This is the traditional and one of the best ways to cook Ramen Noodles. Heat the water until it boils then add the noodles and turn down the heat. I usually prefer to crush my noodles up so they can be eaten easier with a spoon. After the noodles have turned to desired wiggliness take off the stovetop. Add the packet of seasoning, stir, and enjoy!
Ok so you're in a hurry or are really hungry and you don't care as much about taste. Crush those noodles, dump them in your microwave-safe bowl and pour some water over them. Nuke the noodles until the water is nice and hot. If you want slightly less "cardboard"y noodles let them sit for a few minutes and then nuke them another 30 seconds to reheat them a bit. Take them out add the seasoning and umm.. *cough* enjoy.
The title of this recipe is a slighty confusing. You do shake the ramen noodles, but you don't really bake them. You get a zip-lock baggy and put the ramen noodles inside with the seasoning. You shake. You open. You eat. Simple? Yes. Good? To me they are when I'm hungry and lazy! (Like right now for instance.) Make sure to have a glass of water handy because you get mighty thirsty.
Now this is by far my favorite recipe for Ramen Noodles ever. Basically you follow the same steps of the Traditional Stovetop method. The only difference is that you add egg to it. Beat an egg in a bowl with a fork and get it all nice and mixed up and yellow. Then after you add the crushed noodles to the boiling water, slowly pour the egg into the soup. Make sure when you pour it you make a very thin stream of egg and stir the soup. You didn't know Ramen Noodles could taste that good did you?
This is another good recipe for when you want a bit of a change. Follow the Traditional Stovetop method but do these few things differently. Don't crush the noodles. After cooking drain out all of the water by holding a fork in front of the pot while you slowly tilt it careful not to spill the noodles. After draining the water dump the noodles into a bowl and sprinkle the seasoning ontop of the noodles. Mix the seasoning into the noodles by stirring it all up. This makes for an extremely salty meal so you may want to hold back on some of the seasoning but I love it all on there.
Okay so in the dorms, one no longer has access to a stovetop and usually only means of cooking Ramen Noodles is with a microwave. ...or is it? One very good technique for nicely cooked Ramen noodles in desperate situation is to use the trusty caffeine distributor known as the coffee pot. Heat the water in the coffee pot and then stick the noodles in and let them absorb the water. You will probably have to crush your noodles in order to fit them in there. This leads to a pretty un-cardboard-like noodle, which is a good thing. Its not as good as stovetop but its still tons better than microwave.
This is my latest recipe, and the one I cook all the time. Basically it is Ramen with veggies. What you do is by the stir fry frozen vegetables from Wal-Mart. These have a nice variety of good healthy veggies which you can add to your unhealthy ramens :). Add the veggies when you add the ramens, because they take awhile to warm up being frozen. I usually add egg as well. If I have any cooked meats in the fridge I also add those. With all of that the ramen noodles become spectacular spectacular. The only problem with this recipe is that you won't want to eat it any other way.
Screw what I said above. THIS is my latest recipe. Brought to you by the lovely girl that continually surprises and amazes me. She is the love of my life and came up with the wonderful recipe that follows. First, grab a piece of bacon (or two, depending on your love of the meat). Fry the bacon until it attracts the neighbors and is the perfect shade of crispy. Take the bacon off the heat and set aside for the moment. Next, prepare the noodles according to package directions. While the water begins to boil or the ramen is slowly turning into noodly wonderfulness, grab a bowl. In the bowl, you will mix together one egg, the packet of seasoning provided, and parmesan cheese (somewhere between 1/8 and 1/4 cup) - mix this together well. Finally, crumble your bacon into this mixture. By now, your ramen is probably done. In fact, you've probably forgotten it entirely and it is now turned to mush. If it's mush, start over with a new packet of noodles. If you've succeeded in preparing your sauce in time, remove the noodles from the heat. This next part is crucial: Drain the noodles completely, and immediately add the egg mixture. You might want to mix it again just before adding it to the noodles. The heat of the noodles will cook the egg and create a lovely, creamy sauce. Eat quickly and enjoy. Oh, and don't forget to send thanks to the creator at Jennifer.
This one is from Travis, an old highschool buddy!
"Checked out your website, wandered to the
Ramen Recipies, and I have one of my own that I'd like to offer. Cheesy Ramen. Simple stuff...
Cook the Ramen like you normally would, only once it's in the bowl, drop a slice of American Cheese
in and stir it until it's melted in. The heat from the freshly cooked noodles is plenty to melt the
cheese and it doesn't take long. One slice of cheese for one package of ramen, and your set. It's good
stuff, you should try it! Take care and don't eat the yellow snow.
