The first time I ever ate ramen I was about thirteen years old.  I was at a friend’s house and we were hungry and home alone.  When she broke out the ramen, I was baffled.  I had never cooked ramen, eaten ramen, or really paid any attention to it in the grocery store.

On top of the noodles, she grabbed a hotdog and cut it up.  She cooked the ramen in the microwave and heated the cut hotdog in a pan.  After the noodles were cooked she added the noodles to the pan and the flavor packet.  The first taste was exciting!  I had no idea that something so simple and so cheap could be so tasty!

People all over enjoy ramen noodles.  Unlike my family, most people grow up with the occasional ramen meal here and there.  Why El Paso?  Well, like I said about ramen earlier, it is simple and cheap.  You have got to love that combination.  That is probably why college students practically live off the stuff.

It is also low in calories, so if you were to eat only ramen recipes for a while you might find that you drop some weight.  Ramen is like a wonder meal, right?
