We have about 6 packages of spaghetti (see blurry background), which is wild because spaghetti is not one of our home staples. The last time I witnessed spaghetti being prepared was when my stepmom was making a giant bowl of cold noodles for one of those big Asian community holiday dinner parties. By extension, the next thing I know we always have are stray bags/cups of ramen. The other thing I remember we have is a collection of fancy soy sauces from the last time I was home last December (and I used the whiskey barrel aged shoyu to workshop some caramel recipes). My dad had apparently walked into one of those cute specialty markets and came out with a collection of sauces from Japan. Because I should also mention, last year, he had ordered a few packages of wagyu and a little hibachi grill; and we legit ate steaks with garlic pieces, onions and peppers, and lots of dipping sauces for 3-4 days. This year, the hibachi grill remains untouched on the counter next to the stove. It apparently serves as a pot holder these days... because wouldn't you know that he ordered more wagyu to have this year, except that it was cooked on a cast iron on the regular stove...
I literally have no words.
So these cookies are ramen cookies! It all came together when I also found some roasted seaweed packets (several months out of date) and canned corn which I roasted first to get some of the moisture out.
Then the dough was basically a reduced sugar sugar cookie:
1 stick butter
1/4c sugar
2T white shoyu
1 egg
1c self rising flour
1/3c red lobster biscuit mix from pantry cookie #2 because I had leftovers and I thought it would give an extra nice savory brothy element
1/2c roasted corn
1/2 package roasted seaweed, roughly crumbled up
1/3 package ramen noodles, crumbled
I would leave out the red lobster biscuit mix next time - which is easy because it's not usually an ingredient I have on hand. I'm also convinced it affected how it spread. The A-SHA ramen was on the thinner side, and I think it made the crunchy bits in the cookie less enjoyable - I'd either leave out the dried noodles entirely or use the classic thicker variety from Maruchan.
Overall, an enjoyable first iteration as a little biscuit as a salty snack in the middle of the day.
