Recipes for Ramen noodle salad? I need to use up some pkgs....

[battlemaiden]

[[i'm obviously stressed because I'm reorganizing my pantry. ;) It is a very small pantry and I often lose track of what is in the back. I also need some fresh ideas for meals....hence the pantry party- as my kids are calling it!]]

 

I bought a bunch of ramen noodles when we were living in the lodge with the limited kitchen. I never used them.

 

I once had a friend bring an oriental noodle salad for a dinner party and I loved it.

 

Apparently Cooks.com as a thousand variations---what is your favorite, easy version of a ramen salad?

 

Thanks.

We do a simple version. Cook ramen noodles and drain water. Add in the spice packet that comes with them and enough mayo to mix it up. Then add a can of water chestnuts and some cooked chicken and mix together. This is good warm but we prefer it after it has been in the refrigerator for a couple hours. I got the recipe from a Veterans lunch they were serving.
