Today we're seeing just how much lemonade we can make with one of life's most ubiquitous lemons, mountains of instant ramen. A favorite of damn near everyone at some point in their life, ramen is capable of being the backdrop to many ingredients you may have around the pantry or fridge even as you're reading this. Which, if you are, thank you for reading this, you are going the extra mile.

Ramen moves up to a meal with the addition of almost any canned or leftover meat & veg. Our favorite is spicy Korean Ramen, fried hot & spicy spam chunks, onions, zucchini or squash, garlic & mushrooms with a little more broth to make it like a soup. It's so versatile that you don't even have to use the packets & create all kinds of concoctions.

@@fizzpopwow I'm sorry, but I actually don't have a written recipe with instructions, since I based my blend off of the ingredient list from a discontinued bottle of "Cajun" seasoning from Archer Farms (ie. Target's private label), and also adjusted everything to suit my own personal taste. The date on the bottle I have says '2008', so they definitely don't make this specific blend anymore. Also, I'm fully aware that Cajun seasoning is really just salt, cayenne pepper, garlic, and black+white pepper, while Creole seasoning can begin with a Cajun seasoning base, PLUS some dry herbs (usually an Italian herb blend). The first ingredient listed on the bottle is _*sea salt*_, but I omitted that from my blend, since I wanted to be able to add the salt, separately from the spice blend. I also omitted sugar, since the sweetness from my particular dry basil is plenty sweet as-is. Please also note that I've changed the order in which the ingredients are listed, as they are in DECREASING order, in terms of ratios. For example, since onion is at the top of the list, my recipe has more onion than garlic, and more garlic, compared to cayenne pepper, and so on. All that being said, here is the ingredient list: +onion (ie. dry onion flakes, granulated onion, or onion powder) +garlic (granulated garlic, or garlic powder) +cayenne pepper +sweet paprika +black pepper (whole black peppercorns, or freshly-ground black pepper; OR 3-color peppercorn medley) +mustard seeds +dry oregano +dry thyme +dry sweet basil +crushed red pepper flakes +allspice -- My own additions to the above list, but also in decreasing order/ratios: +celery seeds +chili powder +smoked paprika Add all of the above into an electric spice grinder and grind until everything is into a fine/medium-fine powder. At that point, you can add either an amount of rosemary powder and/or some coarsely-ground dry rosemary needles, depending on whether or not you want some texture contrast.

my ramen upgrade has always been pretty simple, I almost always have cooked chicken around because I buy costco rotisserie chickens for sandwich meat. So I just throw some of that in some chicken ramen I hard boil an egg and toss a few slices in, add some soy sauce to the broth. and finally just throw in some cooked frozen carrot and sweet corn bits.
Something I've done recently was save leftover gravy. Stirfry some veggies, add the gravy with some ground ginger, garlic, and a cup of water. Bring to a boil. Take off the heat. Add a packet of ramen (not seasoning, just noodles) and some soy sauce. Let sit three minutes

my most recent ramen hack is using a portion of the seasoning packet as a base for dipping sauce. then, i add the dried veggie pack, peanut butter, and lemon. i dont have specific measurements, its all just to taste. to make sure the noodles dont dry out too much, i keep them in some of the noodle soup base

Any kind of meat or veggies thrown in will make a ramen better. I personally keep a bunch of green onion to cut up and put on top of my bowl, it's simple but it makes it visually more appealing, adds some freshness and some light crunch
You can also use ramen for a stir fry. Great way to use up leftovers and produce.
My ramen upgrades involve dried seaweed, boiling shrimp tails with leftover shrimp juices, toasted sesame oil, bonito flakes, thinly sliced green onions (I don't have any scallions) and half a hard boiled egg in each bowl of noodles. I may add in some slices of narutomaki if I ever get my hands on any.
as I prep to go back to college, this is the perfect video for me. I already have a Costco sized box of ramen, now I just need to prep some upgrades!

Whenever I want to 'upgrade' my ramen, I just add in butter, shrimp, bits of imitation crab and a boiled egg. One time I added in some corn, too.
what I've seen on a post online a few times, one of the easiest ways to upgrade a ramen packet is to just add in some of the meat that the ramen is trying to imitate, so for beef ramen add in beef chunks, chicken bites for chicken ramen, pork for pork ramen and so on

When you get sick of instant ramen (and you will), get a rice cooker if you haven't already and fixings of your choice (soy sauce, nori, kimchi, spam, etc) to go along with it. Rice is super cheap and the cooker is perfect for dorm rooms.
It also depends on what flavor of ramen noodles you are using. I got a 5 pack from the 99 Cent Store of Nongshim Ramen Noodles that are beef flavor with seaweed. Personally the seaweed thing doesn't really bother me. I just add some green onions and carrots to liven up the soup and make it slightly more healthy.

