I brought this recipe in to church for a potluck. Since it's Lenten season, we couldn't have any meat.. or dairy products until Easter. I used canola oil to stir fry the ramen noodles and walnuts.. my cousin even mentioned that you can stir fry them in a dry pan (just for a shorter period of time). This went over very well! I hardly had anything to bring back home. :)<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"03\/11\/2012 22:43","GUID":"426670C4491C41CEABDCE28560287A61","MemberId":1679864,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"amethystra","SubmittedDate":"03\/11\/2012 22:43"},{"Comment":"

I loved this and will definitely make it again!!!
