Ramen is a way of life at college. You’re either anti-Ramen, a fan of Ramen or a hardcore-I-would-promise-you-my-first-born-child-for-some-Ramen kind of person. All are thoroughly acceptable.
I, myself, was never a fan of Ramen until I became a mad Ramen scientist and began experimenting with the most simple of ingredients. So, here are some of my findings (all backed by intensive research, I assure you). All ingredients used can be found at any food convenience store on campus (Ex: The Mix) and are all so cheap and accessible I’m sure someone else has come up with this before and I’m late to the Ramen party (have I said the word ‘Ramen’ enough yet?).
Cheddar Broccoli Ramen
Prep Time: 1 minute

Total Time: 9 minutes

Ramen
water
Directions:
1. Microwave your Ramen in a bowl for around 3:45 min.
2. Once it’s done, pour in the two powder mix packets and stir.
3. Let it sit for a few minutes so it becomes less of a soup and more of an approachable meal.

I have personally made and tried all of these, and I assure you that they are good to eat! These are all Nikki-and-her-roommates approved, so get microwaving!
*Seriously, remember to drain excess water or you’ll drown yourself in the Ramen. That’s no way to go, man.
