Been going through some shit recently. Well not recently, but for awhile now. After being homeless since January 1st, losing my girl, truck, and everything I pretty much own, I finally landed a good job and today was my first day. Got a 2 dollar raise my first day!! Celebrated by making 2 packs of ramen. Its not much but it was enough to make me smile. Guess life does get better.

Congratulations, op! I feel relevant.

AllTheGoodOnesWereAlreadyTaken
I am so freakin' happy for you @OP! I just landed a steady job too after years of struggling. I hope we never forget how good this feels.
arealtexan
Right! Its a damn good feeling

Be careful! I shot my thyroid with ramen during a particularly hard period. Those packets are full of nothing but salt

When you make that "breath of relief" that you can make 2 instead of one, turning point of taking a deep breath.
Gasquatch
Shit!!!!!! Ramens is no joke

i mix one chicken and one beef, add sriracha and green onions.
arealtexan
Sounds pretty intriguing! New to the whole siracha kick, liked it every time Ive tried it though. And i love hotsauce in general
OccasionalPunctuation
Sounds like you lived through a country song there, op. Keep it up! You may upgrade to a packet of ramen + a beer!
Turb0Yoda
@OP Bullion Cubes and Spices... As an Indian guy who buys this at school... I need to start carrying that stuff. esp since I have it at home
gonzoh
Good for you op!
PerrinAybara
Way to go bro. Keep it up.
someonehereandthere
As a poor person. Add bacon bits. Add an egg. Add on sale ground beef. Add on sale sliced beef. Add anything on sale you can get.
Nahxela
Yo, you should truly celebrate and add an egg. Maybe chop up some ham, too.
HollaHollaHollaHolla
Yay!! Celebration times 2! As long as your happy

Drain the water, add the seasoning, four or five drops of Tapatio sauce. The closest thing to magic without being Harry Potter.
arealtexan
Always a fan of ramen and hot sauce. Usually use franks red hot.
wutarethis
do you put that shit on everything?
arealtexan
Bet your ass I do!
CydeFX
When they're done boiling I transfer them over to a bowl taking as little water as possible, then add the flavor packets. So, so fantastic.
Shabado
I add the flavor then noodles so they absorb the flavor while cooking. Also as dry as possible
DickPicEnthusiast
When I do this I like to pull a Paula Deen Special and add a dab of butter.
nefridelle
I dump mine in a colander. If it's the Beef ones I'll add some oregano and basil.
tarv0028
Yep, thats how I make it
maxxjq
I prepare according to directions then add an egg, like egg drop soup, then pour most of the broth out. Add sriracha and it's time to eat!
MrMcCrunch
I thought I was the only one that did that.
whitepolarbear
i sometimes just use butter and use the flavor packets when i make rice
ImguriansFillMySaltReservoir
Nuh, I love the sodium broth at the end. I make sure there's lots of water in that bowl.
SonicBoomYourFamily
Holy shit, I don't even boil the noodles. Boil water and poor over dry noodles, add flavoring. Extra crunchy. I know, I'm a monster.
hardcxresomthng
I do the same.

Ramen cereal
IfmynameisDICKdoesthatmakemeNSFW
Man I was excited that we do the same thing! I also add the packet after transferring to a bowl, but I LOVE the broth so I make it brothy
okillshutupnow
Fry an egg sunny side up, put on top of finished noodles to make it more "fancy"
MuddyDuckling
Put processed cheese on top. Sounds gross. But It works.
rockyz0321
Green onion is pretty cheap too, dice that shit up and toss it in a few min before removing from heat. #thelittlethings
AwesomestPhlebotomist
Or add some frozen broccoli and egg to make it more nutritious :)

Two packs of ramen is a luxury and you think they have eggs?
MadamPuddifoot

CanYouFeckinNot

A little bit of soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and Asian hot sauce of choice + over easy egg on top, break the yolk and mix it in. Umm
StupidityVirus
A bit of hot sause, onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and meat (optional) of some sort. It's my comfort food.
ArnoldBlinken
