I only buy them cause they are so very inexpensive (20 for $1.00 iirc) and the "elderly relative" likes them, they are quick and convenient for her. -- JL |

The noodles are probably better as an ingredient than the flavor packet is. Get some good quality stock and make whatever... >I only buy them cause they are so very inexpensive (20 for $1.00 iirc) >and the "elderly relative" likes them, they are quick and convenient for >her. Yeah. Sure. It's all her fault. Uh-huh. --Blair |

Ramen won't disintegrate if it's over cooked by 30 seconds. What do you plan to add to the soup? -- See return address to reply by email |

Save the lettuce for your salad. Ramen is best for > using up leftover vegetables and meat. I dunno. I like a little shredded lettuce in wonton soup (learned that from an outfit here in Ann Arbor called Gourmet Garden). I imagine it would be good in ramen, too. Although it would be easy to overdo it. Cindy Hamilton |

You made cup o soup. Just tried my first home grown Malabar Spinach of the season in Ramen. Leaves were OK but the stems were really stringy. Next time I'm going to see if the rabbits will eat the stems. Malabar Spinach is so easy to grow. If you don't eat them they are just like weeds. They reseed themselves and will vine and shade everything. Lucky they don't have thousands of sprouts like Morning Glory weed. |

Dump the square noodle-clump into boiling water, and immediately set the timer for 3 minutes. You can wiggle a fork or chopsticks through the clump to separate the noodles while they're cooking, but even if you don't do this they turn out fine. Turn off the heat when the timer goes off. The water does not have to be at a rolling boil for the whole three minutes, so the noodles should be properly cooked if you turn off the heat 3 minutes after dumping them in the water. Here is my favorite way to jazz up a packet of ramen noodles: After the water is turned off, crush a clove of garlic through a garlic press directly into the soup, and stir -- the heat of the soup will cook the "paste" just well enough that it is not overpowering but adds nice flavor (if you aren't a garlic snob like me, garlic powder would probably work fine!). Then add the soup packet (if you're not afraid of msg), and a dash of soy sauce if you like things super salty. Some chopped green onion adds some nice flavor and color to an otherwise fairly-colorless dish. Serve and enjoy! Some other options: A few strips of shaved carrot (I just peel it directly off the carrot and into the soup, you could probably use a grater too), added about 30 seconds before the heat is turned off also adds color, as will a few coarsely chopped fresh spinach leaves. Sometimes I throw in a small handful of mesclun leaves, with the thicker stem portions removed -- this is a good way to use up leftover mesclun when it gets slightly too wilted for a salad. I am sure there are a lot of other veggies that could be added at this point, as long as they are quick- cooking or thinly sliced. Suggestions, anyone? Another poster suggested adding an egg during the last minute of cooking, to poach. I have done this, but sometimes I like to add one or two scrambled eggs right after the heat goes off, stirring so it coagulates quickly and thickens the broth. When I am in a rare healthy mood, I add a handful of cubed tofu instead of eggs, but I add the cubes to the soup during the last 30 seconds before I turn off the heat. Here's a final suggestion, which I used to do back in college, when I had to make and eat my meals quickly: After you have prepared your soup (with or without garlic, egg, spices, whatever), throw in 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of frozen peas, straight from the freezer. If you use a lot of peas, you might have to turn the heat on for another minute or so to make sure they cook enough. The heat from the soup thaws/cooks the peas, and the ice from the peas cools the soup and stops the noodles from overcooking too much. You also don't have to wait for the ramen to cool before you dig in, since the peas do it rapidly. If you have 10 minutes to cook and eat a meal before rushing off to class, this is a pretty good method. Enjoy your ramen! Cheers, Adilah |

Someone did post recently that noodles weren't good for stir-fry. Well, I wouldn't personally stir-fry with noodles IN the wok, but I've made stir-fry *plated* with ramen, pad thai, bean threads, chinese noodles, etc. The key is to stir-fry your meal and add it to the freshly cooked noodles. Add any additional sauce flavorings you want and munch away. kili |

At my >alitude it takes longer than three minutes. As a starving student, I used to eat ramen 5-10 times a week (Ben & Jerry's 1-3 times). There's a magic spot between opaque and soft that I could time without looking. --Blair |
