Making Ramen Palatable

Many students eat ramen. Okay, it is cheap, easy, and quick; but it is not the most flavorful. Well, after some careful consideration I have found some simple tricks to make the bland noodle soup palatable.

What you will need:

1 package of chicken ramen

2 cups water (as per instructions)

1 teaspoon of sesame oil

1 teaspoon of sesame seeds

1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

A dash of curry powder

1 or 2 eggs

  • Place water in saucepan; add oil, sesame seeds, oil, curry, and half of the included seasoning packet.
  • Bring the water to a boil. Add the noodles, and cook for about 3 min.
  • Add the eggs and slowly stir in. The resulting soup has half the salt of the original ramen (all the sodium is in the seasoning), at least twice the flavor, and some low fat protein. Enjoy
