ramen noodles
Budget dorm staple
Ramen noodles are thin wheat noodles served in broth, originally from Japan.
The dish typically includes toppings like sliced pork, soft-boiled egg, and green onions.
In everyday American usage, ramen often means instant ramen—the cheap, packaged variety with a flavor packet, a staple of college students and tight budgets: I lived on ramen noodles for a month.
