In my ramen days, I always added an egg as well. Instant egg drop soup! I also made cold noodle salad with the stuff, dolled up with a can of tuna.

I SO regret not going to the Ramen Museum when I was in Tokyo, it’s supposed to be one of the coolest shrines to all things ramen.

I enjoyed Mr. Downes’s piece, also. I don’t buy the dried ramen, anymore, though. I stock up on the fresh kind whenever I’m at the Japanese store–it’s healthier and almost as easy to make (seasoning packet and all!). It’s pricier, of course, but by no means expensive. . .

I have a couple of Japanese-American church cookbooks from California and they include ramen salads, in which you crumble the uncooked dried noodles, mix them with cabbage and other veggies, and toss the whole thing with a rice-vinegar dressing. It’s actually really good!
