How to Make Ramen Noodles

Ramen is an inexpensive, delicious meal that can be prepared in less than five minutes. Although many people use it as a topping for other things, such as chicken salads, or even normal salads, there are few things better than the classic ramen.
Other kinds of instant noodles can be made in about the same way as ramen.
-Use a decent-sized pot to cook your ramen in. This should be large enough to put the entire, unbroken ramen block into without having to break it. It should also be small enough so that two cups of water will completely cover the unbroken ramen block, and have a bit of water over it.
-Pour two cups of water into the pot. You can substitute some other liquid for the water, such as soy sauce, or broth, but water will work as well.
-Heat the pot. On most stoves, you should just turn the knob as high as it can go, and wait for the water to boil. On some, however, the stove will be too hot, and the pan will boil over. Experiment: if, during the cooking process, the pan starts to bubble over the top, just turn it down. Next time you make ramen, do not turn the stove on as high as it can go.
-Add the ramen. At this point, the water should be at a full boil. Use a fork to push the block under the water if it is floating on the top. You can chose to break the block into chunks before adding it, if you prefer shorter, less slurp-able noodles, but it is a personal thing.
