I’m not afraid to admit that I keep Ramen noodles as part of my food stores. They are cheap, convenient, have a long shelf life, easily stored, are a comfort food, kids love them, and last but not least… tasty.
From a prepper standpoint they have a couple of drawbacks, one being you have to use water to reconstitute them, the second is the water needs to be hot or boiling. While not the end of the world, it could be a problem depending on your particular situation. Aside from these issues, it’s the perfect food in emergency situations. Heck, I may even decide to put a case or two in Mylar bags and then store them in my food grade buckets for the long haul!
With that said, check out this article from Serious Eats on how to upgrade your instant noodles.

Nothing wrong with Ramen Nodels! The article you linked to reminds me of college thats all I could afford back then I think I cam up with at least 50 ways to eat them
Personally I find Ramen noodles disgusting, but it is better than starving. Knorr (Lipton) makes some rice dishes in small bags that I’m going to try some experimenting with over the weekend. They’re cheap – about a dollar. I’m trying to find an edible way to make them that doesn’t involve boiling water. I want to try to make it edible with just room temp tap water.
El-Cheapo brick-style ramen are perfectly edible and just as caloric when consumed dry.
This is great… Just came across this post… I usually do an egg and thawed veggies in mine, but this is new perspective…
Once concern – the high sodium count may require you to drink more water.
