]]> There are some foods that will always be satisfying, no matter what time of the day or night you indulge. Ramen is definitely in that category. Cheap and cheerful, the noodles are a pantry staple that are often the quickest (and yummiest) thing to make after a night out or when you’re too lazy to cook.

It has become a trend to eat super spicy ramen ever since the Korean Fire Noodle Challenge went viral a few years ago. If you like your ramen hot, but not mouth-burning, these tips will help you enjoy just the right amount of spice.

Got Milk?

Although it seems like water is the best thing to have after eating something super spicy, milk will do a far better job of soothing your palate. Adding around ½ cup of milk to the drained noodles will go a long way in tempering the heat.

Half is Healthy

Dynamite comes in small packages. Remember that when adding the little packet of sauce to your ramen. Only use half. You can always add more later if you want a stronger kick.

Cherry on Top

We’re not suggesting that you add cherries to your noodles, but feel free to get creative with the toppings! Sausages, mushrooms, and cheese are all excellent options.

]]> Instant ramen is a college student’s bread and butter. But whether you’re out of school and on a budget or don’t have to time or energy to cook after a long day at work, instant ramen is a very real option for many people. If you want to bump up your instant ramen but are still on a budget, there are some very easy ways to update your bowl.

5 Minute Egg

A 5-minute egg is just as it sounds; an egg you boil for 5 minutes. Just bring your water to a boil, slowly put in an egg, cook for 5 minutes and put it in an ice bath. The yolk will be runny and perfect for your ramen!

Scallions

Green onions are really common in ramen culture, so just slice up a small stalk and add in big flavor.

Frozen Vegetables

If you’re on a budget, buying frozen vegetables is a better alternative to fresh. Things like peas and carrots defrost quickly and add flavor and health benefits.

Acid

Adding a bit of acid to the broth of the ramen will cut through the fattiness of the liquid and brighten the whole bowl. You can do this with any type of vinegar or lime juice.
