carolime's perfect instant ramen noodles

i was making ramen last fall and came up with this on accident. it's now my default noodle-making method! this recipe is perfect if you like your instant noodles broth-less, like i do. this is just a base recipe, too. you can add on your preferred ramen fixins if you like. i personally recommend sauteed tofu and green onions. 

ingredients:

>any instant ramen noodle packet (my go-tos: top ramen soy sauce flavor + maruchan chicken flavor)
>2 tbsp soy sauce 
>1/8 tsp sesame oil
>2 tsp msg/umami powder (i use trader joe's mushroom & co umami powder)

directions:
  1. boil ramen noodles over stove in small saucepan until just cooked. turn off burner. drain, but leave about 1/3 cup of water in the pan.
  2. return pan to still-warm burner. add umami powder and about half of the flavor packet to the noodles. stir well.
  3. keep stirring and add sesame oil and soy sauce. stir and keep on warm burner until noodles are tender and sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. 
  4. plate, serve, enjoy!
im thinking about workshopping this a little more in my free time. i'm wondering how it would work out if added to a homemade vegetable broth for cold days or sick days.
have a great week! :)
