Strange food combinations
DrewKaree:
Initial reaction before tasting - COMPLETE AND TOTAL MUSH. Perhaps 1/2" of water will suffice for most non-mush loving folks. Also, using the amount of water you say, shmokes, takes FOREVER and a day for the water to reduce.....I also threw in some olive oil to help with sticking, some basil and garlic in the beef Ramen.
More to come after tasting and eating - it's hot as all get out right now.
*More*
It DOES make it....not tastier, but kinda "concentrates" the flavor so that it's more noticeable....same flavor, but more of it.
If you do NOT like eating mush, do NOT use as much water as shmokes advocates. Try covering half the block, as when the water was about half gone, that's when they started to break up and become eatable as we all know 'em.
Knock yourself out with different seasonings doing it this way. Just like the seasoning packet flavor gets more intense, so too do the other seasonings you throw in there. I've got some roasted bell pepper & garlic seasoning I'm gonna try (along with FAR less water) in the next batch. The basil and garlic were dynamite, as well.
Make SURE when you follow the water instructions you're using a smaller frying pan, or reduce the water accordingly. I used an 8", but I'll give my 7" a try with half the water next time. Also, shmokes can testify whether or not I'll be correct, but I think if you DON'T put some form of oil/butter in there, the noodles may stick to the pan.
The residue left in there when cooking it like this would make a DYNAMITE screw-hole filler for your cab - thus bringing this thread full circle and back to relating to our hobby ;D

A regional "delicacy" up in these neck of the woods is called Poutine. Its really good but most people not in the know thinks it looks like puke.
Take some french-fries
Sprinkle em with cheese curds
Pour tasty brown-gravy over the lot
The gravy melts the cheese. Then you eat up all the gooey mess with a fork. Yummmmm Me!

I've had those before at Truett's Cafe in Atlanta, Georgia. That IS good, but unless someone at my table ordered it, I may have never tried it, as you ARE correct on the look!
