Top Ramen Chili
Ingredients
- 4 packs (520g) of Top Ramen® Chili, (use 4 noodles and 4 seasoning packets)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 6 oz imitation crab, finely diced
- ½ cup (115g) Kewpie mayonnaise
- ¼ cup (58g) Sriracha
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- Furikake, for garnish
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
- Flaky salt
Instructions
Cook ramen noodles in boiling water, using all their seasoning packets, then drain.
Press noodles into a ⅛-inch sheet tray lined with plastic wrap, cover with more plastic wrap, then invert onto another sheet tray and weigh down with 8 soup cans or something similar. Refrigerate for 2 hours or ideally overnight.
Remove ramen from sheet trays and trim edges. Then cut in half lengthwise, making two equal strips. Then cut into 1-inch strips.
Spray 1-inch ramen strips with vegetable oil and fry in the air fryer at 350 for 14 minutes or until golden and crispy.
To make the spicy crab, to a medium mixing bowl add kewpie mayo, Sriracha, and garlic, and mix to combine. Add in the crab, season with salt to taste, and fold together.
Top each 1-inch piece of fried ramen with spicy crab, diced or sliced jalapeño, Sriracha, and furikake. Plate and enjoy.
