ramen cups
Just-add-water lunch
Ramen cups are instant noodle servings sold in disposable cups or foam containers, designed to be prepared by adding hot water directly to the cup.
The format eliminates the need for a separate bowl or pot: I lived on ramen cups in college, There's a ramen cup in my desk drawer for emergencies.
The term sometimes appears as cup ramen or cup noodles.
Ramen cups are associated with convenience, tight budgets, and late-night snacking.
