Welcome to our first in a series of new recipes which appeal to the broke-ass among us who just aren't satisfied anymore with following the directions on the ramen packs! It's time to make RAMEN MAGIC!
For our first trick, we will be presenting Niggarigged Bun. Bun (pronounced "boon") is a classic Vietnamese noodle salad dish, served usually with a variety of herbs and some meat doused with a delicate fish sauce, and other than the ubiquitous pho represents the pinnacle of Vietnamese cuisine and comfort food, and which shouldn't cost more than $1 to make if you follow the below instructions!
INGREDIENTS
---------------
- 1 pack beef-flavored ramen
- Some thinly sliced, cheap-ass beef (can be eliminated if you can't afford any beef)
- A few tablespoons of Niggarigged Nuoc Mam (see below)
- Some chopped cilantro
- Some chopped green onions
- Some bean sprouts
1. Boil some water! Put the ramen noodles and beef in the water once it's boiling!
2. Boil it for three minutes until the noodles are done!
3. Quick-strain the noodles and beef. This means, you know, strain it out, but not really aggressively, because you want at least a little bit of moisture left on the noodles to dissolve the flavor pack in.
4. Transfer noodles/beef to a bowl, add half the flavor pack, and toss to coat.
5. Top noodles with cilantro, onions, and sprouts.
6. Pour niggarigged nuoc mam over top.
7. Enjoy??
NIGGARIGGED NUOC MAM ("nuoc mam" is a classic Vietnamese fish sauce, used as dressing for salads, and for dipping, and pretty much for everything else.)
INGREDIENTS
---------------
- 8 oz warm water
- 2 tbsp cheap-ass fish sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice (in a bottle is fine! We are niggarigging this!)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Chile paste, or dried crushed chiles, or cayenne power, or something hot like that, to taste.
1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Let cool in fridge.
