What was once known as a cheap pack of noodles for college kids is now being used in hundreds of gourmet recipes. From salads to casseroles, ramen has made its way to the hearts of Americans. Here are seven different ways to prepare and involve this cheap, delicious pack of noodles.
1. Ramen with hard boiled eggs.
While Ramen itself isn’t exactly full of protein, adding hard boiled eggs to it can add flavor and a health boost.
2. Ramen to-go.
Whether you’re craving a crunchy treat, or just in a hurry, Ramen noodles don’t need water to be delicious! Simply break up the noodles while the package is still closed, open the package and add the powder. It’s that simple!
3. Ramen with vegetables.
Ramen is delicious, but not exactly known for its health benefits. Adding a few greens and replacing the powder package with something a little healthier can make a huge difference.
4. Ramen with apple cider.
I know what you’re thinking. “this is weird”. Yes, it is weird. But don’t knock it till you try it! Pour in a splash of apple cider to add a nice fruity flavor to your ramen.
5. Add some vanilla to your ramen.
Who doesn’t love a great sweet and savory combination? By adding vanilla to your ramen, you can have just that.
6. Ramen in salad.
That’s right, ramen doesn’t have to be boiled and made on its own. Breaking up the noodles and adding them to a salad can a nice crunch.
7. Spicy ramen.
If you’re the kind of person that enjoys spicy foods, adding hot sauce to your ramen will definitely kick things up a notch.
When you’re on a budget and need to get creative, these are all great ways to do so. While these are only a few of the hundreds, there are many different ways to get creative with your ramen.
