3 pkg ramen noodles
4 green onions,chopped
2 pkg ramen noodle seasoning from packages
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 can(s) sliced water chestnuts, diced fine
1 3/4 Tbsp soy sauce, light
1/2 c shredded meat,or seafood (mock crab,salad shrimp)-
1 dash(es) hoisin sauce (depends on taste)
vegetable oil to make a thin layer to fry
2-3 dash(es) sesame oil to add to frying oil
1 bottle sweet and sour sauce for dipping or whatever sauce you prefer

Steps:

1. Cook ramen noodles (without seasoning) according to normal instruction,drain, dump into a large bowl. Add to noodles the beaten eggs,chopped green onions,chopped water chestnuts, 2 packages of seasoning from the noodles,soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and any meats or fish as desired (must be in small pieces)
2. Heat oil in frying pan, add afew drops of the sesame oil to the regular oil- then drop noodles by forkful into pan-(I use tongs and grab about 2 tablespoons of noodle mixture to form each patty). Fry until brown (about 4 minutes on med high) then turn over and brown other side- Remove from pan and place on paper towel lined dish until drained. Serve on a platter-warm (they like them cold also) with dipping sauces such as hoisin,sweet and sour, ranch dressing- (you pick it and they can dip it-whatever you have available but an oriental taste seems to fit best.) Hint: To make for a larger crowd just double everything and add to 3 /6/9 additional ramen noodle packages- add pkgs by 3 and just double the ingredients.
