FOLKS ON A BUDGET, college students, people with limited cooking skills… we’ve all found cause to eat packaged ramen at one time or another. These economic noodle packets keep forever and are a cinch to throw together. For this issue, we decided to ramp up our packaged ramen by adding in a few simple ingredients. We suggest you cruise the grocery store aisles for new brands and flavors- you may be surprised at the new types of noodles, too.

Spinach or any greens • Dried Shiitake mushrooms
Furikake • Eggs • Curry paste • Firm boxed tofu
Red chili flakes • Gochujan • Fried sliced onions • Dried shrimp
