I’m sharing another noodles recipe with you, guys. Because lately, I have been into quick meals because it’s convenient and very affordable. If you want to stay on a budget, this soup dish could be a good choice for you, especially if you’re not a picky eater. It only cost me, perhaps $5 or less.
There are a lot of variations on how to cook this. But, I’m sharing with you the easiest and fastest I made, so far. You can use any flavor and brand of ramen and sardines. It’s best not to use spicy flavors if you’re not a fan of it because you could ruin the taste of the dish.
Before removing the ramen soup from the heat, you can also add soy sauce or Toyomansi for a flavorful soup dish, or drizzle a fresh lemon to lessen the fishy aroma from the sardines. Although this is just a soup dish, ramen noodles are filling, but feel free to eat this with warm white rice.
