Ingredients

• 1 bag Ramen Noodles (Beef works best here.)
• ½ Cup Potato-Brunoise (Brunoise is a fancy cooking term that basically means Super Small Dice, about ½ cm cubed)
• ¼ Cup Onion-Brunoise (see above)
• 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil.
• Salt and Pepper To Taste

Method

1. Break up the Ramen while in the bag, this can be done with your fist.
2. Boil the Ramen for three minutes, drain, set aside.
3. Sauté the potatoes and onion in one tablespoon of the olive oil for three to four minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Mix the remaining olive oil with the contents of the seasoning packet; use this mixture to coat the cooked Ramen.
5. Add the Ramen to the sautéing potatoes and onions, stir until mixed thoroughly and heated throughout.
6. Serve hot.

Makes two to three servings.

Side Note: Dicing Onions
The correct and easiest way to dice an onion is to cut the stem end off the onion, then cut the onion in half from top to bottom. This allows easier peeling. Once the onion is peeled, make several incisions from top to bottom in the onion, but not all the way through the root end. Then turn the onion to the side and chop perpendicular to the previous slices and the onion will fall apart into diced pieces.
