Title:	Super Veggie Ramen
Date:	03/09/01
Submitted By:	Bond
Submitted From:	Southwest Texas State
Ingredients:	Nissin Top Ramen Chili flavor
	1/2 tbsp oil or enough to cover pan
	1/2 carrot cut into strips
	5 2inch strips red bell pepper
	1 thick slice red onion, chopped
	2-3 little mushrooms, sliced
	1 tbsp peas (I use frozen)
	1 tbsp corn (frozen)
	1/4 clove garlic minced super fine
Recipe Text:	Cook Ramen according to directions, but only add 1/2 of the flavor packet. If you are using egg, add to water when you add noodles. Heat oil in wok or skillet over medium heat. Add all vegetables and garlic (add peas and corn still frozen). Stir constantly and lower heat if you notice any searing or if you like softer veggies. My vegetables are usely done in 2 1/2 - 3 minutes, but I like them a bit crisp. Drain liquid off noodles and add vegetables and extra chili pepper if its not spicy enough. (makes 1 serving)
Note:	I use Nissin Ramen because its the cheapest at my grocery, but any other brand of chili or hot and spicy flavor ramen will work. I only use a 1/2 packet because I try to keep my sodium intake down. If you use the whole packet you shouldn't need to add any extra chili peper. I add egg sometimes because it adds protein and it gives it a richer taste. You can substitute other veggies, but if you use softer ones like mushrooms or squash add them after the other veggies have cooked a minute or so.

Title:	Oriental Ramen stir-fry
Date:	03/03/01
Submitted By:	Alex
Submitted From:	Virginia
Ingredients:	4-6 slices bacon
	Onion, cut up (a small-medium sized handful)
	Carrots, cut up (a large handful)
	Other veggies: peas, celery, whatever you like.
	1 pack Ramen noodles. (oriental flavor)
	1 egg
	soy sauce
Recipe Text:	Cut the bacon into small pieces (1" strips works good) In a skillet, start cooking the bacon as normal (on medium heat). Cut up your onion, carrots, and other veggies. In a seperate pan, cook the noodles as normal, while waiting for the bacon to cook. It works best if you break up the noodles before cooking, but you don't have to. When the bacon's nearly finished, add the vegetables and stir quickly. Let cook a couple more minutes, stirring frequently, Then drain the almost all of the bacon grease. Drop an egg into the skillet, and stir it into the bacon/veggie mixture. Add the flavor packet to the noodles, stir, then drain most of the water. Leave just a little bit of water. Add the noodles to the bacon/veggie mixture. Stir. Lower heat to Low, Cook for a couple more minutes, stirring frequently. Add some soy sauce and salt & pepper to taste. Serve. Makes 2 servings, or 1 if you're really hungry.
Note:	I've only tried this with the oriental flavor, but I am guessing Beef or Pork might be pretty good too.

Title:	Spinach Tuna Ramen
Date:	11/25/00
Submitted By:	Cezanne
Submitted From:	Dixie State College-Southern Utah
Ingredients:	2 Packs Ramen with seasoning
	Frozen spinach
	Smashed Garlic cloves (about 5) (or you can use dried minced garlic)
	a few shakes of dried onion flakes
	1 Can tuna
	Balsamic Vinegar or flavord
	Olive Oil
	Or you can use Italian Dressing I suppose
Recipe Text:	Put some water in a pan. I never measure, but you don't want as much as the package calls for, probably around 3 cups I guess. Put the pan on te stove at about medium to medium-high and add the noodles, spinach (and any other veggies you want) the garlic, onions and the flavor packets right then (you want to boil the noodles with the flavor stuff so they soak more of it in. When the noodles are the desired mushiness and the veggies are all cooked how you want them, add the tuna and cook for just a tiny bit longer. Drain it all as well as you can. If you use one of the wire mesh type strainers you can get it pretty well drained. Put it all in a big bowl and pour the vinegar and oil or italian dressing over it, park yourself in front of the tv or the puter and have at! Feeds anywhere from one to probably about 5 people, depending on how hungry they are.
Note:	I've found that chicken type ramens work best. I usually use chicken with vegetables and/or chicken with mushroom. Don't use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, but just about any other kind will work. I usually use Balsamic vinegar and Red wine vinegar with garlic.

