A Quick & Tasty Ramen Recipe for the Starving College Student

In my freshmen year of college, life was full of tests and deciding whether or not I wanted ramen or Jimmy John's for dinner. And when you're a broke ass college kid, the only possible answer is either ramen, or getting a side job working the street corners to support your living that consists of all-nighters, paying for textbooks that you'll never need, and your obsessions of illegal things(whatever that may be).

I thought this would be my opportunity to help some people out there that may want to "fancy" up their ramen, eat something that doesn't taste like cardboard noodles with MSG's, or is looking for a new recipe to try out.

So if your tummy gets excited by looking at this, then keep reading!

You'll need:

A pan
A pot
1 diced onion
2 thinly sliced medium sized russet potatoes
2-3 chilis to add spice (this may be subbed w/chili powder or you can skip it)
3 sprinkles of basil, parsley, and chives
2 eggs
1/4 cup of minced garlic
3 tablespoons of oil
1/2 cup of water
2 packets of any flavored ramen


Steps:
1) Bring a pot, filled halfway with water, to a boil
2) While you wait, add the oil to the pan and set to medium heat
3) Add minced garlic and potatoes, stir occasionally
4) After about 2 minutes of stirring, add the onions
5) Allow them to simmer while you add JUST the ramen alone into the pot
6) Wait till the ramen is ready and then drain the pot
7) Add the ramen to the pan along with the 2 flavor packets
8) Add the water and stir thoroughly while raising the heat on the stove till it has evaporated
9) Add your chili, basil, parsley, and chives
10) Continue to stir thoroughly
11) Crack in the eggs and make sure to cook thoroughly
12) Enjoy!!! This typically serves 3-5 people

This is a super simple recipe, you can add different veggies like bell peppers or cilantro to spice things up; you can also add meats for that savory flavor

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading and as always take care!
