2 packages chicken ramen

2 tsp. chili oil

3 T. rice vinegar

1 handful fresh basil, chopped

1 handful cilantro, chopped

1 head of lettuce, chopped (I used 1/3 head of romaine, boston bibb, and red leaf)

Optional add-ins: grilled shrimp or grilled chicken

 

Cook both packages of ramen, adding only one seasoning packet to the water.  Drain, add noodles back into pot. Add 2 tsp. chili oil and 3 T. rice vinegar and stir. (If you don’t mind how the basil and cilantro looks wilted, add it now. If you want the herbs to be pretty, wait until the noodles are chilled. IMO, it doesn’t taste the same, I highly suggest adding the basil and cilantro in this step.)  Chill noodles in the fridge; when they are cold enough for you, put handful or more of lettuce in bowls. Place large spoonful of tasty chilled ramen on top. Add chicken or shrimp (if you would like, of course). Enjoy!
