Not sure how I missed this thread before. This is my favorite Ramen recipe.

1) open package and remove noodles
2) throw away the noodles
3) eat the package

When I was married and could barely keep the roof over our heads we had Ramen a lot and I don't really care to have it ever again. Although in a SHTF situation I would have no problem with it...
 
I like Ramen noodles, eat them for snacks not meals. I like salty stuff and it doesn't seem to bother my body any

Ways to make it better: I add some hot sauce and a tbsp of peanut butter

Ramen salad: add chopped cabbage, green pepper, jalopeno, shredded carrot ( raw stuff) and keep the noodles raw
salad dressing: mayo, siracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, a little sesame oil, pepper, ginger
Let it sit in fridge overnight
 
I like to keep it simple.

1 package Chicken flavored Ramen Noodles
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can Chicken

I will add some water to the Ramen noodles and microwave for two minutes, Add the Cream of Chicken soup and the chicken and microwave for two more minutes. Stir and eat. Fast and easy are very important to me, especially when I am hungry.

This has always been one of the things about the Ramen packets, you can be eating in about 5 minutes. But, you can take a little more time and add other things and ratchet them up, if you want to. In the recent video I put up by Marion, she cooks her ribs for 4 hours, after marinating them, preferably overnight. That is gourmet, versus fast food. I do like the idea of a hard boiled egg on the top for protein. And I do like the idea of a way to get some veggies in, even if it were a few frozen peas, a little chopped celery, onion or peppers. Those things could be getting prepped while the noodles are cooking. I do like to boil up a dozen eggs and keep them in the fridge for various things, including a snack.

Good idea! Carrots and celery would work. Chop them up while the Jeopardy music is playing.

I have thought about this but have never tried it. I think we had a thread on here about budget stretching recipes. Take on can of beef stew. Add a package of beef flavored Ramen Noodles. Add a can of corn and a can of carrots. O.K. Weedy, you can add peas, but for me peas won't even stay down. Now you have a meal for 4-6 pretty cheap.

Are you allergic to peas, or just have an aversion to them? I have a very picky nephew whose food repertoire is very limited. He's 40 + now and a few years ago he posted on Facebook about why would anyone put peas in beef stew? This is the guy whose diet was mostly peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for many years. I wonder if he would eat Ramen noodles?

Your nephew would be a kindred spirit. I share his aversion to peas. My son grew up the same way. If it wasn't for peanut butter and Cheerios he never would have survived.

As far as peas go, I have said this a million times, and to my wife ad nauseum: " I didn't eat them for my Mother, and I'm not eating them for you."

I always wonder about food aversions. My daughter never wanted pizza or sandwiches, ever. It took too long for her to be diagnosed with celiac. Of course she never wanted to eat foods that made her sick. Who would?

A very interesting story from a gal I worked with many years ago. After going to an allergy specialist they found their son had significant food allergies. One was to broccoli. If memory serves the boy was maybe 8-10 years old at the time. They asked him "Why didn't you tell us broccoli made your throat close up, and it was hard to breathe?" He said, "I thought that was how it tasted to everybody. I didn't know anything was wrong."

You don't know, if you don't know what the norm is. I never would have imagined that one of mine had celiac. Everyone that I had known previously with celiac was Jewish. I had thought that is was something that would have been more with Jewish people.
 
Here is one that looks interesting.

 
The video won't work so from memory
Dice
1 onion
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 tomato

Add 100 mls. water and simmer in oil on medium heat, stir occasionally

Add two eggs beaten
Add 1 package Ramen Noodles
Stir
Add shredded cheese.
Let simmer on low heat until cheese melts.

Salt and Pepper to taste.
 
Its hard to beat a can of Wolf Chili over beef ramen with cheddar cheese.

Try this:
2 packs of ramen, boiled with no seasoning.
1/3 a can of cream.
a tablespoon of vanilla extract.
A tablespoon of cane sugar.
Mix well, serve cold.

I can see the chili thing. I do the same with chili over a bed of macaroni and cheese for my daughter. No reason why it wouldn't work for ramen.

Sounds like dessert.
 
I have a friend who was in prison due to addiction. This is a woman who made more than 5,000 masks during COVID, giving away many to medical personnel. She has shared how they made ramen noodles when she was in prison. I don't remember the entire recipe, but I do remember the ramen and Doritos, together.

I like peas , even canned ones, but I have food dislikes also. I won't eat mushrooms or shrimp. Just disgusting!

My first job I worked at the County across the street from a prison. Many people in my office would go to the prison to eat lunch, $1 ( in the early 90s) and it was good. Definitely not just Ramen

+ Ramen (sans 'flavor packet', that'd be Nuke flavor-overkill) = YUM. 👍

..and PS, Knorr's 'Veg Soup Mix' Also makes for The Best (imo) 'veggie dip', when simply tossed / mixed-in w/ Sour Cream.. :cool:

Mixes like that can be good tasting, and I have used plenty of them in my life, but the ingredients! MSG is so common in mixes. It gives me migraines, and once I figured out about my migraines when I was around 35, it helped hugely, but not 100%. Some of them have gluten in them, like msg, in a different name that you have to keep up on to know.

Yeah, I hear ya.. Actually, for 'LTS' of the-same (besides 'DIY'..) we stock a lot of this as a "Better" option than a Ton of the Knorr-stuff: https://www.harmonyhousefoods.com/Dried-Vegetable-Soup-Mix-12-oz_p_1867.html ..it's Tops 👍 ..but, the Knorr is in the category of 'Quick n Yummy + Ramen', that's all I was really puttin' out.. :)

I have a potato soup recipe that is made with Mrs. Grass vegetable soup mix. It is so good. It is probably comparable to the Knorr mix. I would use the Knorr mix if I were to make it again. I shared the recipe with a friend and she said she gained so much weight with that soup. Yes, it is yummy!

4 cups peeled & cubed potatoes
1 cup diced celery
1 quart chicken broth
1 cup water
1 package Home Style Vegetable Soup (Mrs. Grass) (check out the sodium in this!)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 to 3 cups milk
8 ounces Velveeta cheese or grated cheddar cheese

In a kettle, combine the vegetables and broth. Cook to boiling, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

In a separate pan, melt the butter. Blend the flour, some salt and pepper and milk. Cook until it thickens, stirring constantly. Add this to the potato mixture. Heat to a slight boil.

When serving, garnish with cheese and parsley.

Optional--add brocolli and shredded carrots to the vegetables.
 
Here we go, fresh from the Thai joint at the strip mall!

In two cups of boiling water add:
1 tablespoon of butter.
1/4 cup of cream
1 package of peanuts or cashews
1 1oz can of cocktail shrimp.
1 tablespoon OR LESS crushed red pepper
a tiny pinch of basil.
add your noodles, let simmer 1 minute, remove from heat. let sit 5 minutes, add the flavor pouch, stir and serve.

I do like shrimp, but I will stand with you shoulder to shoulder on the mushrooms. I agree they are disgusting.
 
 
I had never heard of
Ramen until Y2K. I count myself fortunate.
