Beer Ramen - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 package ramen noodles, broken fairly small (Throw away the 'flavor pack', 92-97% SODIUM, your getting more than enough Sodium without this!)
    3 tablespoons oil
    1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed French onion soup (Cream of Mushroom works well too.)
    1 3/4 cups beer or 1 3/4 cups ale (1 soup can full, I'll leave it to you to find a use for the rest of the bottle of beer!)
Preparation
    Heat Oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
    Add broken Noodles.
    Stir fry'til golden brown.
    Add Soup and Beer.
    Cover, bring to a slow boil.
    Reduce heat, simmer 6 minutes.
    Uncover, simmer to thicken 4 minutes longer.
    Serve, with a baguette for sauce control.
    A raw vegetable platter drizzled with Key Lime Juice and a cold Ale is a natural with this.
    ADDENDUM: The last time I did this one I had some leftover grilled Andoulle sausages which I had frozen. I nuked 2 of them to thaw them and add them to the soup. Both of us were suitably impressed.
