Not just like Top Ramen (boring!). There's SO MANY flavors at a good Asian market it'll blow your mind. The Samyang Cheesey Chicken (Korean) is pretty bomb, for one. Mama Brand (Thai) Creamy Shrimp, or Green Curry Flavor, are also great. Anyways, I just toss fresh veggies in the boiling water for a few mins ... broccoli, snow or snap peas, onion chunks ... then toss in the noodles and some cooked meat from fridge (or frozen cooked shrimp) at that time ... then 3-7 mins later depending on noodles, you got a fine meal. Top with some scallions and cilantro. Throwing in some cooked scramble egg at the end ain't bad either ...

When I was a kid I had one grandmother who made Kraft mac & cheese better than anyone else.

When I was a kid I used to make maple syrup sandwiches. The family thought I was nuts.
