They're a great, fast, cheap, versatile carb. Lightly sauté up your basic onion, celery, carrot, blend in the pot, maybe add some meat, add water and seasoning and bring to a boil. Add the brick of noodles and sink it, drop an egg or two on top of it and let it all simmer for 3-5 minutes depending on how well done you want the egg. Pour it in a bowl and add a big stripe of wasabi and a bit of soy sauce.
You can do much the same in a frying pan, parboiling the noodles then frying them.
They're just a simple, cheap, fast, noodle is all.
I've survived countless nights on Ramen.
