The trick to making
really good Ramen it to use as little water as possible and
put a cover on the container. That way the
steam cooks the
noodles and you can avoid the messy
broth.
When you cook them this way you only have to use about a quarter to half of the flavoring packet, which is nice, because it cuts down on the saltiness of the noodles and makes them generally healthier.
Another perk to cooking them this way is, if you have a favorite flavor of Ramen (say, Shrimp), and the store is all out of that kind, but you have a whole bunch of half-full(or half-empty) flavor packets at home, you can put that in with the noodles from any packet and have your Shrimp-flavored Ramen.
Good luck, and enjoy!
