    Complete waste of time. Flavors were just OK, but I ended up putting the lot into a saucepan to cook...which is what I should have done in the first place. I may have higher expectations on Asian style dishes because I am Asian. My kids love noodles & Asian food. My biggest eater son didn't like the dish.

    As an incredibly broke student who can't afford any cookware or a microwave for her apartment, this recipe was an absolute lifesaver! For the past month I've had to get seriously creative with my cooking using just foil. Not even looking for an AB recipe (Alton is my hero everyone I googled "how to cook ramen in the oven" and was delighted to find Good Eats covered such a bizarre task. I changed the recipe slightly to suit whatever I had on hand, but overall loved this meal!

    This was easy/fun to make, & it is a picky child-friendly supper! Since we homeschool our sons, it's a great opportunity. Good Eats is often, a nice science lesson, plus a lovely edible experiment!
    We changed it around to suit our family. We reduce the amount of salt, & replaced 1/3 of the liquid with water. Better to under salt than over. Take a HUGE baking pan, line it with foil, then each person puts the meat/vegetable combination they want. Add the liquid, & tight foil cover on top, use a chop stick to make a hole on each end to vent. We tripled the ingredients. 2 of my sons used steak strips (Tysons precooked package. Instead of mirin & red pepper flakes, we substituted hot sauce. We learned the hard way a long time ago, little boys DON'T like biting into pepper flakes! Increase cooking time to 450 degrees for 35mins.