We always eat them with all the water drained off, but a little broth is nice sometimes. Hopefully anyone cooking this knows when to put the veggies in. Slice a hard boiled egg on top if desired - mine loves them.

Title:	Sesame Grilled Ramen
Date:	09/20/1999
Submitted By:	Terri Armour
Submitted From:	Tacoma, WA
Ingredients:	Asparagus spears (snapped at the joint)
	ramen noodles
	Sesame oil
	Chicken breast - uncooked
	Sunflower seeds
Recipe Text:	Boil ramen noodles (save the flavor packet - any flavor), drain off the water & set them aside. Take the sesame oil packet, attempt to open it with teeth, attempt to open it with knife & get most of the oil on your fingers, lips & counter. Get another packet & a pair of scissors, gently clip a corner & pour the oil onto a small plate. Take a flavor packet & sprinkle a little over the sesame oil. Brush (or whatever method you choose) the chicken breast with the flavored oil, both sides & BBQ - yes, BBQ, it's the only was to get the right flavor. Roll the asparagus spears in the sesame oil until well coated & throw them on the BBQ until just tender, but still a little crunchy - DO NOT OVER GRILL THE ASPARAGUS! or you'll hate this dish. Cut the asparagus & the chicken into chunks. Pour the rest of the flavor packet into the drained noodles along with some sunflower seeds. A little green onion adds some zip, but the grilled sesame asparagus is the key - really ads an interesting flavor to the noodles.

	can of Hormel chili

Then pop it in the microwave on high for a few minutes until you see the cheese melting. Once its good and melted, stir it all up and then pour on as much of the hot sauce as you like, depending on how much your tongue can take, and enjoy!! This should last 1 hungry college guy a couple of days, or can feed an entire dorm room for a night.

Title:	Thai Top Ramen
Date:	08/19/1998
Submitted By:	Karen Minerich
Submitted From:	Puyallup, Washington
Ingredients:	Fresh garlic
	Several boiled chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
	Maggi sauce (like soy sauce)
	Juice of 2-4 lemons
	Iceberg lettuce cut up
	Cilanto leaves
	Celery leaves
	Bean sprouts
	Red pepper flakes
Recipe Text:	Chop fresh garlic and fry until golden brown in oil. Make a lot, because the preparation is very smelly. Once the garlic is fried, put in a jar with a lid, cover with the oil. Will keep indefinately in the fridge and can be used any time you need to fry garlic in a recipe, but you will definitely need to keep some on hand for this soup. Prepare 2 packages of beef top ramen as indicated in directions. Spoon into bowl. Into bowl of top ramen, add the following: chicken to taste, 17 shakes of maggi sauce (do not be frightened, this is like soy sauce only milder), 2+ tsp. of lemon juice, bean sprouts, cilantro leaves to taste, lettuce, and red pepper flakes (be brave) to taste. Add 1/4 tsp. of the garlic, drained. Stir, taste. The taste should be a little (or a lot) hot, sour, and crunchy. I do this often for parties, with each ingredient in a dish of its own. I tell the guests how to mix it (each does to own taste, anything can be added or left out). This reminds me of the "fondue" parties we used to have. I have never met anyone who did not like this, rave about it, and really enjoy the participation part.

