Moviewhore's Week of Ramen for One

One 3 ounce package ramen noodles (whatever is on sale)

Pyrex bowl or large measuring cup

2 cups water

Utensil of choice


Put water in bowl (or measuring cup).

Heat the water in microwave on high for 3 minutes.

Remove bowl from microwave. Place noodles in hot water.

Let noodles sit in hot water for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

After 5 minutes, add artificial flavouring packet.

Drain water into bowl using colander.

Enjoy! You're eating RAMEN, goddammit.


Variations:

Add 4-5 of those little lemon juice packets they give away at fast food restaurants, or the school cafeteria.

Add three packets of ketchup (also from cafeteria), some cut up onion and green peppers and make "Ramen Gazpacho Bachelero".

Add a can of cheap tuna, or if in a pinch, a can of jack mackerel or cat food.

When the kids are there, drain the cooked ramen, add a can of sloppy joe mix and make a traditional Sunday dinner.

On Fridays, use beer instead of water to cook the ramen, and serve with malt vinegar.

For holidays, simmer the ramen in ham glaze, and toss in some cut up pineapple.
