far too much sodium for anyone

[Elvtin]

but it's soooooo gewd!

[Ivyrielle]

I actually cooked in college. My famous 5 cheese lasagna and other home cooked delights. Until I ran out of money. Then I made odd things of whatever was left in my pantry. The one that stands out in my mind was one semi-softish potato, one bendy carrot, and half a packet of lipton onion soup mix, baked in foil. Mmmm!

[Ivyrielle]

If you must eat ramen, add some chopped veggies and stir in a scrambled egg just before you take it off the stove for some nutritional content. ;)

[MickeyFinn]

Veggies? Eggs? You are living the high life!

[spyder913]

We couldn't cook in our dorms unless you count the microwave.

My method for top ramen is to remove the water and use about 1/2 to 2/3 of the seasoning on the noodles.

Part of the reason I like it is because of the high sodium content. MMMM!

[Figtoria]

I like ramen without any seasoning.

:-x

[Bedpost]

I like ramen without any seasoning.

:-x

You could just eat cardboard and get the same flavor. Which I believe is none

[Sparky]

I saw ramen a couple weeks ago in a gas station and haad a crazy crazy craving for it so I bought it :X It's not as good as it used to be.

[Inez]

Ewww never liked Ramen much...

[binder_pellinor]

Not all ramen are soup. I liked eating the dry japanese ramen. You rinse the cooked noodle then mix in the toppings before eating. It's been years but I found it to be very tasteful.

In college, I used to do group study with my asian buddies and we'll take turn making instant noodle. Some days, we'll cook ramen with veggies, egg, and fish paste. Other days we would crack open roasted eel or sardine cans to go with the soup.

Of all the flavor, I think my favorite one would be the pho instant noodle ones.

I never went away to college, thus I never ODed on Ramen noodles :D For that matter I never actually finished college... Some day very soon I shall fix that...

[Sparky]

Another variation I used to use on this recipe:

Upon completion of the noodles add 1/4 tsp salt.

It enhances the flavor and makes it so much better.

[lasirna]

The Korean Ramen instant noodles are good too. You can get the spicy seafood kind or the dry kind, forget what that is called but its got a brown sweet sauce. I had a korean roomate who used to get homemade Kim Chee sent down from her mom. Yummy stuff.

Man... that much salt can not be good for anything. That recipe is a heartattack in waiting...

[Boom]

I think Sparky is saying 1/4 tsp INSTEAD of the seasoning packing, not in addition to the seasoning packet.

At least I hope that is what he is saying. That seasoning packet has enough salt to stop a rhino. :X

[Bedpost]

Hey you need salt to help your body retain water... salt = good for you

[Sparky]

No, seasoning + salt!

[Noleader]

At least I hope that is what he is saying. That seasoning packet has enough salt to stop a rhino. :X

Looks like Sparks is hunting bigger game then Rhino :D

[Aarimus]

I like Ramen, sometimes eat them as is but usually dress them up with eggs, onions, peppers, meat...etc.

[MickeyFinn]

Hey you need salt to help your body retain water... salt = good for you

Yeah, and one glass of wine helps your heart. Better be safe and drink a few gallons per day!

[Bedpost]

Exactly, I'm glad you're catching on

[cogsliastro]

want a great ramen recipe??;)

in the water add a tbls of soy sauce,5 dashes of seasame oil,tsp garlic,tsp black pepper,and a pinch of sage,and the spice packet.
add a chopped hard boiled egg after its all done......best ramen you will ever eat.

[Ivyrielle]

When I do eat ramen (once every 5 years?), that's very close to what i do... definitely the soy sauce & sesame oil! I'd scramble a raw egg and stir it in like egg drop soup though. ;)

[cogsliastro]

you can definately add scrambled eggs......but the yolk dissolving in the broth is the secret.....it gives a great flavor and i reccomend,after your five years is up,that you try it with hard boild or just cook the egg in the broth itself.

[Ivyrielle]

Oh, by scramble, i should clarify I just mean the mixing of the white/yolk with a fork, not cooking it in a skillet first. ;)

Raw egg, into the broth... pour it slowly while you stir, and it's like egg drop soup. ;)
