Just wondering, with so many of us either college students/younger broke people lol, what're your fave tricks to use these bad boys for? 

[TempestTenor]

I've never made this myself, but a popular dish at any Hong Kong Cha Chan Teng (literally "Tea Restaurant."  I guess it's the cultural equivalent of the American diner) is a bowl of ramen topped with a fried egg and slices of ham.  The breakfast of champions!

There are also certain brands of ramen where the noodle brick is pre-flavored and is meant to be eaten raw as a snack.

[piperspitt]

 used to mix in a random bag of frozen vegetables.

[landfill]

mix in chicken noodle soup

[thehoffman]

mix in another pouch of ramen noodles.

[MediumSexy]

Open (and drain) a can of mushrooms. The cheap(est) Wal-Mart brand works nicely...

[Dre]

Lunchmeat (I like ham best)
Vegetables (I like green peppers, since one can feed like 4 people when mixed with stuff)

Dice ham. Dice green stuff. Heat ham. Cook green stuff. Make Ramen noodles. Mix. Enjoy.

Frankie made this for me when he stayed at my place a few months back. It was like the only thing that he made that I didn't like. ::shrugs:: give me any of the parts straight up, and it's all good.

Sam's Club was my best friend. I'd get (and still get) a month's supply of chicken breasts for 15$ and a 50 pack of this (Chicken only, Beef is horrible) for 5$, then I'd bake the chicken, cut it up, and have it with green peppers. It was surprisingly great this way, could never tell I was killing myself with sodium overdose! hehe

[drunkenmasterchan]

chicken flavor, leave water with a slice of american cheese.

chili flavor, drain water with salsa con queso and crushed Doritos.

shrimp flavor, drain all water add tuna and tabasco sauce. and a slice of cheese ! lol

i was single for a long time guys.

Almost forgot one of my favorites...

Po' Man's Sketti

Ingredients needed:
1 pack - Ramen Noodles (as cheap as you can get, we're talkin' "off brand" ramen)
1 can - Store brand spaghetti sauce (You probably don't need the whole can)

Instructions:
Cook ramen according to instructions. Drain. Open can of spaghetti sauce. Mix according to taste (I prefer heating the sauce IN my noodles on the stove.)

Serving Suggestion:
Can be served with "Po' Man's Garlic Toast" (see recipe below.)

Po' Man's Garlic Toast

Ingredients Needed:
2 Pieces - Bread (The store brand. Try for the non-moldy stuff.)
A Little bit o' - Butter spread (Don't get fancy on me now, just any butter spread will work)
(Optional) - Garlic salt (remember, this ingredient is TOTALLY optional. Use at risk of changing the recipe name!)

Instructions:
Put the bread in a toaster (cook to your desired crunchiness/color level.) When it pops up, spread a "little bit o' butter" on it. (Optional step: sprinkle some Garlic Salt on it for flavor. Enjoy with recipe above.

You poor, poor soul.  I think we need to start a TCO charity fund for MediumSexy right away!

[Dre]

Even I will donate money to this cause.

NO ONE. Not even MC Hammer, should be this broke.

[Rein]

Looks like we have a full on TCO ghetto cookbook going lol.  Keep it up..gonna try most of those.

[TempestTenor]

Ah I just remembered a dish my mom used to make during the years right after we immigrated to the US.  It's not ramen-based, but it's close enough:

Ingredients:
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
Spaghetti

Instructions:
1) Cook spaghetti
2) Heat/cook can of soup
3) Mix spaghetti and soup
4) ???
5) Delicious, delicious profit

It's actually really good.

Well, It's so tough to find a job now (especially since I'm in Tech School and have classes Mon, Tue, Wed & Thu nights from 5:30 - 8pm) I'm about ready to write a book of Po' Man's Eatin's and sell it (for donations of course.)

Look for the paypal "donate now" link soon. Hehe...

[Homeless]

dude... set me up one of them there links.... and one of those fancy paypal accounts....

personally, i'm too poor to add anything to the ramen...but back when i was slightly less poor i learned to never EVER cook your ramen with apple juice.

[MediumSexy]

Hey hey, Homeless!!!

You and I should have a "Claim the name" match up at the store. I figure with my wife pregnant and everything else falling down around me, I can use your nickname.

You can go back to being known as "David Webb" (aka. - Jason Bourne!)

I swear I can remember seeing Big Show on that saturday show they used to have talking about being so broke in college? or something that he ate toothpaste sandwiches.  Anybody know if I'm crazy on that or what?

[MediumSexy]

I grew up eating "Wish Sandwiches" (sometimes with ketchup)

Take two pieces of bread (or, in dire circumstances one piece folded over) and you just "wish" you had something between them...

Wanna hear what the sad part is? Right now I'm out of bread

[frehocc]

i'm in Singapore. The basic meal is the wonton noodle, Roti prata, chicken rice or fried kuay tiao, costing the equivelent of USD$1.50.

For the really poor, we get char siew meat buns and/or all kinds of buns with cool stuff inside, costing around USD$0.30 each.

If you are "Pittman" poor, you can get 5 packs of instant noodles (curry is preferred) for USD$0.60 and some eggs for USD$0.10 each. Drop the noodles and eggs into hot water and they are ready in 3 mins. And they are REALLY delicious. they are all the rave in the military here (at least in my time).
I must say, if I'm as poor as pittman, I'll throw some seeds out my front window. I live in a tropical region. I'll see an apple tree the next morning.


And Brian, I got lazy at your place. i'll unleashed my full cooking powers next time, at least let you taste my curry chicken at FULL power instead of the sample I made. I also missed out on the hainanese chicken rice. Did turtle make you some herbal chicken? She was asking the last time I emailed her...

Next time, you get to try kungpao chicken, triple colour egg fried rice and some crazyass thing involving lots of kinds of mushrooms and sauces (I'm amateur learning from my cook uncle in my spare time)

[Dre]

Wow ... Ric, you sir, are BROKE.

I thought I was broke (ask Pat, I've pretty much always got lint in my pockets). You broke.

How you don't have bread for a Wish Sandwich?

[thehoffman]

I swear I can remember seeing Big Show on that saturday show they used to have talking about being so broke in college? or something that he ate toothpaste sandwiches.  Anybody know if I'm crazy on that or what?

I remember that too. Isnt there something cheaper to put of bread than toothpaste?

I doubt that even IF toothpaste is cheaper, I would put it in...I wouldn't mind putting just a few more cents for some PB

[KevinPeters]

Good God people. This is the bottom of the barrel, lol

Toss a couple raw deal cards in da wish sandwich. Fiber ftw

Some suggestions, but not experienced in this area
1. Hit up the soup kitchens
2. Dumpster dive
3. Give up the ass for a couple bucks
4. Scrape the bread across floor for a meaty surprise.

No one, and I repeat no one, should have to eat po man's sketti

I did get a good chuckle out of this.
