Is it possible to cook a meal with chicken and ramen? EDIT: It was a success!

A la chicken noodle soup?

I have a frozen chicken breast, two packages of ramen, and two eggs.

I am thinking of thawing the chicken breast, cutting it into small cubes, boiling the ramen noodles and chicken together, then throwing the eggs in at the last moment. Would this work?

EDIT: I took imported's advice, it turned out great. Thanks!

How about cooking the ramen, don't put the flavor stuff in, and cooking the chicken with a little soy sauce and pepper. After it's cooked, drain the ramen, and proceed to stir fry it. Add in the eggs and chicken. That's what I'd do.. but you can do your method too. :p

How do you stir fry? (sad, I know) Also, what do you mean by cooking the chicken with soy sauce and pepper? Put the chicken breast in a casserole bowl, have an inch or two of soy sauce, cover in pepper, then bake for an hour? *sigh* Also, how are the eggs supposed to be cooked? Could I throw them in raw with the noodles as they're being stir-fried?

That sounds feasible and quite good, if I can get the mechanics down.

Stirfry = Frying on a frying pan with veggies and stuff.

Just cut the chicken up into small strips. first soak the noodles, then when it gets soft, cook it with the chicken on a frying pan with a lil bit of soy sauce, some veggies

Nate, if you'd wanted to come over and have dinner tonight, you should have said so. It would have given me a good excuse to cook, and then I wouldn't be sitting here deciding to skip my fourth or fifth meal in two days.

It it were me. I'd fry the breast separately with a little bit of salt, pepper, and garlic. Boil the noodles until done and then separate the noodles from the water. Mix the flavor packet into the water with one of the eggs to make an egg drop soup. Put noodles back into soup, over easy the other egg and put the sliced chicken breast and the egg over the top of the noodle soup.

Stir frying is just what it sounds like. Heat up pan, throw all the ingredients in, and stir constantly until done.

Scramble the egg before you put it in the soup.

In a wok or frying pan, heat some oil. Have the chicken sliced, diced, cubed, or cut in strips; whichever you prefer. Rub it down with some salt, pepper, and soy sauce in a bowl, or add them as you cook the chicken. Then add the cooked and drained ramen, add flavor packet if wanted, and then stir in the eggs. That's really about it.. you could scramble the eggs seperate if you wanted to and add them like that also.

chicken fried rice.

1) warm up wok
2) cook ramen
3) peanut or soy oil in wok
4) place defrosted chicken cut into strips or cubes in wok and start to stir fry
5) while chicken is cooking (doens't take long) drain ramen
6) when chicken is just about done throw in some onion and the ramen
7) stir fry quickly and then toss in scrambled egg
8) some soy sauce mixed with peanut oil to finish stir frying.

All of this happens rather quickly (about 10 minutes total cooking time) so you gotta work fast.

Are you talking about that skinless filet style chicken breast crap? If so, I wouldn't, try baking the chicken breast with Bar B q sauce or something(to make it edible), then with the Ramen(assuming it's not Ramen Pride or some gross non-Asian knockoff) cook up the noodles, drain the water, put noodles back in the pot, add some butter/margarine(teaspoon or so), dump the flavouring in, stir until flavouring thoroughly mixed, serve the chicken breast and Ramen noodles.

Otherwise, if you like that crap(again assuming it's that filet style WTF is that? chicken breast) the way it is, what you suggest will work fine. :)

I would boil Water soup base and chicken together first and then put in noodles, ramen noodles don't need to be in more than like 90 secs or so, then eggs.

put chicken and noodles in together you might end up leaving noodles in too long.
