Ramen Noodles, What Every Person Should Know!

If you've ever been down on your financial luck, chances are you've heard of "Ramen Noodles." For less than a dollar, you can feed eight people, or have a couple full days of meals for yourself. (Sorry guys, but if you buy the ones already in the bowl, you'll probably only get three meals!) My advice would be to supply your own bowl, it'll be cheaper.

This handy little packet of noodles has become quite a lifesaver for me when my stomach starts telling me I haven't fed it for awhile. Rather than risk embarrassment at my place of employment, I pull out basically the only thing I can comfortably afford and pop it in the microwave. In a mere three minutes, lunch is served! This also works great as an after school snack, you might not even have to wait the three minutes, and they can be eaten fresh out of the package!

For those of us that have bills to pay, or maybe you just like Ramen Noodles, after awhile you can get a little weary of the constant supply of chicken, beef, oriental or shrimp noodles. No matter how much you rotate them, the flavor just isn't all that appealing anymore.

I'm here to help. Did you know those little noodles could be added to other things to stretch your grocery budget further? Thanks to the experimenting of others there's a full boatload of recipes you can try. Noodles for breakfast, noodles for lunch and noodles for supper. Your children will be thrilled! There's even recipes for Ramen dessert.

I can't give enough credit where credit is due for this one. At least if you're on a soup kitchen budget, like I am, you can add a little zing to those meals and maybe disguise them a bit so you don't get the "Ramen again?" from the rest of the family.

Keep in mind though, eventually you do have to eat other food, ramen noodles are considered "junk food" for their low nutritional value, and high carbohydrates. It contains MSG (monosodium glutamate) and a high sodium value, so I wouldn't really recommend them for long-term usage. It does pull one through a tough time on occasion though, and hopefully you will be able to use a few of these recipes to create a different, and more nutritional meal than the noodles straight. Good luck!
