I've been craving ramen noodle soup lately and have been wanting to try making a "fancy" dinner soup for myself. Does anyone have any ideas how I can spike it up for a dinner sized meal? :D

    Skip the "ramen" noodles...did you know they are FRIED before dehydrating/packaging? I do now! Try whole grain or whole wheat pasta :-)

    Scrambled eggs, peas, shredded carrots, hot sauce....... the sky is the limit. my boyfried boils it and while its boiling he just drops an egg in it and starts to stirring. apparently he says its good......

    I add chicken chunks and frozen spinach leaves to it, but be careful using the whole spice packet...there's a ton of sodium in it.

    hey when you are craving something, eat it. dont kill yourself over it just bc its not the most nutritional item in the market.

    Get the shrimp flavored kind and add real shrimp to it. It's wonderful. My boyfriend and I just threw this together by accident one weekend and we were both surprised at how good it really was.

    Have you ever made this salad with them?

    It's very yummy. You can skip putting in the flavor pack (it only calls for 1, btw, so the sodium posted here is actually much less), and save some additional sodium. The calories are higher than actual, I believe, because it assumes you'll be consuming all that dressing, but actually, it ends up in the bottom of the bowl. Also, I only use 1/3c sugar and 1/3c vinegar in the dressing. I add shredded carrots, and you could add other ingredients like green or red pepper.

    When I was in college, we used to take broccoli, carrots, peas from the dining hall and throw them in ramen noodles for late night snack. You can put in hot sauce. Add a raw egg and start mixing it rapidly as others have noted. You do not have to add the whole spices package. Use half and keep the rest to mix it with angel hair pasta to make soup in the future.

    I make a half a package and add some soya sauce, siracha and a drop of sesame oil. Then i add some chopped up spinach, red peppers and mushrooms. Once the veggies are soft i drop and egg in and let it poach.

    when i was in college i would skip the packet of seasoning since i dont do chicken or beef, and put sweet and sour sauce over the noodles after i drained them. it was tasty.

    Only the wheat based egg noodles are pre-fried. If you want to cut down on calories look for rice based noodles or even better then bean vermicelli based noodles. Calorie difference is quite dramatic.

    I have the bean or rice noodles for lunch sometimes on weekends and beef them up with snow peas, green beans or broccoli. Will also poach an egg in the broth.

    Whatever I do with them I always add frozen peas at the end for some reason, but prawns and egg have been most popular choices here. Now I'm thinking tofu would also be good in there:)

    I just saw a book on this at the book fair...........the possibilities are endless! The beef one would be nice with cashews, peppers, onion, and teryaki beef. My aunt once made a salad and did not cook the noodles, it was crunchy and flavorful.:smooched:

    I recently made ramen, then added left over Thai Tom yum soup, then some more shrimp and veggies+ Sriracha. Lots of Sriracha. It was a masterpiece.
