Most ramen noodles are loaded with crap. MSG.

[Red Badger]

Back when I was a young and poor family man, for lunch I’d take to work a pack of Ramen and a hot dog, cut up the hot dog in the noodles and cook til noodles were tender, al dente................

I see Ramen as a sort of Asian “Hamburger helper”.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

If you use the flavor packets, yes.

[Red Badger]

Yes, it’s quite useful as a budget stretcher......................

[Vaquero]

Don’t remember. It’s been 2 decades. Last time I had it I had Anaphylaxis and needed to use an epi pen.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yikes!

The problem with ramen is that your taste buds and tummy think you ate some food, but nutritionally you’re eating the equivalent of Styrofoam.

It has actually killed people due to malnutrition.

I would have never survived college on my non-existant budget without Top Ramen.

I would like to find some plain ramen noodle blocks. I don’t care for most of the flavors of the packaged ramen, but I would like to have the blocks of noodles to cook quickly and add some veggies and meat for a quick meal. I guess an Asian grocery might have them, but the one near my house closed.

Oh, I dunno. Ramen makes a fast late-night snack when its too late to call Chinese takeout.
Quick and filling w/ a few pantry staples added. And presto....an addictive must-have dish.

PEANUT RAMEN / one serving

ING pkg Ramen noodles w/ flavor packet, tbl soy sauce, 2 tbl chunky
(or smooth) peanut butter, 2 tsp Sriracha, thin-sliced scallions, lime wedge garnish.

METHOD Boil ramen w/ flavor packet; drain off most (not all the liquid).
Toss w/ soy sauce, p/butter, Sriracha. Garnish with scallions.

Eat immediately w/ squeeze of lime.

"heck Clark, I don't know why they call it 'hamburger helper', I like it all by itself"

I survived college with a box of Cheerios, A jar of peanut butter, And a bunch of bananas each week.
Alternating with a taco pizza from a local pizza place that was so huge one slice a day was a meal.

I make four ramen packets (throwing away the flavor pack), with 3-4 fillets of fried salmon. Toss in some oyster sauce, and it’s quite tasty.

After the noodles are cooked, I throw them into the skillet with the salmon and give it all a good stir.

I’d supplement with oatmeal and an occasional egg.

MSG is good

[mylife]

Really quite good, I used to buy it by the case for the pantry..

My take on college lunch was day old A&P French bread with pot cheese.

Just don’t use the “flavor” pack. It is mostly bouillon soup powder anyway. We add a can of Margaret Holmes Tomatoes, Okra and Corn soup, a diced chicken breast, some broth, and seasoning. Serve over hot rice. Makes a decent meal in the time it takes to boil water.