	1/2 cup oil
	1 or 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
	1/3 cup water
	3 tablespoons sugar
Recipe Text:	Assemble shortly before serving.
1. Chop, slice and dice green cabbage, and some green onion to taste. Refrigerate.
2. Crush ramen inside of packet into chunks..any flavor works. Open and place in microwave safe bowl. Add 2-3 tablespoons butter. handful of sesame seeds, package of almond slivers, and the flavor packet. Mix and cover with paper towel. Toast in microwave-high for 1 minute at a time, stir, high for 1 minute again until all is lightly browned. Set this aside...be warned that it is as addictive as cookie dough so if you want some left for the salad...hide it.
3. In shaker bottle, mix 1/2 cup oil , 2/3 cup rice wine vinegar, two or three tablespoons of shoyu (soy sauce), i 1-2 tbsp. sesame oil, 1/3 cup water, and 3 tbsp. sugar. Shake until sugar dissolves. You can play with these proportions..some like more sesame oil, but do not use it for the 1/2 cup oil base. Too much of a good thing. Chill dressing.
4. Just before serving, dump cabbage, ramen topping into salad bowl. Shake dressing and add..toss and serve.

Title:	Korean Style Ramen
Date:	07/18/1997
Submitted By:	Melissa
Submitted From:	Dover, Delaware
Ingredients:	Oriental flavor Ramen Noodles
	Pepperoni (thinly sliced)
	Kimchi *
	Green onions
	One egg per package
Recipe Text:	Cook the noodles according to package instructions. When the noodles are halfway done, add the pepperoni. Let the noodles continue to cook (at medium heat). Then when the noodles are almost cooked, add the kimchi and egg. Tip #1- Sometimes the water soaks into the noodles, which leaves you without juice. If this occurs, just add more water and let it heat up. Tip #2- Certain types of pepperoni are very greasy. So, if you don't enjoy greasy food warm up the pepperoni in the microwave, on a paper towel. Then add it to the noodles. Next, add the green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!!! * Kimchi is pickled cabbage. In other words, it's spicy. You can find it in any oriental store.

Title:	Incredibly Hearty Ramen
Date:	01/12/98 21:16:42
Submitted By:	Matt Lindblom
Submitted From:	Quincy MA
Ingredients:	2 packages of ramen (I like chicken, but any will do)
	Sherry cooking wine
Recipe Text:	This is for the strong-stomached. Well, you add about enough sherry to barely cover the bottom of the pan, then add your water and _one_ (yes, one) brick of noodles. Toss the other brick, or save it for one of those 'toss the flavor packet' recipes. But save BOTH flavor packets. When noodles are cooked, add both flavor packets (1 1/2 if you don't like it too strong). Boullion cubes can be used if you don't want to waste a package of noodles just for the packet. If that ain't strong enough, soy sauce and cayenne pepper can be used to spice it up.

Title:	Pregnancy Ramen
Date:	01/20/98 11:16:52
Submitted By:	Rebecca Coleman
Submitted From:	University of Maryland, College Park
Ingredients:	1 block of ramen (I like Top Ramen Sesame Flavor)
	1 egg
	Handful of thinly sliced carrots
	Handful of chopped scallions (green onions)
	Some crushed sesame seed-nori mix (available in Japanese markets)
Recipe Text:	This is the only way I could justify eating ramen noodles while pregnant. At least I could tell myself I was getting protein and veggies to counter the sodium and MSG. Mix up the egg as if you were going to scramble it and throw it in the pot when you put the ramen on to boil. Throw in the carrots at the same time. Meanwhile, put the ramen powder, nori mix, and scallions in the bottom of a bowl. Drain most of the water from the ramen and pour the noodles, egg, and carrots into a bowl. Mix and eat, salting every few forkfuls. Try not to think about what the MSG is doing to your unborn child.
Note:	This works well with Sesame, Chicken, and Oriental flavors, but tastes pretty bad with Beef, Spicy Beef, and Cajun Chicken. Not sure about Shrimp or Pork.

Ingredients:	Ramen
	Frozen corn niblets
	One egg
Recipe Text:	Start with however much water the package calls for, plus 1/4 or 1/2 cup more, in a saucepan. Get the water straight from the hot water faucet because, well, it's quicker. Add contents of flavor packet. Throw in two big handfuls of frozen corn niblets, and bring to a boil. For some reason, other vegetables just don't work as well. Add noodles (smashed, if you're in a hurry to eat it; intact if you have all afternoon) and bring to a boil again. When noodles are nearly done, crack an egg into it and stir immediately, so that you don't get big lumps of boiled egg. Let it simmer for a minute longer. Add thin slices of leftover chicken, ham, or porkchop, if you have any Serve in a very large bowl, and sprinkle with a lot of freshly ground pepper. Best eaten using a fork _and_ a large spoon.

