I have no idea where the name comes from, I googled it even and nothing obvious stood out. Anyway, I like canned salmon sometimes instead of canned tuna for sandwiches on occasion. I bet this would work great with smoked salmon too, but if you’re buying smoked salmon, you probably aren’t going to test it with ramen.

- 1 pack of ramen
- 1 can of salmon (tuna can size)
- 1/2 can of chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp garlic
Open the salmon can and drain (mostly drain). In a small saucepan, mix the tomatoes, salmon, olive oil, and spices and bring to a simmer. You will need to add enough water to the pan to cook the noodles in too. It will be between 1 cup and 1.5 cups depending on how much tomato liquid gets added. Once it’s simmering, add the ramen and the flavor packet. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Serve and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

This is a rather strange variation on Thai Tom Som Pla. Importfood.com has a more traditional recipe, very complicated. Parmesan cheese in a Thai soup?
hmm….TOMato and SA(l)Mon Ramen…
just a thought :]
I agree with Stephen. I think it’s from tomato and salmon too.
Great website–I will definitely use some of the recipes. Ramen noodles are so frugal. My “recipes” with ramen usually consist of putting different types of frozen veggies in.
Hey – nice site! I made a website devoted to ramen over the weekend. The address is http://www.ippudonyc.com
Tom Sam…. Tomato Salmon. Name isn’t that hard to figure out.
What simple but fun recipes. Thanks for sharing:-)
Jeff Erkhart I am curious on where you got your last name from.
