101 Things to Do With Ramen Noodles is a book that was suggested to Captain ILL by a groovy friend so he ILLed it for himself. Righting Wrongs and ILLing are a very hungry businesses, and don't pay well as a general rule. So a book full of Ramen recipes is a godsend for the Captain since the average cost of a package of noodles is around 10 cents. Unfortunately, many of the recipes call for expensive ingredients like pork chops, cooked shrimp, or hot dogs. What's the point of eating a 10 cent package of noodles if you have to spend ten or twenty times that in additional ingredients? Aside from that caveat, this is a pretty nifty book. Here is a sample:Pizza Pasta:
2 packages ramen noodles
2 to 3 cups spaghetti sauce
20 to 25 pepperoni slices, halved
3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook noodles in water according to package directions and drain.
In a saucepan, combine sauce, pepperoni, pepper, and cheddar cheese. Stir constantly until cheese is melted.
Place noodles in a lightly greased 8x8 inch pan. Pour sauce mixture over top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Makes 2-4 servings.
Sure it sounds disgusting, but how can you go wrong with pizza?

If the expensive ingredients deter you from making the most of your ramen noodles, you could always try Possum Ramen. Generally, driving along a rural highway after dark is a sure bet you'll find your entree.
You keep posting books that I actually own, namely this and the Bootlegger's Bible...
Mmmm...Possum Ramen. Next potluck, I want to see that on the menu. Dare ya. Wait, I take that back.
to go along with this book, and the expenses, maybe this bowl would help.
