Notes
- The OG recipe used a discontinued Nissin pre-flavored ramen. I prefer to use the flavored GGE snacks vs. the dried ramen cakes because the flavor and color is closer to what my Mom made.
- It is important to add the ramen crunchy part after dressing the rest of the salad. Otherwise, the noodles get soggy too quickly.
- If you are planning for leftovers, serve the ramen crunchies on the side so they don't go gross and soggy in the fridge the next day.
