Sample Recipe
Crunchy Ramen Snack Mix
WHAT YOU NEED Ramen, crackers or chips, and a small amount of seasoning. BUILD IT Crush the dry ramen, crackers, or chips into bite-size pieces. Add only part of the seasoning packet, close the approved container or bag, and shake until evenly mixed. Save a little crunch for the end and adjust the flavor slowly. KEEP CONNECTING If you try it, give it a name and tell me what you would change next time. SAFETY: Make and eat this recipe at your own risk. Check allergies, dietary restrictions, and package directions. Use only approved ingredients and facility-permitted preparation methods; never improvise heating methods or tools.