Submitted From:	Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada
Ingredients:	1 package ramen (most non-fish flavours work)
	1 cooked ham steak, about 1/2 inch thick
	4 Velveeta cheese slices
Recipe Text:	Cut up ham steak into strips or cubes (I like strips better), and cut the cheese slices up into small cubes. THIS IS IMPORTANT -- if the pieces of cheese are too big, they don't melt properly. Place the cheese and ham into a plate or bowl. Cook ramen as per instructions, using only 1/2 the flavour packet in the boiling water. Drain the ramen and place the noodles into the plate/bowl with the ham and cheese in it. Cover the plate for 5-7 minutes to let the cheese melt. Mix up the goods with your fork and enjoy!

Submitted From:	University of Michigan Medical School
Ingredients:	1 can generic brand whole-leaf spinich
	1 can tuna
	1 package ramen (any brand)

Toss with salt, pepper, and a vinagerette if you like. Makes a nice pasta salad if chilled. This appears to be one of those foods which you can eat for months at a time without getting emotionally or physically sick. Enjoy!
Note:	(I have found this is the cheapest canned vegetable that provides a significant source of Vitamin C and A. It prevents scurvy and it's attendant annoying health problems, which I swear I have seen some college students exhibit, especially on ramen diets.)

Title:	Ramen Flambe
Submitted By:	Wes Ward
Submitted From:	University of Texas
Recipe Text:	Use a dark rum. In order for it to light correctly, you have to first warm the rum slightly on the stove top. Once it is warm, light the rum. Then pour the lighted rum on top of the Ramen block. Use approximately 3/4 cup of rum; much more than that and you risk not burning all of the rum. I tried it; it was decent. The rum and chocolate made an intersting flavor. The Ramen along the edges was slightly singed, but it was still good.
Note:	Follow the directions for Chocolate Bar Ramen. The only addition is that before serving, flambe it! The liquor adds an interesting twist to the flavor, and it takes your mind off what you're eating.

Title:	Curried Chicken Finger Ramen
Submitted By:	Amy Morrison
Submitted From:	Colorado Springs, CO
Recipe Text:	Prepare 1 package of chicken flavor ramen in your usual way. Add curry powder to taste. Slice up a few chicken fingers and add while it is cooking. This is a good way to re-hydrate the ones that are too dried out to eat straight. The breading on the chicken fingers takes on an unusual but not (to me) unpleasant texture. This is a lot cheaper if you live with someone who works at KFC or someplace that serves chicken fingers and can bring home leftovers.

If the ramen is cooked, it will be moldy by the time you get to your destination (personal experience). You may want to crush the ramen at this time, but it is not necessary. Then, add peanuts, pretzels, M&Ms (melt in your mouth, not in your ramen), walnuts, dried papaya, raisins, close the top of the bag and shake rigorously until homogeneous. Add a small amount of water to just coat the surface of the entire mixture and add a small amount of powdered sugar and chili powder. Shake again and you are ready to hit the trail!

Note:	Note from Ben: I've never heard of Ramens before but they sound like UK Bachelors style noodles. Bachelors are the expensive ones, the best(and cheapest) are from market stalls selling such culinary delights as 6 - months out of date pickles and wet, flood-damaged coffee. These noodles usually have product info in at least 4 South East Asian languages, and the spices in them blow your socks off.

