Hacking as it relates to computer was never a bad term until the media corrupted it. Cracking was the term used for illegal access to computers. Hacking was diving down inside a computer to make it better.

Big difference between real ramen noodles and the "heart attacks in a bag" stuff we have here. If you ever go to a real Japanese ramen restaurant you'll see the difference.

More importantly... How would you cook the ramen unless you getting the Goodfellas tteatmt?

Well,ive eaten ramen noodles in china and philippines and they really werent much different and the chinese are noodle kings. Go to a restaurant in China and see how many noodles they consume.

The difference is the broth and other ingredients. The stuff most of us are familiar with just have what is basically powdered bullion cubes. Though I think the stuff we get the noodles are fried before packaging. The noodles themselves are just wheat noodles.

We eat the same noodles in the packs in asia,,occasionally we add something else. Most noodles in Asia are rice noodles,rice is a must have in Asia. Thus the ultra high diabetes levels. Wheat in asia is known as mien,,hard to come by in asia.

To the chicken ramen, I like to add chunks of cooked chicken with chopped green onions and bell peppers. For the beef ramen, We will add some sliced deer/beef loin or roast deer/beef, basil, cherry tomato halves, and onions.

Just an FYI: talking about the "big house," Very few inmates actually use any or all of the season packet. They often steal stuff from food service and make their own seasonings and additions (the stuff they can't get on commissary). Common to see bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, chicken, fish, roast beast, & anything else they can lift. As for cooking it, at least in the Feds, they are provided with community hot water faucets, and industrial microwaves in the common areas of the units. Some state facilities allow vics to purchase hot pots. The real crafty ones make "stingers" for cooking food and brewing hooch.

GreenCounty Pete..... you forgot the great Johnny Cash lyric, "... you're the dirty hack that shot your woman down..."

West River.... Sorry, but how food looks on the plate does matter. Same as how a gal is dressed or if a gun is cleaned before you buy it. JMO.

Ramen noodles are great and easy when you're hungry, but they have about zero nutritional value compared to regular pasta. That said, I like mine cooked with some frozen peas and an egg thrown in at the last minute then all stirred up. Too much salt and MSG in the seasoning packet so I just put on some chili sauce.

yeah well I just can't hack the noodles any more I think it was apples making my numbers too high and I was trying to only eat one.

I keep getting the feeling I wasn't built for this century , body runs to "efficiently" if you eat the cereal grains you also need to be pushing a cart 50km a day of following a mule all day plowing or out howing corn all day or something where you work it off.

shame the American heart association has been pushing cereal grains for so long , but it keeps them in business I guess.

Depending on the institution you can have a hot pot in your cell, cafeteria or day room will have microwaves. Some just let the noodles soak to soften and then eat them cold.

I picked up a few packs (beef and chilli) last night and now plan on having one for lunch. Here's to our sodium intake and blood pressure fellas!

Yep wolfdog caused me to make ramen for supper last night, lol.

These Roman noodles are something I've never eaten. My wife makes them for herself I think ( orange package and stinks when she boils them?) So some day I'm gonna have to try them.

Just had some for lunch.

You're not really missing anything. Just a simple cheap ($0.15) meal with simple flavor and easy to add fixings.

Lol a year in culinary arts , a deployment of helping out cooks and six years of eating mil spec food that looks like dog food And a life time if cooking for picky people I've gained a love for a nice looking plate of food. Got alot of my extended family to eat wild game because it was plated nicely, they point blank said may time a they wouldn't have tried it if it didn't look the way it did.

Decided to go fancy ramen...beef bone broth, red curry, chives and coconut milk

wolfie- you could probably sell the photo! Nice presentation but the eggs are little too runny for me...

Redneck Pad Thai...
Boil ramen. Add seasoning packet. Add crushed red pepper. Add big scoop of peanut butter and a raw egg, then stir it all up.

Kinda what I thought by looking at what the wife eats.
