Bachelor Tip -

When cooking Ramen Noodles, add about a half a fine diced onion, a couple shots of Kikkoman soy sauce, and about a Tablespoon full of House of Tsang Szechuan Spicy Sauce.

The Bomb.

Carry on.

I don't know why I read this post Ken.  Haven't been a bachelor since 2 days after my 18th birthday.  
I just thought you might have said something that I missed in all this time!o:)

He did, unless you've actually had Ramen noodles with these additives.

Why would anybody be cooking that crap?? You can buy Kraft box of spaghetti for $1.00 and just add a can of tomato paste and that's pretty good. And Kraft mac and cheese is also $1.00. I like to add a can of peas and man that's good. I haven't eaten either of those for years but I much prefer them to Ramen.

Ramen too salty for me

 Ramen was the only thing that made the original MREs edible, especially the dehydrated beef or pork patty.

Save the ramen for the college kids.

Ramen noodles, the rice cake of pasta.

Reminds of a song I last heard probably 50 years ago:

'If you pour whiskey on it, he'd eat a bale of hay.'

 Mac and cheese is one of my favorites.
 Two boxes mac and cheese, three cans tuna, two cans each sliced carrots and sweet peas and a pouch of velveta cheese sauce.

Speaking of, anyone see if Yosh made it back on?

I get cravings for them sometimes.....its a quick, easy thing to fix and costs almost NOTHING.    They are really bad for you though.     When I was in my 20's a friend of mine was trying to lose weight and decided that two of their meals a day would be Ramen.    I pointed out they needed to read the label and they were shocked.     If you ate them regularly I'm pretty sure you'd die prematurely and they wouldn't have to embalm you because the mummification process would already be started.

oddly this might be the most useful thread since the new forum release.

Green onion but I suppose in a pinch sliced white and maybe yellow but never red. Adding extra soy sauce is much. When I made Top Ramen I use two packs (yup I'm a big boy). Still got PTSD from eating top ramen while saving the cash to buy my "White Feather" I haven't made any Top Ramen. For "spice" black pepper but these days most folks goes for the red stuff with the green top. I suppose some may go with that La-Yu red pepper oil (not my thing). Now Sesame Oil is nice.

Drop a raw egg and let it poach the last few moments before eating out of the pot is the "cheap" bomb eats. If you have a few frozen shrimps they really fancy up the Top Ramen. Also pretty much any left over meat thrown in makes a meal.

Why would anybody be cooking that crap? It's typically .25 cents a pack. Also some folks are lactose intolerant and if I recall milk ain't cheap. 

I remember those dehydrated beef or pork patties. Dehydrated meat in between crackers mouthful of flavorful sawdust. They were fun late '80s addition to those dehydrated fruit cocktails.

Comparing Ramen to "Top Ramen" is like comparing Ochoa Brothers cocaine to Compton Street Crack.

My Man.

I don't eat them very frequently, maybe once or twice in a month. Good for a quick hot snack. I do like to add veggies. Thin sliced cabbage is good. I will have to try the Bok Choy. Used to buy it quite often up N. Not sure you can even find it in my little Podunk town. Will also have to remember throwing a few cocktail shrimp in with em.'

I have (a'hem) quite a few packs in my SHTF food stash. I grab one every now and then.

I agree with most of what FCD said. The instant "ramen" cups and bowls you can buy for pennies are worthless crap. But you can buy soft ramen noodles in the refrigerated section that are quite good. They do NOT come with those horrible "seasoning packets" so you must add your own stuff. Use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth - or fish if you choose. Add veggies, a bit of star anise, onion, cabbage or bok choi, bamboo shoots, water chestnut, cilantro if you like it, and top with a sliced boiled egg. Add a good splash of fish sauce. What you get is close to Vietnamese pho and it will make you a believer.

Sounds good. (But) You have obviously never shopped in Mtn. City, TN.
