Foil Pack Ramen Noodles
Foil Pack Ramen Noodles is a recipe I’m so excited to share! I love summer camping and foil-pack meals, and this one turned out AMAZING!
I’ve shared foil pack chicken, pork, shrimp, and beef, but getting the noodles just right was tricky until now!
After some trial and error, I finally nailed it! These noodles are saucy, tender, and packed with veggies and sausage. It’s a delicious and easy meal that the whole family will love!
Ingredients In Foil Pack Ramen Noodles
- Ramen Noodles: The base of the dish. Any flavor works since you won’t use the seasoning packets. Save or toss the packets, but don’t add them to this recipe!
- Smoked Sausage: Use your favorite kind! Turkey sausage is lighter. I like a mix of beef and pork sausage.
- Frozen Corn and Shelled Edamame (or Peas): Adds texture and flavor with no extra prep. Use them straight from the freezer—no need to thaw or boil first.
Sauce Ingredients
- Cornstarch: Thickens the sauce.
- Lite (Low-Sodium) Soy Sauce: Adds a salty, delicious flavor. Low-sodium helps control saltiness.
- Sriracha Sauce: Gives a spicy kick. Adjust to your heat preference, but reducing it will also reduce flavor.
- Brown Sugar: Balances the spiciness with sweetness. Adjust to taste.
- Chicken Broth: Adds more flavor than water.
- Toasted Sesame Oil: Adds a great flavor. Make sure it’s toasted, not regular.
- Garlic Paste and Ginger Paste: Adds depth to the sauce.
Foil Pack Ramen Noodles Recipe Tips
- Use Heavy Foil: Prevent tearing and ensure even cooking with heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Extra-wide foil makes it easier to wrap.
- Soak Ramen Right: Follow the recipe to soak the ramen properly for even cooking.
- Fold Right: Seal the foil packs well but leave some space for steam.
- Let Rest: Let the foil packets sit for a minute after cooking to let the food rest and flavors to intensify.
- Watch for Steam: Open the packets carefully to avoid steam burns. Use tongs or oven mitts for safety.
Quick Tip
Is it safe to cook with foil? The CDC says there are no big risks with using foil in home cooking. (Read here and here).
