Prison Spread Recipe
You might wonder about the origins of these recipes and how they've become a part of prison culture. They not only provide a way to break the monotony of standard prison meals but also represent the collaboration and community among inmates.
Ingredients
- 1 Package of ramen noodles
- 1 Cup Hot water
- 1 Can Tuna or Mackerel (optional)
- 1-2 Single cheese slices or a handful of shredded cheese (optional)
- Snack items (e.g., chips, crackers, or spicy cheese snacks) for texture and flavor
- Seasoning from the ramen packet or any available seasonings (optional)
Instructions
- Break up the ramen noodles while they are still in the package. Once broken into small pieces, open the package and place the noodles into a bowl that is safe to use with hot water.
- Boil the hot water using a kettle or microwave. Carefully pour the hot water into the bowl of noodles, ensuring that it covers them completely. Cover the bowl with a lid or a plate to contain the heat and let it sit for approximately 5 minutes.
- After the noodles have softened, drain any excess water from the bowl. If you happen to have leftovers of prison spread from a previous meal, you can add it now for enhanced flavor.
- Mix in the seasoning packet that came with the ramen noodles, or your choice of available seasonings. If you have any, add the canned tuna or mackerel and cheese to the mixture. These protein sources are prison staples that add vital nutrients and make the meal more satisfying.
- Crush snack items like chips or crackers into small pieces and fold them into the spread. These ingredients not only provide texture and flavor but are also common elements in a prison spread.
- Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together. If the mixture is too dry, a little extra hot water can be added to reach the desired consistency. Your prison spread is now ready to be enjoyed as is or served over bread or more crackers.
