Dip Vegetables in Ramen Powder
When you think about dipping foods, you can probably imagine dipping them in a bowl of creamy sauce , often crazy. This is usually done to make the chips even tastier and the vegetables more addictive, but for the latter, you don’t necessarily need a sour cream base. All you need is a fine, aromatic powder that will stick to the freshly cut surface of the vegetable. All you need is ramen powder.
Dip vegetables in dry seasoning – an option for wiping off wet dust – I did not come up with alone. Our editor-in-chief told me that he saw carrots go with a bag of dry ranch, and Sokhla El Wiley from Bon Appetit recently shared her inspired idli goi ” Ranch Fun Dip ” – a savory blend of nutritional yeast, pistachios, Aleppo peppers, and more. and a whole bunch of savory spices – with Food52.

All this talk of dry flavoring powders got me thinking about the ramen seasoning bags in my closet. I cook a lot of cold ramen bowls (with peanut sauce), but I dont dare to throw away the seasoning bag that comes with the block of noodles. It’s precious. I usually sprinkle them on popcorn or fries , but last night I sprinkled the powder on a plate, then dipped freshly chopped cucumber spears and a bunch of aromatic dust in it until I ate all the cucumbers in my grocery drawer (which was one of them) … one and a half cucumber).
If you are familiar with ramen seasoning, you can probably guess how delicious it was. The cold, crunchy, slightly sweet cucumber was the perfect foil for the heavily salty and meaty powder that adhered to the freshly cut vegetable just like Fun Dip sticks to the lollipop. (I swear Solhi’s mind is a miracle.) The amount of powder that is applied to your crudité is easy to control, but keep in mind that this works best with fresh cut vegetables as you need that moisture. Dry pre-cut foods simply do not have enough sticking strength to make the powder stick.
The carrots, radishes, scallions and cherry tomato halves are delicious here and you’re only limited by your collection of ramen powder, which is one of the cheapest collections you can get. (Beef powder is a good starting point, though; it has a slight sweetness that I love a lot.)
