I just realized how much I absolutely love Ramen noodles. But I only like them with about half of the seasoning that I am given. I don't want to throw the extra seasoning out. Is the extra seasoning good for anything other than making soup?
Please, keep the answers to simple recipes. I am in a college dorm, and although I have a full kitchen in the common room, I don't have time for anything much more difficult than spaghetti.

Save those packets to use in future sauces or even to make broth to sip while you're studying for finals! They contain a great deal of sodium, so a little goes a long way! You can use them in mashed potatoes, meatloaf, sprinkled on chicken, on steamed veges etc.

You could mix a packet with 1/3 cup of olive oil. Stir in 3 to 4 potatoes cut into chunks. Put the potatoes in an oven safe pan and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. You can study while they're cooking.

Use it as a dry rub for chicken breasts. Put the extra seasoning into a plastic baggy with a chicken breast and shake till coated then take it out of the plastic bag and bake in a 350F oven for 20 minutes.

All Ramen seasoning packets are is a little chicken or beef boulion with added salt and maybe a few dehydrated seasonings.

It is very salty. You could use it in place of salt to give a little extra flavor. Maybe you could sprinkle some on rice or potatoes or meats. Don't use too much as it is bad for your health.

My ex used to use Ramen to make "hippie-chips" He would crush up the pack of noodles and then pour the powder over the dry noodles. Then he's just snack on them like that straight out of the pack uncooked. He was an odd fellow. o_O They weren't THAT bad though.

I'm not sure how this will taste but when I have extra spices left over from cooking I like to sprinkle them on a baked potato.

Can't you just buy plain noodles and use the extra seasoning on them?

You could season rice or pasta with it. But I just throw it out. Too much sodium.
