3 ways to hack ramen

A taste for ramen

We're all familiar with the allure of instant noodles; they're inexpensive, quick to make and tasty (that might be the salt though). Confession time: ramen was my go-to meal in college when I was too lazy to leave my dorm room — thank God for electric kettles! These days, my palate is more discerning — so while I still crave ramen once in a while, I'm adding more protein and vegetables into the mix to satisfy my more refined tastes.  Read on to find three ways we use ramen, and how you can incorporate them into your meals. (P.S. You don't always have to use it in a soup!)
