I recently picked up the econo-case of Nissin's Chicken flavored Top Ramen at Costco. I know that it isn't the best brand out there, but it's the most economical. I'm trying to stretch my dollars as much as possible right now, which is why I love Trap17.
I figured that there are probably a lot of you out there who've had to make a meal from a package of ramen, and I wondered how many different ways there are to make ramen since I have soooo much of it. I usually soak the noodles until they loosen up and separate, then I fry them up with a little sesame oil, soy sauce, and a little sprinkle from the flavor packet. If I have veggies or meat, I'll add that as well. It's especially good with green onions and minced garlic. Of course, I don't add flavoring if I'm using beef or shrimp instead of chicken. So how do you cook your Ramen? |

Wow, I've never thought about frying it up with other stuff... that's a really good idea and I'll have to try that out sometime.
I've never really been one to eat soup too much, so I typically just cook up the noodles, drain them and then sprinkle the flavor packet on top of them that way. Sorry that I can't be more creative for you lol... |

I once used to buy some chicken on a stick from a neighborning restaurant. I'd add the chicken to a spicy beef ramen noodle after its fully cooked. It tasted so good, yet the place that made the chicken closed down.

I make them as a soup, with the same amount of water as recommended on the package, but I chop up veggies, mushrooms, onions, etc and add that into the water while the noodles are cooking. Sometimes I add a beaten egg into the mix, too. It turns out like an Egg-drop soup, add a little soya sauce and it is pretty tasty and healthier then the salty package of flavouring the noodles come with.

Well at home I usually put them in the microwave then add about a quarter of a packet of seasoning and some alfredo sauce. I also like just putting grated cheese on them with melted butter, that makes my mouth water thinkin about it.
Here is what I do if there is no access to a microwave or any fire or metal pots typically in a situation where you are locked up(jail). Just pour water in the bag and leave them sit for about 20 minutes and then you got good soft noodles.Maybe even crush up some cheez its and cut up a beef stick with the right amount of water you got a good chee-chee that might taste better than home. |

Sometimes I make spaghetti like ramen noodles out of stuff I have at home that's left from each days usage. You can sort of make wonton if you have a tub of chicken soup in powder form. Roll meat balls in rice paper and voila. But of course there's more to that. lol. Frying it like your way makes it sound goood. I should try that one day.

eggs, pepper, chili, leftover veggies and meat -- added after cooking noodles for three whole minutes. bring everything to a brisk boil for another minute, then serve.
