Anybody have any Ramen Noodle advice?

My first husband first ate Ramen noodles in Japan. He said they served them with thin sliced meat and eggs and scallions. So that would be my first suggestion. Get your broth boiling and drop a couple of eggs into it and do what is called basting, that is, splashing the hot broth over the egg to cook it on top. I also put frozen veggies in it, and chunks of any left over meat. My daughter will put a slice or two of cheese and some peas in hers. Good luck.

the ramens we have here are cooked the way we cook noodles. if you are interested there are many recipes online, some of them have affordable ingredients. In my case I used to cook it, then fry it and add shrimp or ground beef with seasoning. Or I will add fried eggs and fried tofu instead, on top of fried noodles. Both eggs and tofu contain high proteins and noodles with carb. sorry to hear your situation. I was there too and now things are better. if you are dilligent with your savings, you will come up a winner later on.

..all I know is spaghetti sauce on them.. or butter and mixed vegetables... or cut up carrots cooked with them.. carrots are very thrifty.. Or of course as a soup.. you could make a gravy with a little meat or onions for topping them with.. One time I practically lived on ramen noodles, potatoes, carrots, onions and microwave popcorn.. When you're really, really broke.. top them with a packet of ketchup and garlic powder.. :)

Here is a site that is for those who are frugal: http://www.geocities.com/joydoctor2001/Ramen.html One word of caution...those ramen soups are loaded with salt. Try to get the pack that has the seasoning in a little foil packet and get rid of that.

I like adding frozen mixed vegetables to them as well as some crab meat. That would be my favorite way that I have ate them before. I know it's not my favorite thing to eat, but have ate it lately due to limited budget for food.

I love ramen so I eat it all the time and one of my favorite recipes that has a lot of flavor is one I got from a Weight Watchers message board. I'm too lazy to type it out and don't have enough posts to paste it in here so I'll try to PM it to you thru MyLot. It has ribeye steak in it but I've made it with cheap cuts of beef or left over roast beef and it's pretty good that way too. Sometimes I even leave the beef out and add extra cabbage. I think it's delicious and my DH who doesn't like anything likes it too.

I use to "wing" dishes useing these handy little things buy tossing in a meat, a vegie and an oninion. However my fav is to cook and drain the noodles then mix the season on them. Pour that onto a plate and then top with mixed vegies (frozen bag kind) steamed with a dash or two of soy sauce. Quick, easy and cheap! :o)

Hubby likes his with onions in it and we both like it with chunks of ham and velveeta cheese. I love those things. Speaking of which I need to pick up some more. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Yes, I have not so good news about noodles and ramen, thay have linked it to cause cancer and can be very dangerous to ones health if eaten often. I love eating ramen and noodles but after I heard the bad news I have tried to get away from them and have changed my diet to fish and vegetables. Its takes ones creativity to eat cheap but healthy food. I can make a meal out of potatoes and eggs, and any vegetable with eggs. Or you can try several combinations to have a healthy meal. I have also erased canned goods from my kitchen coz I have also learned not so good things about it.

Hi AmbiePam, I wish I lived closer to you! I'd invite you over for meals! I'm not really a big fan of ramen noodles, but when I do eat them I have them with eggs. I fry up the eggs with the seasoning from the noodle package or I use tex mex. Sometimes Walmart will have really good deals on thins like noodles and mac & cheese.

Just add some veggies. Like frozen mixed vegetables. That way you will have a little more substancial meal.

i love those noodles but be very careful though because they have so much salt in them,one package contains 790mg of sodium which is extremly high,just eat half the package at a time.i like to season them with a little butter and some garlic.simple but tasty.

Hubby considers him self the "Ramen Gourmet" he puts it in a pan with a very small amount of water and when it's the right consistency adds soy sauce and crushed red pepper flakes.

You can try some of the following. Take it from a former college student. Don't get me wrong though, I know how to cook plenty, but Ramen is Ramen :D These are all separate entries by the way. Do not mix them all up unless that is what you want -Add an egg to it, either when its real hot and fresh, or a cooked scrambled egg -Add Cumin and Chili Powder -Add Basil, Parmesan and/or Ricotta, and cooked diced tomatoes -Add Sage, really works with the pork or chicken one -Add Rosemary, really works with beef (optional: Sage and Salt) -Add some lemon juice, garlic powder and salt -Add Red Pepper to add a different heat and kick -Add Sesame seed and/or Sesame Oil -Add Soy Sauce -Add some mustard or wasabe if available -Add a little ginger if available -Add Cinnamon and sugar for a slightly sweeter taste -Add a bit of curry powder for a kick if available -Add Mozzarella, Parmesean, Provolone, Cheddar Cheese as a topping -Add croûtons and let them soak in for a bit, or break up some toast -Add bacon to it -Add diced red and green peppers if available, let them cook with it

I like to add a package of those little noodles to a can of chicken noodle soup. Since the canned soups are lacking in noodles, the Ramen seem to make it better. I then use the seasoning packet that comes with it, and add that to mashed potatoes, rice, or a homemade soup that I'm making. Be careful with how much you add, though, because it can get very salty! :)

Depends if you are cooking just plain ramen noodles..are you? Or are you getting those cup of noodles kind of things? If you're just cooking up plain noodles, how about adding a boullion cube..either chicken or beef?? Then add some kind of veggies you like?? What happened? If you want to PM me let me know what's going on, okay?

top ramen noodles is hat i threw away sometime back.i ate some other cheaper stuff without fry and raw only.u need to break the noodle packet and just eat it.!terrible

i have tried different things in ramen noodles. i have stir fired them w/ some peanut sauce and a small chopped piece of chicken breats. i also have made them with brocolli and cheese. i think you do alot of stuff with them.

Try an egg and some spinach, and crushed garlic.
