrots, cabbage, and seaweed if you serve soba as a salad. You can also toss the noodle salad with sesame seeds. You can purchase these ingredients at your local grocery store’s Asian foods section. You can also create your salad dressing by combining the elements in a mason jar and shaking it vigorously.
Soba noodles are delicious cold. They are cooked in boiling water for about four to five minutes to serve them hot. They are then drained and rinsed with cold water. This prevents overcooking.
Soba noodles are usually eaten as a side dish but can be served as a main course. They are considered a healthy carb food because they are low in fat but high in protein and manganese.

To prepare the ramen noodle salad base:

- Toss them with a few drops of oil and serve. If you don’t have any oil, toss them with a sesame or olive oil drizzle.
After preparing the ramen noodle salad base, add all the remaining ingredients. A great option is to use shredded chicken. You can purchase a rotisserie chicken or make your own from leftover grilled chicken.
For the Asian cabbage slaw, you can use a packaged coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage. To prepare the slaw, you can use oil, vinegar, or a ramen seasoning packet. You can also add slivered almonds for crunch.
