 adding salt to the water makes your noodles and rice taste better. I wonder if
 the same is true if you boil it for longer than necessary, to reduce the H2O
 component and increase the amount of leftover salts and minerals?

 lentils are easier to cook than beans and are nutritionally very similar.
 Heck, I just throw them in with the rice in the rice-cooker and it works out
 great.

 I'm vegetarian, but this reminded me that I could just put bouillon in boiling
 water and drink that xD

 dry ramen is not the same as dried ramen. For dry ramen I strain the noodles
 and add the seasoning with butter. Wet ramen is similar minus the butter and
 plus noodle water.

 cheap~! why would you not make like four packages

 if you're cooking, and you want a specific ingredient to have a stronger
 flavor, use more of it.

 picture this: ramen noodles, but there's more of them, and they aren't bad for
 you. They taste slightly less salty.

 store these past few months except for like once or twice?

 the broth they sell at the store is way too thin. boullion is much better
 because it's so concentrated. think of it as "essence of X" when you have
 "broth of vegetables" or "broth of carrots and onions" or whatever... can help
 make it easier to cook something decent by using general flavors

 Boil the rice.
 
 when it is finished and hot, add a lot of butter and stir it in.
 
 when done add cinnamon and stir it in.
 
 then add raisins if wanted.
 
 then milk to taste.
 
 add sugar if desired.

 "better than boullion" is a great way to turn flavorless broth into something
 tasty.
 
 heck you could just use boullion, but "better than boullion" is better.
 
 Just don't use broth. Takes up too much space.

 I'm just now realizing that my favorite ramen seasoning is essentially salt,
 MSG, and a fuckload of smoked paprika. I don't know how to feel about that.

 @user-192 
 
 Good point it's sooooooo salty
 
 I have fond memories of eating a spoonful of that instead of making food back
 in college because... hey, it's got vegetables in it, right?
 
 turns out it's mostly just salt with flavor

 I didn't think about this until finishing the last sandwich, but a dash of
 instant coffee can be a nice invigoration spell. Might make the PB&J taste
 a bit funky, but I already put hemp hearts and nutritional yeast in them so
 nobody's gonna eat them unless they trust me.
