Are you a cheap bastard with expensive taste? Are you sick of dull, boring ramen and canned soup? Is your hot pocket habit causing you to leave blood stains in your underwear?

Well, then, try DeathBrewer's Epic Ramen™!

1. Buy the Shrimp Ramen and stick the noodles in a saucepan.

2. Add frozen, cooked shrimp.

3. Add frozen mixed vegetables (or fresh.)

4. Add frozen onions (or fresh.)

5. Add cold water over everything until the noodles float a bit.

6. Set to high and let it come to a boil while flipping the noodles around a few times.

7. Remove from heat once the noodles have the consistency you want.

8. Mix in ramen spices, stir and pour into a big bowl.

9. Add Sriracha hot sauce to preference. (I usually add about 8 or so drops across the top...it looks fancy!)

Fills you up, tastes great and is one of the cheapest meals available. Well, unless you add too much shrimp.

Is this "DB Epic Ramen", or the "Suggested Serving" from the back of the package Chef DB ?

NICE! I'm all for doctoring up the Ramen. Take it from the dorm room to the penthouse with only a few simple additions.

lol...I don't know...I've never looked at the package...does it make suggestions like this? My roommate actually got me to start adding vegetables and it evolved from there.

Thought I'd share.

Sriracha makes almost anything edible.

I used to add a lot more Sriracha, but I eat it with a fork. Drinking the hot soup was making me cough and spray ramen wetness all over my desk.

I have this book at home, there are a ton of good recipes in it, well worth looking into, and the price for the book is not crazy either, I got mine at Barnes and Noble on the discount/returned rack for 5 bucks!

What other examples does it have in there?

Used to use Chicken Flavored Ramen as a start for easy chicken noodle soup.

Toss chicken ramen, can of chicken breast (looks like a big tuna can) some chopped carrots and a bit of celery and cook until noodles are ready.

Little pepper and you're good to go.

Try adding miso paste and some hondashi, along with some 1/4" thick slices of daikon.

If you have chashu pork, well that just goes without saying.

My wife likes to add bean sprouts. I'm ambivalent about them.

I think I swore to myself I'd never let it leave the dorm room. I just got sooooooo sick of it in college. Ramen noodles, baloney sammiches, and Stove Top stuffing, ad infinitum and add nauseum. Now they're almost like comfort food.

I'm ambivalent about bean sprouts but they're not ambivalent about me.
