This has to be on of the most universal foods..... Today I made Ramen noodles with shrimp, broccoli and carrots with a side of egg rolls. OH YEAH!

(sorry for the fork, I'm fresh out of choppers...)
Whats your best Top Ramen recipe?
I never knew how stupid I was about ramen until I read an article about how they make the noodles and how it is almost a cuisine unto itself...I think we always associate it with the 10 for a buck packets of dried noodles with a very salty addition of the packet...far from it...

Your ramen looks good.

I also love ramen, and the 10 for a buck is a great deal. Because I have to watch my sodium, the first thing I do is throw away those packets and add my own seasonings and ingredients. I once saw a book for college dorm students, on how to use your own flavors for ramen. I tried to find it again for another member, but was not successful.
I agree Habs...I have a case of the crappy ramen with the packets in my earthquake box...just for the noodles...throw the packets away...plus the dogs like the noodles...good disaster food...and of course plenty of water to cook them...if our spice cabinet were to still exist...I would spice them myself!!! : :D
I use the packages, and cook the ramen pretty much the same way as Snelly.
I saw an article online that was written towards college students. It even had breakfast ideas... Its crazy all the stuff that can be made from them.

I bet you could smoke them noodles when their still in Brick form ;D Or maybe not :-X
Today's breakfast: Ramen Noodle with Ham, Egg and Cheese
Doesnt look pretty, but it was pretty darn good. May need some tweaking though..

Lucky me. I don't have to buy those packets. When I get the hungries for noodles I just decide what kind I want and go to the local noodle shop that specializes in that type and have a batch of freshly made. It seems that every other restaurant in Hawaii serves some form of Japanese or Chinese noodles (and the rest have Thai or Vietnamese).
I also love Ramen. I sometimes just put a spoon full of cheese whiz in it. But most of the time I clean the fridge out of leftovers and see what will be good in it. I had some baked salmon the other day and added some green onions and red peppers. But the skys the limit for me.

I cant wait to get to Hawaii just to have some Poke.... oh and of course SPAM!
Eeeeeww SPAM, gak Why would anyone go to Hawaii and with all the good culinary pleasures known to the islands want to eat SPAM. That stuff should be kept in the bunker so that when the big one comes you have something to throw at the enemy. lol
I know for a fact that my sons lived on ramen noodles while in college and I now have two granddaughters in college eating lots on them noodles and eat them sometimes three time a day...lol and yes on a cold day they go well with just about anything...
We buy Ramen Noodles by the case,,,,,,,,,I love em with gun powder on them.
Taby takes bunches back to colage with her and cooks them, drains off the water then adds the seasonings,,,,,,wonder were she got that from. ::)
Wow!! Thanks for that link.
Before Rachel Ray became well known, she use to do a weekly segment on the local news. That was the first time I ever saw someone use ramen noodles without the packet.
I lived on Ramen in college too...but my Lord the salt...I made kraft mac and cheese too...doesn't mean it's good for ya...I love that brick of noodles....lots of variations for those...blank canvas...
I buy the noodles at the dollar store. I get about 8 - 10 bricks of noodles in the package. I add various spices and dried vegetables along whatever meat or seafood I have. Got to try it with a scrambles egg. Looks good.
