My beloved and I still love something I did when I was broke as hell--adding a can of mushrooms (store-brand stems and pieces!) and *one* chopped green onion to mushroom-flavored ramen. I have even served it as a side dish for company!

I'm Asian and even I know that the "Engrish" way of spelling noodles is Ramen. Just some info for you, "ramen" is a rough way to spell the way we say "lao mien" which is Mandarin for boiled noodles (not necessarily boiled (there's a deeper meaning but I won't go into that), but it's a word representing how the noodles are made). "Lo mein" would be the Cantonese equivalent and "chow mein" or "chow mien" is a rough way of saying tzao mien/mein (Mando/Canto) which means fried noodles.

My dad uses water and sometimes chicken broth to make the soup and cooks meat first in a pan, then fries scallions and ginger in the pot for the noodles. Once the scallions and ginger start giving off a scent he adds the water/chicken broth inside the pot and then adds the meat and veggies, then salt (enough to bring out the flavor in the veggies) once the water/chicken broth starts to boil. When the ingredients look done, he washes the noodles (so they don't make foam) then adds them in the pot to cook.

I like to use misoshiru to make miso noodles. First you boil water, and wash the noodles (that pot is of water is going to become your soup). Then you obviously cook the noodles once the water boils. While the noodles are cooking, use about a tablespoon and a half to two tablespoons of misoshiru (this is for a medium sized pot). Add the miso and some water in a bowl and start mixing it until the misoshiru becomes smooth (so that it becomes easy to put in the pot). When the noodles are halfway cooked, add the misoshiru and grab about half a cup of dashi granules and half a cup of dried anchovies to add when the noodles are fully cooked.

If you'd like you can dampen dried kelp, chop them into your preferred size and drop them in the pot while the noodles are halfway cooked.

Don't be fooled by how people are saying to microwave them or to crush them up. Those are instant noodles, which in mandarin is called "pow mien". The "pow" word is to describe how all you do is add boiled water. The information I gave you is to make a noodle soup from scratch! (Except for actually making the noodles, that looks really hard because you need strength and muscles to actually make the noodles)

My favorite way is to drain the water out of the noodles, keep about a table spoon of the water with in, and then mix in the spice packet. I don't like the noodles when they are like a soup. Simple, and easy.

Over low heat cook them in a pot of cream of mushroom soup WITHOUT the flavor packet (follow the directions on the soup can),and then throw in some precooked cut-up chicken breast (still hot! fresh from the oven!).The noodles are gonna take longer to cook in the soup than they would if you just boiled them,so give'em a taste test every few minutes until they're done.
But if you're eating THAT much ramen that you need new recipes,then I suspect you're on a budget,and can't really afford expensive things like "soup" or "chicken".
Just kiddin' dude....
But for real....Campbells soups ain't that expensive,and chicken is just about the most affordable meat you can buy.If you're on a budget this'll be right up your alley!

Heat them in hot water over the stove until noodles are soft.
Pour noodles and some water into bowl and add packet of flavor.

I literally only let them boil for the 3 minutes. This allows the noodles to be alittle bit tender. Then I dump out some of the water. I add the flavor, stir, and eat it up. I like mine juicy!!!

Ramon has noodles?

I'll cook it the way the package says, drain almost all the water, add the seasoning packet, then put chicken, soy sauce and some scrambled egg in with it. Chicken fried ramen!!

Believe it or not, my old boss's daughter actually published a cookbook on Ramen noodles. Her name is Toni Patrick. You would be surprised at what you can add to Ramen Noodles. . .
