I do a pretty unusual procedure when I feel like Ramen… I substitute items… For example\> I substitute pancakes for the noodles. I substitute maple syrup for the soup. I substitute butter for the spice packet. And I use strawberries instead of chili. That works for me very time. Oops! Gotta run… Going to ~iHOP :wink: ---

My preferred method for stabbing pancakes is mid-air using Eli hops. Chopsticks are for catching flies. ---

Go to Costco. Get a 6 pack of Kirkland boxed chicken stock. Much better than canned chicken broth. Also get one of those big, cheap Costco rotisserie chickens and a big bag of frozen peas. Debone the chicken and cut into small pieces. Put it in a freezer bag. Throw away the seasoning pack. Cook as directed but use chicken stock instead of water. Throw in a bit of chicken and leave the rest in the freezer. At the end of cooking toss in some peas. You want them to warm, but not cook. You should be able to get about 18 meals out of the case of stock and the single large chicken. ---

I love me a Creamy Chicken flavor ramen. Noodles cooked to chewy, drain most of the water - just enough so that the full MSG packet makes it nice and thick. If I’m feeling extra fancy, I’ll mix in a small scoop of day-old rice. 👌🏻 ---

You take some veggie broth, put 4-5 packs of noodles in and cook, get a serving in a bowl, put one pack of top ramen soy flavor powder, with some ginger, a boiled egg, seaweed, canned corn, mushrooms, and marinated tofu. 🍜🍜😁😁😁 ---

I haven’t. I’ve made this recipe though and it’s good. The Serious Eats version is better but you have to find a few other ingredients. ---

It does well as a gift too. It last a while and is easy to do a large batch then jar in smaller portions for said gifting. Homemade tasty goodness.
