I thought I was the only one who adds a can of tuna to instant ramen. My wife thinks it’s an abomination. We’ve started referring to my concoctions as “exotic and confronting”, but it is my comfort food.
I use one pack of seafood tom yum flavoured ramen, and one pack of Mi Goreng, cook them together in the microwave for three minutes, and add the tin of tuna for the last minute. I preheat a frying pan, I add the oil from the Mi Goreng pack and the oil from the tuna tin into the pan, and then empty the noodles, tuna, and broth into the frying pan and toss it around and fry it off until most of the liquid has been cooked off. Cook for a bit longer if you want some crispy bits in your noodles.
Really? It’s basically a form of pasta alla puttanesca, although there’s a specific version without a sauce that I can’t remember the name of. It’s pasta, tuna (usually canned), olive oil, salt, capers… it might have garlic too, I can’t remember. Anyway, doig it with ramen is just a massive shortcut and isn’t far off a traditional Italian dish.
