Lunch for the Lazy

Ever had one of those days where you just didn't feel like putting in the effort to create something good/delicious/semi-healthy? I get that feeling every once in awhile and it's so easy for college students and grads alike to reach for the packet of Ramen and call it good.

My mom suggested an upgraded version of these inexpensive noodles and my, is it tasty!

Fancy Ramen [enter alternate witty recipe name here]

1. Combine julienne carrots, spinach leaves, green onions, and mushrooms (as much as you like!) into a large soup bowl
2. Take any flavor of Ramen you might have on hand and lay noodles on top of veggies. I used oriental flavor but any flavor is fine.
3. Add boiling water to the bowl and cover for about 3-4 minutes or until noodles are soft. I put a dinner plate over the top of the bowl and that seems to do the trick.
4. Add the Ramen flavor that came with the noodles. Add 1-2 tbs. of soy sauce and if you like it spicy, add 1/2-1 tsp. of red chile sauce.

The poor woman's (man's/girl's/it's) version of quality Ramen. Enjoy!
