Hey! Have a look around the site – I think that people should know that Top Ramen’s not bad and can be doctored up, but honestly there are some amazing varieties out there – I’ve reviewed 640+ unique instant noodles from around the world at this point! I add things to noodles too – check out the How I Eat My Noodles article for more on that. Also, please consider checking out the Noodle Shop – helps pay the bills.

UPDATE – 1/22/2012 – Here’s a list of recipes people have submitted – submit yours and I’ll add it to the list! Just add a comment at the bottom!

Spicy Cheesy Chicken Ramen
instant chicken flavored ramen
1 slice of American cheese
sriracha hot sauce.

Prepare ramen as normal, add to serving bowl. Add slice of American cheese and

stir in to create a creamy broth. Add hot sauce to preference.

Take the seasoning packet and mix it with 12 oz sour cream, wait 20 minutes for

flavors to meld, and it’s awesome potato chip dip. I got this idea from the

inaugural issue of the Lucky Peach quarterly (from David Chang).

In my experimentation, better brands of instant ramen like Myoko Chukazanmai

Oriental Flavor and Nong Shim Shin Ramyun have better seasoning packets than

cheaper brands like Top Ramen. FYI, Myoko Chukazanmai and Nong Shim have two

packets per instant ramen package. Use both: Each packet is different.

Do something else with the noodles such as mixing with your own homemade broth or

stock.

`I like to boil my soup in the microwave, and when it comes out steaming hot, I

stir in a raw beaten egg, then cover tightly with press and seal and nuke it

again or 45-60 seconds then let it sit for 3-5 minutes. It results in your egg

being mixed-in scrambled somewhere between the eggs in fried rice and egg drop

soup. The nice thing is that the egg sticks to the noodle so you get a little in

every bite.

Also, I’ve developed a wheat allergy, so I’ve taken to using bean threads and/or

rice noodles instead and using Gluten Free versions of Kitchen Basics or Better

Than Bullion chicken/ beef/ vegetable/ ham stock. It’s not the same, but it works

if you’re out of ramen or can’t have wheat.

Someone mentioned throwing in a can of tuna. I like the pre-seasoned tuna and

chicken pouches. Particularly the sundried tomato flavor, the Thai chili flavor

and the garlic-herb flavor. Then you don’t need to add additional seasoning.

New Recipe. Only way I have eaten Ramen noodles for the past 7 years now is to boil the noodles, add butter, soy sauce, and grated Parmesan cheese. Every time I tell my friends about it their face cringes, but once they try it they’re hooked.

I was pretty amazed that I’ve actually tried a good number of the ramen you have rated which kinda made me feel cool >.> But there are so many I just
-have- to try. And some awesome recipes here I want to try too.

One way I like to make ramen that my husband loves is what I call “Fried Ramen Soup”

I boil the ramen and then fry it in a pan with a little oil (I use canola but other oils can give it a new and interesting flavor, like sesame oil.)
A little bit of magi and some peper.

I then make the soup or broth with the little flavor pack/s provided with the ramen and add the fried crispy noodles to the soup.

I also add meats sometime like thin sliced pork or beef and usually some cabbage and an egg. It’s really yummy. I hope you give it a try!

So may of these recipes SOUND amazing and I definitely ate my fair share of ramen throughout high school and college, but I can no longer bring myself to buy ramen once I actually started studying nutrition. The amount of sodium alone in each flavour package is approximately a full days worth, and that’s just the tip of the health nightmare iceberg! Do you know of any “low sodium” or healthier version ramen? I know..stupid question as most of the international ramen packages aren’t in english, nor do they have to follow our FDA if theyre not technically being sold here (ie, buying online)…but I came across your site while “Stumbling” and thought I’d ask…

  Yeah a lot of people have an issue with the sodium. What I would say first though is that there is a huge amount of sodium in foods you would get at a restaurant as well; go to someplace fancy and get a burger and fries or some chicken and it can easily out salt the ramen. As far as healthier alternatives, there’s GreeNoodle which contains this stuff called Moroheiya – pretty nasty and something I didn’t care for. Another brand is Koka. They don’t fry the noodles and so they are much lower in fat as well as sodium. Also, they’re extremely good! I’d seek them out. One thing I should note too – there’s a lot of people who go on about MSG. Did you know that MSG contains less sodium than table salt?
  
  Thanks for your question!
