Maybe I'll start taping myself cooking, I have some good easy recepies that I think everyone has to know if ur living alone or in college with little ingredients at ur disposal.
I've never been able to get into Shin Ramyun. The noodles are just way too thick for my taste. I do admit the flavor packets are good, but that doesn't do anything for me when I can't stand the noodles.
I always like trying new combinations, but my current favorite is:
Noodles into boiling water, pre-seasoned with a few dashes of hot sauce (I tend to use either normal Tabasco, Habanero Tabasco, or Crystal) 3:10 timer started Liberal usage of hot sauce (I won't ever do it again, but just last week I used an entire small bottle of Tabasco in one sitting) 80% of seasoning packet Full Jalapeno/couple slices of onion chopped 2:00 - 4 slices of cheddar cheese 1:00 - 1 egg, stirred
Makes for a good soup, with just the right amount of spiciness. Generally enough to make your nose run a good bit, but not enough to make you feel sick afterward (like when I used the full bottle of hot sauce.) I like to add thin slices of steak if there's any left over, and whatever else I think will be good inside.
I put my noodle brick in a plate with the flavouring powder (and add some additional spices i don't know the english name of ), then i boil some water and pour it into the bowl. After i've stirred it i put a plate to completely cover the other plate and let it stand for 2-3 minutes.
As german I am really often disappointed by the way foreigners make ramen. This is really strange because it is one of the easiest dish to cook.. Don't blame if you alredy know it but here is it the RIGHT way of making ramen.
Take your cooker and fill it with water; Wait until water boils; Put salt in the water as much as needed; Wait until water boils; put ramen; wait the time written in the box. However you want to check it time by time to make sure ramen arrives to the right cooking time. Drain the cooker. Add egg

shin ramyun is better
what i occasionally like to do is buy packeted noodles (hokkien or udon are nice, i dont like rice noodles), bok choy, spring onions, a random jar of asian sauce and frozen dumplings (i know a place that makes them, can't comment on the regular factory produced ones) steam the dumplings, boil the noodles & bok choy. drain and mix the noodles with the sauce, throw the dumplings on top and cut spring onions over it.
its like a higher class version of instant noodles that requires almost as little effort to prepare
I usually cook the ramen and soup separate. First I cook the noodles in water, and then wash them under cold water. Then I boil hot water, add in the soup and throw in the noodles.
I like to do this so the noodles are more chewy and less soft ^^.
I prepare it normally a lot of the time, but once in a while I eat it in a really weird way. After cooking I drain the all of the water and stir in the packet. It makes the noodles kind of spicy haha. A bit salty but it tastes pretty good
i tried it once and i ate it in like 3 seconds, the portions are so small but i swear i remember it being like 800 calories with like 1902371930 grams of sodium... for that small portion... wow

You know I'm always shocked when someone hasn't tried ramen, I don't know why. I'm also surprised you eat a packet everyday, I wouldn't recommend it but I can understand why because they're quite delicious. Everyone I know has at least one box of emergency Mi Goreng incase there's nothing else to eat.
