I live in California, USA. One of my favorite foods and my 2 year olds sons one favorite food is Ramen noodles. I like mine on the spicy side so usually get Nissin Top Ramen spicy chile chicken flavor it smells kind of funky when you first make it but once you taste it youll like it if you like a bit of heat. my husband and sons favorite is Maruchan Ramen Roast beef or regular beef flavor. Any way you eat them, ramen is great for a lunch or dinner. If you want it for dinner, just add some of last nights leftovers; steak or chicken or pork, shrimp, et cetera. and a bunch of veggies. I buy those frozen peas or peas/carrots or similar and when my noodles are done, I put some frozen peas in my bowl and pour the season packet on and then the slightly drained noodles over and stir, cools it down just enough to eat and taste great.
