1/4 cup sliced SPAM
1/4 cup sliced kamaboko fish cake
1/2 cup shredded cabbage

Stir fry for a few minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add in the cabbage and half of the green onions. Stir fry for a few minutes.
Add in the kamaboko and eggs. Stir fry for a few minutes. Then remove it from the pan and set it aside in a separate bowl or plate. Using the same pot, drizzle in 1 tablespoon oil. Add in the cooked noodles and fry for a few minutes. Drizzle in the sesame oil to the noodles. Then add in the saimin dashi and give it a quick stir to combine the dashi with the noodles. Add in the shoyu and stir until the noodles are evenly coated in the flavors. Lastly, add back the cooked toppings. Mix everything together and stir fry for a few minutes. Cook longer if you want crispier noodles.

Easy Rotisserie Chicken Wrap
Added on Aug 13, 2026
2 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or ranch dressing
1 cup chopped lettuce or greens
1/2 cup diced or sliced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or mozzarella)
Optional: Sliced red onion, avocado, or bacon bits

Mix the base: In a small bowl, toss the shredded chicken with your choice of mayo or ranch dressing until well coated. Microwave the flour tortillas for 15 to 20 seconds so they become soft and easy to fold without cracking. Lay each tortilla flat. Add a layer of chopped lettuce, followed by the dressed chicken, tomatoes, and cheese down the middle. Roll it up by folding in the left and right sides of the tortilla by about an inch. Bring the bottom flap up over the filling, tuck tightly, and roll forward into a neat cylinder.

Crisp (Optional): Place the wrap seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, then cut in half and serve.

Enjoy!
