This was the dish I proudly prepared for our first ever dinner guests who ordered in a pizza and didn’t bother to show up.
4 packs of instant Ramen (only buy the ones without MSG. Unfortunately I didn’t know what MSG was at the time and now have a strong reaction to it).
4 thick slices of Eggplant
4 slices Swiss Cheese
4 Cups of crushed Corn Flakes, 1 cup flour (Corn is best)
Salt
Olive Oil
Salt both sides of the Eggplant and let sit for an hour or so. Mix flour and Corn flakes. Wipe salt off the Eggplant, oil liberally and cover with corn flake/flour mix. Fry in Olive oil at medium temp. until very soft (use a fork to test). Meanwhile make the ramen soup as per instructions then drain all liquid, and divide into four bowls. Throw a slice of cheese on each piece of Eggplant while still in the pan then plop one on top of each bowl of noodles.
Serve and watch food until cold.
