Let's post cheap ass comfort food recipes.
Himu's Ramen Noodles Recipe after living with two Chinese women for a few years
Ingredients:
- Ramen instant noodles packet (I use Maruchan). If you're really hungry use two.
- Spinach
- Your favorite canned vegetables (I like corn and kimchi)
- A big ass bowl
- Chopped chives
- soy sauce
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- Creole spice blend
- sriracha if you want kick
- garlic chili paste if you want extra kick
- One fried egg
Directions:
1. Get pan and a skillet.
2. Put ramen noodles in pan. Water level is important. If one ramen pack fill up water to cover only the first half of the ramen block where it starts to fold. Leave the rest dry. If cooking two, use enough water to cover an entire block and leave the second one sitting on top.
3. Turn pot with ramen and water to high till it boils. Cover for speed, uncover for slower speed.
4. Fry egg in skillet while ramen boils.
5. Once the bottom of the ramen block is soft and the water is boiling slightly flip the block over to cook the other side. Cut heat to medium.
6. While it cooks grab a handful or two of spinach. Cover and let it wilt.
7. By the time it wilts the water level should pretty small. Stir wilted spinach into ramen.
8. Get soy sauce and put it in the ramen. Make sure it's well coated but don't use too much. Stir so the ramen is coated in soy sauce. The noodles should now be a nice brown.
9. As the water evaporates the material from the noodles and the soy sauce will help create thicker sauce that's almost starch like. Think of when you cook potatoes, it's like that. It's delicious.
10. Add in chives, salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders, any other seasonings to your ramen which should now be stir frying.
11. Cut up the heat back to high to stir fry.
12. Stir for a minute or so and cut to simmer.
13. Take egg out of skillet and put it in your bowl.
14. Get skillet and heat up canned vegetables you'd like such as corn or kimchi that I like. Not cook, just heat.
15. Take egg out of bowl. Put noodles in bowl. It'll be a beautiful brown with a nice tasty starchy sauce. Put egg on top.
16. Put the side stuff like corn and kimchi off to the side. Should be a reasonable amount.
17. Get some sriracha or chili garlic paste and apply to ramen.
18. If you want it more soupy like traditional ramen use more water.
19. Bam.
Cheap as fuck, doesn't look the best but delicious.

Not mine but similar idea but he didn't stir fry it:
