Why the obsession with ramen? It's not nearly as fast or awesome as most people claim. You can get amazing ramen, but that mostly comes from Asia (and is not imported). In addition ramen is kind of devastatingly bad for you since it's just deep fried noodles and bouillon.
Consider this. In the same amount of time it takes to make ramen you could make:
- a microwaved hotdog or an egg
- heated up leftovers
- had those tiny microwave boxes of pad thai or such from Trader Joes? (if those things just came with a little packet of peanuts to sprinkle on them, they'd be perfect)
- heated up a can of soup (or a carton, I recommend Trader Joe's tomato or ginger/carrot)
- Make some tuna fish (I like it in this weird flax flatbread I can sometimes find)
- As mentioned, sandwiches are glorious
And my best bet for snacking/light meal:
A packet of chopped and skinned carrots, a tub of humous or cheese spread, a wedge of cheese and some bread. Takes about 30 seconds to prepare, heh.
Now I'm hungry, and must depart.
