This Rosh Hashanah I teamed up with Ralphs to bring you an exciting NEW dish for your holiday menu! Ramen noodle kugel. I wanted to take a classic recipe, and give it a twist by adding new ingredients to it, while still keeping some of the original (and beloved!) flavors. It just so happens that noodle kugel is my absolute favorite comfort food. While I generally have a sweet tooth, I actually prefer salt and pepper noodle kugel over sweet noodle kugel. It also just happens to be the perfect base to add on to, since it’s savory but subtle. While walking through the isles of Ralphs I came upon a package of ramen noodles and thought it would make a perfect swap for egg noodles. Adding spicy mayo, sriracha and chopped green onions were the final delicious additions to the dish.
Ramen Noodle Kugel
This recipe merges comfort food fav Ramen noodles with a holiday classic, noodle kugel to create a dish everyone will enjoy.

One thought on “Ramen Noodle Kugel”
Hi leah! Buy the ramen noodles in the bag (2.8oz bag) not the container that you add water in. Discard seasoning packet and only use noodles. Bring a large pot of water to boil then add noodles and cook for about 3- 5 minutes using tongs to separate the noodles into pieces. Drain water then combine noodles with remaining ingredients. The photos shown in the post were baked in an 8 3/4 inch pie pan and I actually prefer it slightly thicker so a smaller pan would also work. They can also be baked in muffin pans for individual servings. (I love serving things individual sized portions when entertaining to avoid having to cut anything and any additional work!) You can certainly add raisins or craisins but then I would remove the pepper and add a teaspoon of cinnamon and it will be more of a sweet kugel. Opt out of adding spicy may and scallions if opting for the sweeter taste.
