I do believe that the 2 tablespoons each of the spices are way off. I initially made this with one tablespoon of each and it was still off. Perhaps teaspoons would be in order but I'm not sure.
So I am teaching my son how to cook on a budget now that he's on his own. I saw this recipe and it took me back to my just getting started in adult life. Anyway what I had him do was buy the Ramen (10 for $3.00), 1/2 a rotisserie chicken, box of mushrooms. frozen peas, chicken stock and the spices (since he doesn't have ginger, onion powder and garlic powder). we followed the directions, but just a teaspoon of the spices and a dash of salt and pepper. But what we did was way out of left field, we added 1 cup chicken stock and 1 1/2 cup water. we dumped a hand full of peas, mushrooms and shred the chicken breast and let it come to a boil. Threw away the packet and added the top Ramen noodles for 3-5 min then served it up! It was really good, he loved it and It took me back to simpler times.
I agree with tho other reviewers who said that this recipe yielded too much spice. Because I read that prior to mixing the whole amount in I just added 3 tsps. to the soup. The spice amount seemed right but the ginger was strong. My guess
Waaay too much on the spices I'm going to try teaspoons next time around.
I did not use ginger but it still turned out great. I added kale and tuna to make it even better. All in all it was great. You can check the picture out on my page.
Seasoning was way off. Definitely too much ginger. And the recipe yielded too much seasoning. I used only half of the mixture and had added vegetables and more water and it still didn t taste great.
Holy Cow! Way to much ginger I started gagging! Hopefully you saw this comment before attempting because you really need to minimize the spices. I also ended up with almost half a cup of spice that was unusable. Like the idea though.
I put it everything as said and it came out with the water and spices turning into pudding. Tasted okay but it needed less spices.
