One of my favorite lunches is Peanut Butter Ramen Noodles, which is a recipe my husband invented. Here is another way to use ramen noodles and the first thing you do is throw the flavor dust packet in the trash! Your family will love this Ramen Noodle Frittata. It's very versatile. You can use different vegetables or ground meat in it. The funny thing is that it calls for Oyster sauce and I grabbed hoisin sauce instead, which worked just fine. Then I looked up the difference between the two -

Hoisin sauce is made primarily with soybeans with other ingredients like garlic, sugar and various spices. Oyster sauce does contain the seafood after which it is named. ... Hoisin sauce contains various spices and is sweeter. While oyster sauce contains sugar as well, it is not as sweet as hoisin sauce.

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Cook: 20 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

One 3-ounce package ramen noodles (seasoning packet discarded)

1½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

8 ounces ground chicken

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

2 cups shredded coleslaw mix

6 scallions, chopped

8 large eggs

2 tablespoons pickled ginger, sliced into thin strips

Directions

1Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain and toss with ½ teaspoon sesame oil; set aside.

2Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and 2 teaspoons oyster sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coleslaw mix, scallions, remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil and a big pinch of salt. Cook until the coleslaw wilts, about 2 minutes. Remove the mixture to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.

3Whisk the eggs, pickled ginger, ¾ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the ramen and the chicken mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until the eggs start setting, about 1 minute. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom and almost set on top, 7 to 8 minutes. Invert the frittata onto a plate, then slide back into the skillet and continue to cook until the egg is set, 3 to 6 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter.
