You boil them in water first idiot.

I don't usually buy Top Ramen, maruchan instead. Adding like 0.5 to 1 teaspoon of miso paste and some siracha goes a long way for flavour imo. For toppings, a soft boiled egg, green onion, meat of choice/tofu, enoki mushroom or kikurage mushroom, almost any mushroom really. Other veggies like cooked spinach works too.

Ok I'm back. Get these nest noodles. There like $1+ and you get 6 servings. They cook in the same amount of time as ramen bricks and are similar texture and starchy. How ever one severing size, 2 nests, is around 200cal. They also dont have a bunch of fat in it or shitty preservatives like BHT. They are uasally in the Spanish section of Walmart.

For broth get Better than Bullion. They have a fair amount of flavors, but its hard to beat beef and chicken. Get the low sodium ones; don't worry its still plenty salty, just better flavor. I uasally add just a spoons tip worth. You can also add stuff like soy sauce or fish sauce for flavor. A smidge of apple cider vinegar or lime is also good.

As far as seasoning goes, go wild. I recommend Badia for cheap, but good spice. Fuck McCormick, over priced trash. Get some for mexican like chipotle, cumin, and chile. Basic herbs like sage, thyme and rosemary for continental. That based jamaican curry powder they have. Ginger powder, soysauce, fresh chopped onion, and big thing of pre minced garlic for Asian. Hell garlic works with lots of shit. Feel free to experiment. Oh yeah grab tumeric.

For veggies I like having self chopped self frozen bell peppers or the japanese publix blend. I add a quarter of fresh chopped sweet onion and preminced garlic. Any cheap veggie mix you want is good.

Follow basically the same procedure as you would for ramen. Get a pot of water, and add your spice, broth, and veggies. Bring to boil. Let lightly simmer for a couple minuets, then scope out most of the veggies. Add noodles. When they are two thirds done, crack and egg or two. Dump in bowl when eggs are soft poached. You can add stuff like olive oil or sesame oil if wanted. If you wanted to get fancy you could pre saute onions, garlic or more in the bottom of the pot and drain into bowl for aromatics.

There, now you can eat something like ramen, minus the cancer everyday.

This works for pre made rice you froze before hand btw.

Maruchan is better than top ramen because they still use MsG in their flavor packets. Add the packet to the water and boil it and then cook the noodles in the broth. After one minute, crack an egg into the soup. Cook another two minutes, remove from heat, and add a squirt of like juice and your favorite hot sauce.

>i keep the packets for later
I usually use like half of the flavor packets cause I don't need 700% of my weekly sodium intake in one bowl of noodles and its still tastes just fine with half of the seasoning.

Sometimes I crack a fresh egg into the soup.
Other times I add a small amount of japanse sesame oil and red pepper flake to the broth, and some extra chicken stock for the greatest soup ever.
Sometimes I dump the soup and fry the noodles with some kind of meat or veggies, they get nice and crunchy and I will add butter

>>14829895
>the greatest soup ever.

Stop. Just stop with the bullshit hyperbole. the greatest soup ever has never come out of a fucking foil packet, and it never shall. Add what you like, and it'll still be packet broth.

>>14828836
water and the flavor packet.

its posts like this that make me wanna vote biden, trump had great memes but can you imagine if bi-boy biden got in?

>>14830301
no

>>14828836
a tbsp. or two of soy sauce to the water BEFORE cooking
chopped scalions after cooking, maybe a hard boiled egg sliced up
generally adding cheap vegetables to it
using MSG and good bullion or meat stock instead of the included powder packet
A couple drops of sesame oil
any of these improves the dish

every fucking thread is about poverty stricken ameripoors

Why not just buy actual noodles for the same, if not less, price
