What's the best way to cook these?

Throw out the broth with 1/8 of the seasoning mixed with the noodles. 1/2 tbsp of butter mixed with garlic powder, red & black pepper. Been doing it now for 23 years.

Any better alternatives to this?

I have had the idea for a while and will have time to experiment this weekend but need some advice as I am not well versed in the culinary arts.
I wish to blend raman noodles (or instant noodles for the rest of the world) into a fine powder and make a sort of "cake" or "wafer" out of it.
To explain so my goal is understood is:
1: compact the noodles into a solid mass
2: not "cook" the noodles in the process
3: still maintain it's shelf life

Basically I want to blend up a package of ramen into a powder, reducing the size, form it into a block, and when cooked from said block make a sort of porridge I suppose. (I'm thinking of a minimal space robbing meal to bring for multi day hiking trips)
I foresee even after the raman is ground up, even if I added water and let evaporation do it's deal I would still have expansion and still have to dehydrate it for be stored. I do realise just a bag of the ground ramen without any else done would serve its purpose but I'm wondering if there is not some binding agent that would not affect taste (or could enhance) but at the same time not hydrate the ramen so it expands and still be able to be preserved for a period of time?
Any help?