Submitted By:	David Muggleston
Submitted From:	IDX Systems Corporation - Boston
Recipe Text:	Ramen noodles are ridiculously high in sodium and fat, and ounce-for-ounce, compared to regular pasta, aren't much of a nutritional or economic bargain. But damn, they're so good, who care's if it's the equivalent of six hours at a salt lick. 1. boil fresh mushrooms with the noodles, then toss with the mushroom flavor packet. simple and delicious. 2. use a packet of ramen (just the noodles) to stretch out a box of kraft macaroni and cheese. 3. cook ziti or other traditional pasta and toss with the ramen flavoring packet, chicken breast chunks and broccoli.

Submitted By:	Todd Zimmerman
Submitted From:	Philadelphia, PA
Recipe Text:	First off, you should be using the cheapest ramen you can possibly find for this...anywhere between 3 to 5 packs for a dollar is good. Now cook your ramen noodles without the flavor pack. I always overcook my noodles so that they get nice and bloated. This way you feel like you're getting more food. Drain all the water and mix in the flavor pack. Now slap some of that ramen onto your favorite/cheapest bread (less than $1.50 a loaf). (placing another slice of bread on top is optional) now you have a great tasting, filling meal that costs about fifty cents and can be eaten hot or cold. (RamenMaster's addendum: Why not put some cheap lunchmeat on there too, or perhaps some mustard?)

Title:	Norwegian Ramen (with Surgeon General's Warning)
Submitted By:	The Noodle Family
Submitted From:	California, USA
Recipe Text:	Mr. Noodlenose suggests that you use only as much seasoning as needed, then add finely sliced fresh vegetables and fishballs to your lovely snack. Fishballs can be found canned in American groceries. They are often manufactured in Norway and are the seafood equivalent of our beloved frankfurter. They consist primarily of worms that live between the vertebrae of codfish. Japanese and Taiwanese fishballs can always be discovered in the frozen foods section of Asian foodstores. The Japanese also produce something called "fish cake". This is the same material in a prettier form. Fish cake is usually colored light red on one side. When sliced and laid atop your instant noodles, these elegant red-white leaves of fish furter will draw plaudits (or obits) from your discerning frat brothers.
Note:	According to Mrs. Noodletoes, the very deadly part of the instant noodle kit is the unassuming little packet of salt/seasoning/preservatives/MSG that both Noodleguy and Noodlegal have seen unsupervised schoolmates consume with moistened fingers "as is". (See "Freebase Ramen" below.) These children are abusers who will become addicted in time to still more dangerous chemicals. (Mrs. Noodletoes' advisory might be taken with a grain of salt. After all, Mrs. Noodletoes also believes that Ramen Mania is a Japanese conspiracy meant to pollute the "precious bodily fluids" of our nation's young college-aged men and women.) Mrs. Noodletoes recommends that you discard or use less than the prescribed amount of the poisonous powder.

Title:	Tortilla Ramen
Submitted By:	Mr. David B. Sanderson
Submitted From:	Elkridge, Maryland
Recipe Text:	Cook ramen as normal, but add a dash of hot sauce while it is cooking. During last 30 to 45 seconds of preparation (while still in the water), add a handful of plain corn tortilla chips. The goal is to get the chips soft, but not to have them disintegrate. The best kind are the lightly salted variety, otherwise the salt can overwhelm the corn and ramen flavor.

Title:	Quick (Actual) Ramen Pancake
Submitted By:	Chris Ingle
Submitted From:	Penn State University
Recipe Text:	Cook ramen as directed (with flavor packet), maybe a little longer than usual, but not too long or it'll be mushy. Drain ramen completely in a colander or strainer. Heat a little bit of oil (maybe with a drop or two of sesame oil added for yummy flavor) in the bottom of a small skillet. Add the drained ramen, and press down flat with a spatula. Cook until a little bit crunchy on the skillet side; you should be able to flip the whole thing over and keep it intact. Grill the other side, and slip it onto a plate. I usually slice it into wedges, and eat it with some good Indonesian sambal chili sauce. You can also add green onions and garlic with the oil, as well as any finely cut veggies you have. It's extra good with some ginger added.

Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup safflower oil, 1/3 cup tamari, a medium sized bag of cabbage or shredded broccoli hearts and diced green onions together in a rather large bowl. Combine the ramen and sunflower seed mixture into the cabbage mixture and chill. Hopefully by the time you serve, the ramen noodles will have softened slightly, while still maintaining a bit of a delightful crunch.

Title:	Good-Smellin' Veggie Ramen
Submitted By:	Rose Auerbach
Submitted From:	Los Angeles
Recipe Text:	This needs to be done on a stove or hot plate. Put some water in a pot, then add some dry onion flakes to the water. Chop up a carrot and a green onion, toss them into the water, and cover. Boil the water. When it starts to smell good, take the top off the pot, throw in your ramen, and cook as usual. Add the flavoring of your choice; if you're not looking for a vegetarian entree then the chicken packet is good. Chinese chicken salad-type dressing also works wonders; if you don't have any, scare up some sesame oil and rice vinegar and add a little of each.

Title:	Thai Peanut Ramen
Submitted By:	Brandan Vanderpool
Submitted From:	University of Southern California
Recipe Text:	Cook Ramen as usual, do not use the flavor packet (put it aside for fried rice or chocolate pudding or something). Add 6 oz. (half a can) coconut milk to noodles, bring to slow boil (stir constantly if you don't want your milk to scald). Add half the content of a package of "A Taste of Thai" brand peanut sauce mix, stir, simmer covered for about two minutes before serving. You can add meat or veggies, if you want.

Title:	Ramen Egg Foo Young
Submitted By:	Cynthia Read
Submitted From:	University of Southern California
Recipe Text:	Cook the Ramen, drain. Scramble two eggs in a bowl, add about half of the flavor packet (hey add all of it if you want to), and some soy sauce. (You can either buy your own or steal some from the school cafeteria). Mix it all up and throw in the noodles right away, cause drained hot Ramen gets all clumpy and sticky. The hotness of the noodles will start cooking the egg, too. Then you can add veggies, if you want, and heat some oil in your pot. Put in half the egg-mixture, turn when brown, remove and repeat with the rest of the stuff. Make sure to make the Ramen crispy, it's yummier that way!

Title:	Freebase Ramen
Submitted By:	Ramenmaster
Submitted From:	University of Missouri-Rolla
Recipe Text:	Freebase Ramen is good for when you want a Ramen fix, but don't have the time to deal with cooking it. (It also works without a microwave.) To make freebase Ramen, all you need is the Ramen packet itself. First break the Ramen apart. Be careful to leave it mostly intact, you are not shooting for Ramen crumbs. Then, open the Ramen bag and the seasoning packet. Pour about half the contents of the seasoning packet into the Ramen bag. Then close the top of the Ramen bag and shake for about ten seconds. Open the bag up, and eat the Ramen dry with your fingers. (The seasoning gets a little messy sometimes, so people inclined to stay clean could use a spoon and a bowl.) Note: Be sure to start with only half of the seasoning. You can always add more, but if you add too much it will be salty and gross.

Title:	Ramen and Leftover Barbecue
Submitted By:	Shad Butler
Submitted From:	University of Chicago

Title:	Crunchy Ramen Sandwich
Submitted By:	Shad Butler
Recipe Text:	If you happen to be eating a sandwich and you miss the crunchy goodness of uncooked Ramen, simply add the Ramen to the sandwich. This works best with ham sandwiches, but will work with almost any lunchmeat. However I do not recommend that you try it with peanut butter. An additional benefit will be that you can use the flavor packet to enhance the taste of the sandwich.

Title:	Ramen Spaghetti
Submitted By:	Bob Brune and Tom Kuczwara
Submitted From:	University of Missouri-Rolla
Recipe Text:	If you are tired of normal flavored Ramen, try Ramen spaghetti. Simply cook the Ramen as normal, but don't add the flavor packets. Drain the water and add spaghetti sauce. Then heat the mixture in the microwave for about a minute. This will taste almost as good as normal spaghetti, but is a lot cheaper and easier to make.
