Make a Ramen Wreath

My son would eat ramen daily if he could.

What better way to top his gifts than with a wreath of one of his favorite things?

To make:

Cook plain ramen noodles in boiling water until just soft, about 2 minutes.

Drain and let cool on paper towels.

On a parchment lined baking sheet, form a wreath shape with the ramen, packing the ramen tightly together.  It helps to form it around a small bowl in the middle, then remove the bowl before placing in a 250 degree oven for approximately 1 hour until wreath is set. 

Have yourself a Merry Ramen Christmas!
