Meals on the cheap?

[Irving]

I have a friend who bought a whole turkey and ate that for a week.

I like to put a dollop of butter in the Ramen, the spice packet, and some Frank's Red Hot. I also pour out some of the water. You'd be surprised how simple spices like cilantro and oregano can make Ramen easier to eat over long periods of time.

If you scramble an egg and put it in the water about two minutes before the noodles are done, it comes out kind of like Chinese Hot and Sour (the consistency, not the taste). Put some fresh spinach in the water as you are preparing it (so it has like 30 seconds to simmer) and it is pretty good and different enough that it is almost like eating a different meal.

That's the great thing about Ramen Noodles, Variety of flavors + All the other stuff you can add to them = Hundreds of ways to keep your taste buds somewhat happy on the cheap.

I make some noodles and add an egg while its in a rolling boil. Its kinda like an egg drop soup like was mentioned earlier. And its pretty good too. I like eggs they always seem to supercharge me but always the next day after I eat them. Go figure?

The good thing about adding eggs to Ramen, is it gives good nutritional value to a not so nutritional food item. I would definitely think of some other nutritional items to add to your Ramen. Just because you are eating on the cheap, doesn't mean you have to cheap out on the nutrition, especially if you have kids.

I like boiling bratworst in beer cutting them up and adding to the Ramon Noodles. I could write a book with all the different ways I found to make noodles.
