Cook Ramen Noodles

Ever want a home-made meal, but didn't want the burden and hassle of going all out on a Casserole, or something a bit complicated? Ramen noodles is a tasty dish that'll leave you warm on a winter night, or a fun dish to eat with a friend.

Steps

  1. Find a pot that is the right size for the portioning. Fill that pot with 2 cups of regular drinking water from your sink or wherever you get your water; that will be the broth.
  2. Take out the brick of Ramen, and fish out the packet of flavoring from the bag.
  3. Put the pot of water on the stove, and set the heat to high/medium/low depending on the power of your stove.
  4. Take the flavor packet(s) from the Ramen bag, and empty them into the pot while the water is just starting to heat up.
  5. As the water starts to boil or is warm, add the noodles. (A way of figuring this out is, put your hand over the pot and see if you can feel the steam/heat.)
  6. If you'd like to spice things up a bit, to make the Ramen seem more like a meal, add chile flakes, spices... whatever you'd like!. Some people like to add bean sprouts, dried baby shrimp, Asian beef meatballs, and baby clams. Top it off with some cilantro! Try that if you'd like! Mmm.
  7. Set a timer to 3 minutes, and within the 3 minutes, stir the noodles occasionally as they begin to break down. When the 3 minutes are up, turn the heat off. The noodles should be limp and firm, all separated. (If you like your Ramen in small, yummy clumps of noodles, cook for 2 minutes.)
  8. Add in 2 eggs, and push them to the bottom. They will cook as you eat your noodles, and will add a nice creamy flavor, if you want!
  9. Carefully take a soup spoon and fill your bowl with the Ramen. If you don't want any broth, or want to drink it as a beverage, take a holed soup spoon, which is made just for that!
  10. Enjoy your noodles! Ramen.

Tips

  • If you are having trouble finding items like Asian beef meatballs or pre-chopped lemon grass, go to a Vietnamese supermarket. They will both be in the freezer aisle.
  • Add anything that you think will taste good with the Ramen. Be adventurous, but just be sure to cook it thoroughly.
  • Chopped lemon grass is also tasty if added to the seafood.
  • For a seafood theme: add Squid, shrimp, crab, and salmon.
  • If you don't like the texture of Ramen, for a more thicker noodle, try Neoguri; They can be found mostly at Korean supermarkets.

Warnings

  • When adding the ingredients into the hot water, be careful to drop it slowly. This will stop the water from splashing on your hand.
  • When eating the noodles, slick pieces of noodle might slip out of your chopstick on drop onto the broth below. This might cause a splashing motion, so don't be hasty when grabbing the noodles; grab them slowly.
  • When transferring the pot to the table, use both hands, and be careful not to trip.
