As most members know, I have made a hobby out of writing tutorials. Not long ago I remarked to someone that a well written tutorial should be like a recipe. Simple and precise.
And I started laughing because it occurred to me I'd never written a recipe.
Well, here goes: A simple recipe in illustrated tech tutorial style:
You will need two microwave-safe bowls. My favorites are old-school glass bowls: 1 quart and 1.5 quart size.
Ingredients: One 3 ounce package ramen (any flavor)
2 cups water
1/2 cup of frozen mixed vegetables (any flavor) Note that one typical 16 or 32 ounce bag of frozen veggies will make several ramen hack meals.
Place 1/2 cup frozen vegetables in one of the bowls. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. (You may need to vary the time based on your microwave's power)
Remove the veggies from the microwave and set aside. Place the ramen noodles in the second bowl. Cover with 2 cups water. (Do not add the flavor packet at this time.) Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Combine the cooked veggies with the cooked ramen noodles. Add flavor packet. Stir. Place back into your microwave oven and microwave on high for 1 minute.
Serves 2 (or 1 depending on how hungry you are.)

Great concept: Recipes as tutorials. How do you open the bags???
LOL
But.... Cheryl, you will still do wonderful recipe-like tutorials on tech stuff too, won't you?
This cooking thing is not a new obsession, right?
Cheryl,
Who would have thought you would post a recipe? Really, I get your point about the tutorials... and the photos really are nice. The first tech post I really understand... how sad is that? I'm still reading and learning though, and I guess that's a start! Fun post, and everyone is really enjoying it.
That was a recipe? LOL! Open Ramen noodles pour in veggies, push button on microwave?
Sorry, won't make the short list to my "ARDELL's Abundanza Extravaganza"
