Honestly the only thing I hate about Chicken Salad is the cabbage. I'm not much a veggie eater, and when you add cabbage, it can't be that great. However, I tend to make it without the cabbage, and I'll be trying this recipe from Astray Recipes very soon!

Ingredients:

-1 pack Ramen noodles

-3 cups Cooked chicken cubed

-½ Head cabbage, finely Chopped

-1 Onion chopped

-½ cup Slivered almonds chopped

-2 tablespoons of Sesame seeds

-¼ cup Canola oil

-A dash of Sesame oil

-1 tablespoon of Sugar

-3 tablespoons of Rice wine vinegar

-½ teaspoon of Pepper

-1 pack Ramen noodles seasoning

Directions:

Chop cabbage, add finely chopped onions and cubed cooked chicken. Add chopped almonds and crushed ramen noodles. Mix remaining ingredients and them pour over salad. Mix well. Serve chilled.

I know what you're thinking, “Beef Stir Fry with Ramen?”. Yes it's possible, and it's delicious. Our friends over at CD Kitchen have some of the best recipes on the web, and that includes some of the top Ramen recipes.

Serves 8

Ingredients:

-1 1/4 pound beef flank steak, thinly sliced

-3 packages Ramen noodles, Oriental flavor

-2 cups water

-1 jar sliced mushrooms

-1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

-1/2 pound broccoli, chopped

-1 medium onion, chopped

-1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, low sodium

-2 tablespoons crushed red pepper

Directions:

1) Combine season packets from noodles, red pepper, soy sauce, 1/2 cup water and cornstarch, and mix well. Pour over beef strips, stirring to evenly coat meat. Marinate refrigerated for at least 1 hour.

2) Heat 1 tablespoon oil in wok or non-stick skillet. Stir broccoli pieces in oil for 1 minute. Break noodles into medium size pieces and add to skillet with 1 1/2 cups of water. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove noodles and broccoli from skillet and keep warm.

3) Heat other tablespoon of oil in skillet. Stir-fry beef with marinade and onions in hot oil for about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for about 5 more minutes or until beef is no longer pink. Spoon beef and pan juices over noodles and serve.

Now I love grilling just like any other guy, but this has to be the craziest recipe I've heard that someone grilled. Of course when you're in college, you try anything! Campus Squeeze posts the best recipes for college kids, so this isn't much of a shocker from the rest of the site. Your grilled Ramen cake will have chewy spots and moist spots, but every bite will be flavorful and fun to eat. Tear it apart with chop sticks, with friends to dig in with you. Remember to add the best bbq sauce you can!

Directions:

1) Marinate ramen cake in sauce (Click here for sauce suggestions), flipping to be sure of absorption throughout the noodle cake (about 20 mins, just enough time to get your fire going). Ramen cake is ready to be grilled when it has become tender, but still cohesive. Place on medium flame grill (charcoal is best).

2) Lift corner every minute or so to look for char marks (about 3 minutes). A little smoke should inform you that it’s about ready to flip. Flip when it’s getting crunchy and black/golden brown spots cover one side. Be sure to detach the whole thing with your spatula before moving it, or else the cake may pull apart, creating a much less appetizing mess (and frustration).

3) Serve plain or with chives, scallions, grilled tofu or veggies, etc. If there is any remaining marinade drizzle it over top of the noodles
