Ramen Hacks!

Toss packet of seasoning, add miso paste (or just cook in your favorite broth). Ladle hot broth over fresh spinach, thinly sliced mushrooms, and scallions. Top with a soft boiled egg or fried egg.

Toss packet of seasoning, add ginger, garlic, onion/scallion, soy sauce, and chili paste or sauce.

Stir in kimchi and leftover pork or chicken

Egg drop - heat chicken broth instead of water, add favorite seasonings (maybe some ginger and garlic, a touch of sugar, a little rice wine vineager), swirl in beaten egg and add the noodle block.

Chili-flavored packet - add shredded rotisserie chicken, top with shredded cheese or avocado and salsa

Top with very thinly sliced beef - quickly sear in oil after seasoning with Chinese 5-spice blend and tossing lightly in corn starch. Add broccoli and onion.

Use half of a chicken flavor packet, drain broth, stir in a little butter, Parmesan cheese, and cracked black pepper.

Toss packet - drain most of the water, stir in a little peanut butter, hot chilis (paste or sauce) soy. Eat over thinly sliced cabbage, onion. Add tofu, toasted peanuts, or shrimp.

Some of those are things I do to make my leftovers into a new meal - cheap and fast way to change things up or use bits and pieces of leftover veggies. I always have a ton of condiments and cheese in my fridge too.

But I'm definitely down for a $.35 packet on its own (I always have at least some egg and hot sauce with them though).
