JagWire reviews ingredients to add into instant ramen noodles

As seniors prepare for tight budgets in college, two reporters review suggestions for ingredients to add into instant ramen noodles

May 14, 2015

To break the monotony that can come from a ramen noodle diet in college, check out these reviews of ingredients to add into instant ramen noodles. Just cook the noodles in water with no flavor powder and add the ingredients according to directions (listed below ingredient names).


 

Peanut Butter

> Insert two tablespoons before cooking

Raven’s take: Do not put the peanut butter in after the Ramen is cooked; put it during the cooking process so it can melt. I honestly would probably get bored of it after two spoonfuls of this concoction.

Lizzie’s take: I went into this with low expectations but it shocked me. It was actually pretty tasty, and I don’t even like peanut butter that much. Overall, it was a little salty, but still good.

 

Cheese (Kraft Singles)

> Insert four slices before cooking

Raven’s take: Four slices of cheese is recommended for the best results. This was fire; it taste like actual macaroni and cheese and looks like it too. I would definitely eat this daily. It is a cheap substitute for homemade macaroni and cheese. Five stars all the way. For those that like spicy things, try it with hot sauce.

Lizzie’s take: If you’re poor and hungry, like most college kids, you should definitely give this a go. It tastes similar to macaroni and cheese, but not as creamy.

 

BBQ Sauce

> Insert three to four tablespoons after cooking

Raven’s take: The taste of the barbecue is extremely faint. For more flavor, I would add a ton of sauce. This was a little better than the peanut butter, but still not my favorite. I can see myself eating this at some point next year.

Lizzie’s take: This is absolutely disgusting. All it is is diluted barbecue sauce. I hope to never see or eat it again in my life.

 

Taco Seasoning

> Insert 1/4 packet after cooking

Raven’s take: This does not make my stomach hurt, so that is a bonus. It is not a terrible idea. I would throw some hamburger meat in it. Then it will taste just like Hamburger Helper.

Lizzie’s take: Yet another disappointment. If you really enjoy Mexican food you might like this but personally, it just upset my stomach.

 

Hot Sauce

> Insert two tablespoons after cooking

Raven’s take: Not bad, but would not be my first choice. It literally tastes like spicy noodles.

Lizzie’s take: It smells awful and tastes terrible too. I usually love spice but this is a disaster and it’s not even very hot. It’s spiced watered down sadness.
