Ramen
Created | Updated Oct 20, 2010
Ah, what lovely stuff ramen is...simple noodles in simple broth...and dirt cheap. You can buy 6 packs for a buck, and maybe more if you shop around. If you're strapped for cash, ramen is the way to go.
It comes sold in foam cups or plastic packages. The packages are generally cheaper, and they're sort of rectangular shaped, with all the noodles squooshed together. It might not look particularly appetizing. But just add hot water, the little pouch of flavoring (which can be anything from chicken to mushroom to BBQ...), and voila! Instant meal.
I've two warnings to give about ramen. One, unless you like REALLY long slurpy noodles, break it up before adding water. Two, often the flavorings contain MSG, which is bad.
