Ramen and rice? Never tried that before but it looks good! With all the social distancing and self-isolation, it gives me plenty of time to work on trying new ways to make ramen. Some really creative recipes in this thread that Iā€™ll have to try out! ---

I dump a pack w/o flavor packet into a bowl then pour a can of soup over it and stick it in the microwave. ---

Hmm there is no set way for me. Sometimes I like it just like the packet says, noodles, flavor packet and boiled water. Sometimes I drain most of the water and leave just enough to mix up the flavor packet. Sometimes I will drain all the water and add the flavor packet, a little soy sauce, some sesame oil, a little thin teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds. Another one I like I got from a chef that owns a food truck out here in California in an interview is make the ramen like the packet and add a slice of American cheese on top so it melts. I know sounds bizarre but it works. Itā€™s like flaming hot Cheetos and cream cheese, if you havenā€™t tried that you owe it to yourself. And finally if I am feeling fancy and want to try and make it as close to the restaurant as I can I will boil the water and noodles crack an egg into the boiling water and noodles, which cooks the egg like a egg flower soup, and some cold cuts and then add the sauce packet at the end. It may be still 10 for a $1 but you can get pretty creative with it. ---

Strangest thing with cheese Iā€™ve learned was OK. Cheez Whiz squirt cheese stuff on Captain Crunch cereal, dry. Weird but not that bad. Ramenā€™s invention/history to feed a starving public and all that can/has been done with it over the decades is creativity at its finest imho! I still wish this place mat setting was actually available from Nissin. Iā€™ve ordered [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFwz-SvcBV4) and the MadMaxx and the egg one from Japan but found it wasnā€™t the hottest readily available in the US by far. Really good, but SamYang hot chicken is much spicier. ![nissan hot ramen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/7/b/b7b296e60c04eef009db0a974be9dc5ea15e2930.png) ---

Prepare per instructions, add a big squirt of Sriracha once itā€™s in the bowl, and stir. Anything more is blasphemy. ---

Well I tried and failed somewhat. My rice got too mushy and starchy after I added the ramen. Iā€™ll go less water or fresh cooked rice next time. Tasted good, just not my favorite texture. Yours looks much better. ![20200407_163912 - Copy](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/e/5/7e527312debaaada923adbb81d056966ac519644.jpeg) ---