As someone who always has dozens of Ramen on hand...I love this. Thanks Andrew! Rochester pride brother!!
Love this. I always go shin ramen, poach the egg with the noodles, drain the water and mix in packets, sesame oil, and fresh green onions.
my go-to ramen hack is just the noodles, and I add 1tbsp each tahini/sesame paste, soy sauce, black vinegar, and chili crisp to a bowl with a teaspoon or so of toasted sesame oil. Add the noodles and a few tablespoons of pasta water, top with scallions and toasted sesame seeds. I'll also add cooked veg or protein I've got handy. Save the chicken seasoning packets for adding to fried chicken breading.
That quonkatsu looks amazing! And the soft-boiled egg you added is perfectly cooked!
A way I reuse bacon grease is by making eggs and potatoes (you use leftover baked potatoes, brown them, then add egg. I personally put like, onion and garlic powder on them but I’m thinking about experimenting with real onion and garlic soon)
Surprisingly insightful and interesting video stemming from cheap ramen noodles. That last one looked devine. might try that one soon
My favorite in grad school was to throw out the seasoning packet, and sautee some minute steaks in soy sauce, chili, garlic, and ginger, and use those to top the plain noodles along with some sliced green onion and maybe a boiled egg.
Another tasty one is using curry powder and coconut milk. I then add shredded cooked chicken(rotiserie is great), cilantro, as well as cooked carrots, onions, bell peppers. It's delicious
Kimchi ramen with imitation crab sticks are one of my and my fiancée’s favourites when “elevating” instant ramen. My mother often makes pork and shrimp balls and freezes them. Also a great addition to instant ramen, especially since the balls absorb the broth incredibly well.
Currently stuck at home with covid. Definitely needed this.
I really appreciate the final hack. It's the purest and actually the healthiest. I'm going to try it for sure!
My go to is a lightly fried egg (faster than boiling, time is important!), chopped spring onion and grated cheese. Oh and chili flake. Fry egg while making ramen, add cheese and chili, break the egg yolk and stir the lot together before topping with the spring onion. Not pretty but quick and tasty so I'll take it :)
You just know I immediately went down to the kitchen to make some Ramen. Late at night.
would love to see a full series of food upgrades
This way of cooking ramen noodles works amazingly for every pasta I have tried. THANK YOU! I am never cooking pasta the old way again.
I love instant ramen. Stuff like this, which I do a lot, makes it a meal. Otherwise, to me at least, it's just a snack pack! It's a great way to use up leftovers, or if you grow some plants/herbs of your own - to use up 'trimmings' if your plants are 'overambitious'. I do find that one flavour pack each is generally not enough, so I usually add a teaspoon of a generic matching or complimentary soup base like mushroom or seafood. Possibilities are endless if you think of instant ramen as a base ingredient instead of the meal...same goes for things like Mac and Cheese...
Thanks for giving me an appetite for ramen. It's all I really have to eat right now.
My college go to ramen: Boil frozen vegies with the water, either add frozen meatball that matches the flavor of the soup packet or scramble eggs. Quick and no more clean up than plan ramen. If I feel a little fancy, I chop up some mushroom, a few leaves of random greens, and leftover meat from the night before. Adjust seasoning or soup base depending on how flavorful the leftover meat is.
I like the home kitchen feel in this video. Especially for this particular topic of budget meals
Oh, have I got news for you, Babs! I’ve been making some excellent dressed up ramen lately after I had a bunch of inspiration. Gochujang, kimchi, sesame oil, pickled onions, chicken thighs, cilantro, dill, Indian curry, roasted garlic paste, ginger, cumin-these are just some of the ingredients I use with my cooking, there’s others I just can’t think of them off the top of my head at the moment.

Keeping this as a reference for my next ramen cooking session!
Spicy Chili Crisp is the answer to almost every dish, I love the stuff! I always add it to instant ramen, but also to eggs, avocado toast, mix it with sour cream and serve with pierogies or quesadillas, you can not go wrong! I haven't met a savory dish that it doesn't improve.
My take on Ramen upgrades is to make it with whole milk, and add enough of every spicy thing in my cabinet that the additions equal about half of the seasoning packet

If you think I'm even touching a cutting board when it's ramen night, you've got another thing coming. Here's how you do l'assassina del rey. Heat plenty of olive oil in a pan, and add frozen pepper and onion mix before it gets to medium high. Add your dry block(s) of ramen. For every block, put one seasoning packet in a mug of water and microwave it until warm. Add the broth to the pan to halfway up the height of the ramen block and don't touch anything until you can hear it sizzle for a minute or so. Once the noodles look a little browned on the bottom, flip them and add broth again. Add smoked paprika, soy sauce, and mirin to taste, or whatever seasonings suit your fancy. Keep adding broth and frying until the noodles are soft and they and the vegetables gain a light char. Delicious, easy, truly one pan.
My upgrades are usually a glob of peanut butter, and maybe some of those frozen yet fully cooked chicken strips.
Dude… I would love to see you try some of the soul food from any of the African-American films (like the movie Soulfood). you never try to make anything like this.
Usually, I make two packs of ramen in four cups water, then use just one of the seasoning packets, plus whatever spices I'm feeling at the time. I find using the recommended ratio of seasoning to water is far too salty for my taste, so I don't really see much appeal to anything more concentrated. Most of the time, my spice choices resemble taco seasoning (cumin, lemon pepper, garlic, cayenne, cilantro, etc), but sometimes I go with a lot chili powder and a couple big spoonfuls of peanut butter.
I've been waiting for this video since basics started!! Finally!!
The tonkotsu i get from my neighborhood Ramen shop, their broth is pretty much of a nice rich consumé. It's silky, smooth, and no cream from anywhere
