Ramen

Eggy Cheesy Ramen; This is college food, and it's damn good college food.  Ramen noodles are ramen noodles, but the addition of one egg and a slice of American cheese magically transforms this ho-hum cheap meal.

Eggy Cheesy Ramen

Cook the ramen noodles as you normally would.  Once the noodles are done, crack one egg into the pot and gently stir it around to break up the yolk.  While that cooks, prepare your soup cup.  Put one slice of American cheese into the bowl and add the noodles on top.  Stir to distribute the melting cheese and enjoy.  I never make plain ramen noodles anymore.

Ramen Dinner

Sometimes I will cook a package of ramen noodles and add fresh chopped bok choy, sliced mushrooms, green onions, and thinly sliced flat iron steak.  Delicious, a meal in a bowl.

tofu omelette (v)

When I was a vegan, I experimented a lot.  I never really liked eggs tio begin with, but I liked breakfast.  So I invented egg-free, egg replacement dishes.  This was one of my favorites.  I found this recipe in the same notebook where I had the foccacia recipe.  I made this so many times I forgot that I even had it written down anywhere!

Tofu Omelette
1 pkg. firm or extra firm style tofu, drained
to taste:
turmeric
garlic powder
onion powder
salt
pepper
finely chopped veggies of choice for filling:
green pepper
red onion
black olives
spionach

Grate the tofu gently on the large holes of a cheese grater.
Put the tofu in a large mixing bowl and gently stir in the seasonings.

Heat oil in a large skillet and arrange the tofu in a single layer.  Let cook, undisturbed, until the edges start to brown.  Place the chopped fillings on half of the big tofu round, and fold the other half over the fillings, just as an omelette.  Cover and cook until filling is hot.  Top with cheese if desired, and serve with hot sauce.
