| Ingredients- 4 strips of bacon
- 2 packages Ramen (no specific flavor)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Red pepper flakes
- Soy Sauce
- 1 large egg
Requires the following implements: spatula/turner, non-stick pan, medium-sized pot, Large bowl filled with water and ice, strainer or colander Before beginning the recipe, fill large bowl with cold water. Toss a lot of ice into the bowl. We want the water to cool quickly. - Begin by cutting the strips of bacon into 1/4 inch pieces. Place bacon into non-stick pan and let cook on medium-low heat. We want to let it cook slowly while we wait for the water to boil.
- Fill a decent-sized pot with water until it’s about 2/3 full. Let it get to a boil.
- While water is boiling, add pepper to bacon if desired.
- As the water begins to boil, open the packs of ramen and throw the spice packets into a drawer for later use. Toss the ramen in the boiling water. Let cook for about 3 minutes.
- You’ll notice the ramen is finished cooking when it gets golden-yellow and the noodles separate. Remove the ice from the bowl of water and ice. Grab the colander and quickly drain the noodles. Immediately after all the water is drained, pour the noodles into the bowl of cold water. Stir the noodles with your hands until they are cold.
- By now the bacon should be finished cooking. Keep the grease in the pan. It’s going to coat the noodles. Drain the noodles with the strainer from earlier. Once drained, move the noodles to the pan with the bacon.
- Turn the stove up to medium-high heat. Season noodles and bacon with pepper and salt if desired. Stir and turn regularly.
- After cooking for a minute or two, pour soy sauce into pan. Continue stirring, mixing everything together. Spice with red pepper flakes. After a couple more minutes on the stove, add more soy sauce if needed. 9. Move noodles to one half of the pan. Take 1 egg and crack it over the side of the pan, and let it fall into the empty half of the pan. Mix egg in pan and let it cook for a minute or two. Cut up the egg and stir in with the rest of the pan’s contents.
- Continue cooking and turning for 3 or 4 more minutes.
- Empty into bowl and enjoy.
*I found this today and it's just an idea to do with Ramen. I like Ramen noodles but now that I know how to actually use them and cook with them, I appreciate them a lot more. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe, I will let you know I haven't tried it yet. So, if you do decide to make it, let me know how it turns out. I have made some other recipes with Ramen and will try to get them online for you soon. Thanks!*

| Pulled Chicken BBQ Sandwich
This low-calorie, low-fat version of the classic bbq sandwich will be a new family favorite!
33 Minutes to Prepare and Cook
Ingredients
* 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
* A dash of salt and pepper
* 14 Tbsp (about a half bottle) KC Masterpiece Low Calorie Classic Blend BBQ Sauce
* 6 whole wheat hamburger bun
Directions
Place
chicken breasts, along with salt and pepper to taste, in a large pot of
water and boil until fully cooked through. (Time will vary depending on
whether you are using fresh or frozen chicken.)
Once the chicken
is cooked, use a fork to pull the meat apart so it is thickly shredded.
(Shredding too finely will cause the sandwich to become mushy once
sauce is added.) Place pulled chicken in a large bowl.
Add a half bottle (approx. 7 servings worth, or about 14 tbsp.) of BBQ sauce. Toss until chicken is coated.
Distribute
chicken evenly onto buns. You may choose to toast the buns first, or
add toppings like lettuce or red onion to the mixture, or spread a
small amount of the sauce right onto the bun before assembling. This
delicious alternative to the classic bbq sandwich will be a hit any way
you serve it!
Makes about 6 sandwiches
