Recipe of the Week - 11/10/10 Ramen Incognito

I tell people about this and they think it sounds awful.
Actually this is really wonderful. The end result is incredibly
flavorful, and you can't tell that there is sauerkraut in
it; plus most people won't realize it's ramen they are
eating.

Very important! You need to start with a really good
salsa and balance it with the chiles you use. I used
a wonderful hot chipotle red salsa, so I added mild green
chiles. If I had been using a mild salsa I would have used
hot green chiles. This is not the place to use up the
leftover salsa that no one likes. I like the 505 chipotle
salsa and I often cook with several Safeway salsas. In
this case I used a homemade salsa.


Adjust this to your taste! The measurements are
basically a guideline. I also tried it with a tablespoon of
sour cream stirred in and shredded sharp cheddar cheese
on top - yummy.
