Oriental ramen noodle chicken casserole

Really? An oriental ramen noodle chicken casserole! 

What on earth is an oriental ramen noodle chicken casserole?

This morning I was watching a YouTube video of one of my favourite on-line cooks, Hilah Johnson of Hilah Cooking. Hilah was making a chicken enchilada casserole and it inspired me to make a chicken casserole for dinner. 

Check out the YouTube video.

 

 

Ingredients

Asparagus, Baby spinach, Celery, Jalapeño and Cheddar seasoning mix, Chicken, Coon cheese, Green chillies, Leek, Noodles, Red chillies, Sour cream, Spinach leaves, Sugar snap peas

Method

Watch the video to see how I just bung things in together.  

There’s nothing special about how you do this. I’m using a frying pan because it is a good size and it’s oven safe.

The cooking time was a bit of a guess, it could have just as easily been 30 minutes I think.

Why do I like Hilah?

I’ve been following Hilah on YouTube, Twitter and Instagram for years. She’s just very cool. I like the videos she produces and her style. If you like Texans, you’ll love Hilah. Like another favourite Texan, viz., Jules from Jules Strawberry, Hilah now lives in California.  

Hilah also produces a video series aptly named, “Put it in my mouth” in which she wears an ‘I ❤️ snacks’ T-shirt and eats things that people from all over the world send her to try.

So how did my chicken casserole turn out?

It was good, albeit a little salty. The quantity of Jalapeño and Cheddar burger mix was probably too much. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. I’ve saved half for dinner tomorrow night.

Yummy Lummy quick tip on cooking sweet corn

Cooking sweet corn is easy if you’re a lazy cook. I’ve found an easy method so long as you have between 45 minutes and an hour to allow for cooking. 

Check out this quick YouTube video

 

 

I know some people like to use the microwave oven but in my mind, the corn lacks something when cooked that way. With the method, I describe you can also add some aromatic spices or herbs like rosemary and garlic in the wrapped aluminium foil. 

Tonight’s dinner

For tonight’s dinner, I had some chicken wings which I laid out on a couple of pieces of Helga’s pumpkin seed bread in a large frying pan. I added some super hot chilli flakes to the chicken as well as some salt and cracked black pepper. I also added a little olive oil to the chicken to help keep the skin from burning. 

Along with the aluminium foil wrapped ear of sweet corn, I put the chicken and bread in an oven at 200 °C for 20 minutes and then turned it down to 150 °C for 25 minutes. 

The meal turned out nicely. The fried bread was a luxurious touch.

What would you prefer on a sandwich? Butter or dip?

Butter or dip? It’s not a meaning of life question, but what would you prefer on a sandwich?  

Butter I hear you scream. Well I went with dip!

 

For lunch today I made a sandwich with a piece of chicken schnitzel. Normally I’d add butter to the bread but today instead of butter I went with dip. So butter or dip? I went with dip. 

Couldn’t you use butter and dip?

I support I could have gone with both but really that is not necessary. As my girth increases, I really need to stop doubling up on things. 

What went into the sandwich?

I bought a fresh bread roll from Coles as well as one of those heart shaped pieces of chicken schnitzel (I described this a few posts ago). I also had a premade spring onion dip as well as some grated Coon cheese. The leafy green vegetable you can see in the photographs is kale. Yeah I know, it’s trendy and hipster. If you know me well, you know I’m neither trendy nor hipster. I like the taste of kale. See what I don’t like about kale by watching the video

How did it taste?

It was a pretty good sandwich. Please try making one yourself and letting me know what you think.
