Ramen

I had plans for a Ramen stir-fry tonight (there were recipes in the paper this weekend). I guess I was craving Asian, because on the way home I stopped at TJ's to get teriyaki chicken, sushi, and egg rolls to "round out" the ramen. Not very frugal. But the ramen is:

Ramen stir-fry:
2 pkg ramen, flavor packets discarded - 0.40
1/2 an onion, thinly sliced - 0.15
2 small carrots, julienned - 0.15
1/2 lb summer squash, julienned - 0.40
2 T soy sauce - 0.18
1 T canola oil - 0.04
1 T rice vinegar - 0.08
1/2 T sesame oil - 0.10
1 clove garlic, pressed - 0.05
1/2 tsp ginger, minced - 0.05
2 T chopped cilantro -0.10

Total: $1.70 for 4 servings, or 0.43/serving

Of course, the egg rolls were 0.40 each, the chicken was $1 per serving, and the sushi was $1.50 each (we split a package of 8 slices). All told, $3.33 per person, not too terribly bad for scratching my itch for Asian food.
