Yes, it does depend... on whether the veggies are fresh, or like you
say frozen, and which type... and then if meats will be added, whether
precooked or raw, whether land animal or seafood. When adding to
ramen, as you say, timing is critical, just as critical as with
oriental stir fried dishes, or any other type of cooking... ramen
noodles cook quickly, the window of opportunity is small... ingredients
need to be readied in advance, added in the correct sequence and
properly prepared so they all finish cooking simultaneously. And often
thickeners are used (from other threads folks seem to find that alone a
monumental challenge.

Adding to ramen, as rfc's non cooks seem to think, is definitely not
the same as their taking a DUMP. Adding to ramen is an excellent means
for developing and honing a wide range of cooking skills, especially
challanges creativity.

Hair trigger frustration emerging for not knowing to respond with
legitimate cooking advice but having a deep seated psychosis impelling
to respond to everything regardless.

Sheldon (amazed at how those who actually ask real cooking questions
get summarily berated, while those pinheads who all they wanna do is
repetitively regurgitate the intimate vomit of their lame personal
lives are applauded... guess there are far more lamers... I mean like
who cares if someone got canned from their job for the tenth time in as
many months or has gone through a dozen affairs and still can't find
satisfying anal sex)
