Share recipe

Ingredients

  • Vegetable or peanut oil for frying
  • 2 packages (260g) Shin Black Ramen, (use 2 noodles, use seasoning packets but omit the vegetable packets)
  • 1 cup (140g) toasted salted cashews
  • 1 cup (140g) candied pecans
  • 1 cup (170g) M&M’s
  • 2 cups (72g) salted kettle cooked potato chips
  • 1 cup (42g) mini pretzel sticks

Directions

  1. Fill a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (176°C). 
  2. Fry dry ramen noodles in chunks, stirring as they fry up and get golden and crunchy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Season with seasoning packets immediately after frying so the seasoning adheres. Pick and choose your seasoning. I used 1 package each of the red and gold, then let the fried ramen noodle chunks cool completely. 
  4. Combine and toss everything together. Serve and enjoy!
