Ramen Noodles
Momofuko (what a name) Ando, "the Noodle King", inventor of Ramen instant noodles died at age 96. Now that was a contribution to humanity and all college students. My two used to take cases of them back to school. The King is dead, long live the noodle.

Does anyone market just the Ramen noodles themselves, without any added sodium or seasoning packets? Mybe a 12oz bag or box? I like the idea of very fast-cook noodles in a small bowl with MY own seasonings. Out here in AZ, we see cellophane noodles and rice noodles which are very different. Seems like waste of money to pay more for the packaged cups or bowls and then throw away the seasoning packets. 0 -

I wouldn't buy the cups in the dollar store as you can't tell how old they are or where they might have come from. The dinner bowls I see in the supermarket are $3 to $4 each and a decent dinner portion for my wife and I would require at least two, if not three. The higher end Asian ones that you only have to add meat or fish to are $4 to $5 a box.0 -

I've never even seen the "bowls". We always bought the small packages, or even the full box of small packages. It doesn't get much cheaper.

Kimi's recipe is one I'll try. I have had them a lot of different ways...mostly with added Cajun/pepper seasoning.
WAY high in sodium!!
It's great, just do not use the seasoning packet, or use just a portion of it, or a seasoning of your choice. My wife uses a variety of different oriental seasonings, or a boullion cube or three. The Cajun/pepper seasoning sounds really good, too.
I like to add onion with the cabage, or maybe a couple of Shi*ake mushrooms.0 -
Well, girls, as long as we're exchanging recipes. I like to cook two packets of noodles and mix in a packet of Starkist Lemon pepper tuna.
I save the flavor packets to use as boullion for other recipes.0 -

cook them as directed, then drain. then cover in grated parm cheese, and add tobasco and crushed red pepper. Cheap breakfast, lunch, or dinner[:)]
Sounds good. If you're going to do that, drain, then toss over low to medium heat in a skillet with olive oil, bacon pieces and sauteed garlic with one beaten egg. Toss until the egg is almost, but not "dried" to the noodles. Slide onto plate and sprinke liberally with grated parmesan cheese, and serve. Salt and pepper to taste. Of course, if you want to go uptown with this, use spaghetti rather than Ramen, and pancetta in the place of bacon. Ensure you add a liberal amount of salt to boiling water, then cook for exactly 10 minutes... do not over cook the spaghetti! This, for Spaghetti ala Carbonara Napolitano style... Molto! Molto!

that sounds really good. But when I was making my "entree", I was a college student with cooking skills that included grilled cheese, cheeseburgers, canned soup, and calling for a pizza delivery[:)]0 -
I have not eaten any since my College days.... 0 -
Mix in some spaghetti sauce and yum.
Who says I can't cook!0 -
