When I was in high school, my best friend’s mother used to crumple them up, and lightly fry them for a few seconds. They made really, really good croutons.
(But be careful to only do it for a couple of seconds-they burn FAST)
This made me giggle. Frozen peas are = hazardous waste, but you’re eating ramen?
'Scuse me, I’m sick. Pardon me, coming through…
You can make quick chili mac with some canned or leftover chilli and ramen noodles. Save the seasoning packet for another day.
You are evil. :eek: 
My mom makes a great salad out of ramen: toss the seasoning packet and crush up the dry ramen. Mix it with some shredded cabbage, bean sprouts (both raw), and rice wine vinegar and oil (maybe sesame? I’m not sure) to taste as a dressing. There might be some other components, but I can’t recall. This salad is really yummy.
Oh, sure. Laugh at the pea-ness joke but totally ignore my ‘eat every noodle and pea in your bowl’ line. Harumph!
So does anyone else read the title and add ‘When You’re Dead’?
Buy the Korean kind (largest consumers of instant ramen in the world, and the best quality of instant I’ve had), add eggs and season yourself with whatever you like, add chili oil
Like Lama Pacos’ salad: shredded cabbage, chopped cooked chicken, dry -fresh- ramen (so its crispier) with a vinegar/sugar dressing. Maybe a dash of soy.
I’d usually cook it but then pour out almost all of the water before adding the flavor. Sometimes I’d add cheese chunks as well.
Working at the grocery store, I’d have a Cup O’ Noodles for lunch. Using a fresh roll from the bakery to soak up the soup part was delicious.
Some of these ideas sound pretty good. Now I can use up that last little bit of sauce in the bottle in my fridge.
Would that be Shin Ramyun? That’s the brand I like. Only I can’t seem to find it up here.
I would think that Shin meat would be a little stringy, even for Ramen. Possibly some shredded calf or smoked thigh sliced paper thin.
I have a friend who’s boyfriend is in jail. She said that prisoners usually don’t get enough to eat so they invent dishes that are filling. One such item is a sandwich called the one-on:
Cook ramen with half as much water and for twice as long as indicated on package. Noodles should soak up all the water. Add to bowl with one can of tuna and add mayonnaise and seasoning packet. Serve between two slices of wonder bread.
I’ve never tried it.
I usually make a can of cheapo cream o’ chicken soup, pour it over two brick of ramen, and let that “cook” the ramen. Cream of chicken soup alone, and ramen alone always feel like they need something else, which is fixed pretty well by putting them together. Plus it remains pretty cheap.
Add Tabasco sauce
A few years back I was delighted to discover that a block of ramen noodles, removed from the package and teed up horizontally, explode in a spectacular, soul-fulfilling display when struck with a 5-iron. YMMV, particularly in direct relation to your abilitiy to effectively swing a golf club while inebriated.
Well, no one’s mentioned cilantro yet so here’s how I do it:
Buy a big fresh bunch of cilantro, chop it finely, and freeze it in a bag so you’ve always got some.
Cook your noodles (does it really matter what flavor? No.) with some dry, crunched up hot chili, take it off the heat when almost done then add some lime juice and some chopped cilantro. Quick & dirty Thai hot sour soup. If you want to get extravagant, by all means add a few drops of sesame oil, ginger, lemon grass, mint, maybe a little soy sauce (like it needs more salt) shrimp, scallops, octopus, squid, etc. Add that last stuff according to how long you think it should cook, but none of it should take long.
Crush up the ramen in a closed packet open and add the seasoning. Very good but a word of warning if you do this too much the ramen will expand in you bowls and you will be very constipated.
Boil chopped up hotdogs once the hot dogs are done add the ramen and cook normally cheep and filling.
I’ll also throw out a ditto for ramen and cheese.
There’s also Samyang Ramyun and Jin Ramyun. Shin Ramyun is too spicy for me.
