We had one of my favorites tonight for supper. Background – Tim ate out lunch today (they went to Roadhouse Grill) and was not very hungry. I had high hopes for going out to eat Chinese (my all-time favorite), but Tim didn’t really want to go. So, I made us some rumien. What’s rumien, you ask? 🙂
Rumien is a Tim invention. Born out of necessity when he was in the military and had basically no money for luxuries like food. 😀 It’s a very cheap meal, and very filling. I love it becauses it’s warm and comforting and is a Tim creation – therefore, it reminds me of him and that is the main reason I love it!
Here’s how we make it – boil some water and cook rice until nearly done. Add 1 or 2 packages of ramen noodles (we’re partial to the Chicken Mushroom flavor), depending on how voraciously hungry you are. When the noodles are nearly done, we add eggs (1-2), then the seasoning packs from the ramen noodles, and finally cheese. Lately, we’ve been using a combination of pepperjack and american (we usually just tear up slices and use, but you can use shredded too). We add more seasoning (usually Tony’s and black pepper, the seasoning packs have about 2 times the RDA of sodium in each one 🙂 ). That’s it!
No, it ain’t gourmet by any stretch of the imagination, but we like it!
