2-4 Carrots, thinly sliced

3 or 4 packages Ramen Noodles (beef, chicken or oriental flavor according to type of meat and personal taste)

Any other vegetables you enjoy sliced or diced are also likely to be wonderful in this dish. Canned Turkey or Chicken also work well.

Fill large saucepan 2/3 with water and place on High heat, when water begins to boil add Ramen Noodles, cook only until noodle bricks begin to separate.

I love this recipe and it is sooo quick and easy to make. I also like to add cooked onions to the sauce. Here are some of our favorite toppings.

Peanuts, cashews, apples, mandarin oranges, coconut, pineapple, crumbled bacon, banana, cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, shredded cheese, chinese noodles and raisins.
