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.

Cooking Shortcuts

Keep prep short for Foil Pack Ramen Noodles:

  • Use Frozen Veggies: No prep needed. Shelled edamame and corn cook perfectly in the foil pack.
  • Store-Bought Shortcuts: Use pre-sliced green onions, refrigerated ginger paste, and garlic paste. You can also use garlic and ginger cubes from the freezer section.
  • Prepare Sauce Ahead: Make the sauce in advance and store in a mason jar in the fridge for quicker prep. Give it a good shake before using.
  • Use Smoked Sausage: It’s pre-cooked, so just heat it in the foil packs. This saves time.
  • Soak the Ramen: Soak noodles in hot tap water while prepping other ingredients. No need to boil ahead of time!

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).

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Foil: Use extra-wide heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing and ensure even cooking. Spray with cooking spray to avoid sticking. I tested in regular foil and had inconsistent results.
Note 2:ย Adjust to your heat preference. Reducing it may also reduce overall flavor.
Note 3: Use refrigerated garlic and ginger paste for even distribution. Fresh garlic and ginger tends to concentrate in one packet.
Note 4:ย Use the noodles only, discard the seasoning packets.
Note 5: Frozen shelled edamame works best. No need to thaw or boil before use. If you can't find edamame, use frozen peas.

    We made this when we were camping and it was a huge hit! Kids and adults both raved! Such a great foil dinner! It reminded us of Mongolian BBQ and we all agreed we liked this better. It was such a hit that the families we are camping with requested it again ๐Ÿฅณ
