btw, these ramen ideas are pretty keen.
although similar things can be done with regular Barilla pasta (ONLY Barilla will do- it's the KING of store bought dry pasta).
When I was in college, we'd eat the ramen dry, mostly because we were too lazy to go get water, heat it in the microwave at the end of the hall, and carry it all the way back without spilling. Very crunchy! My roommate would eat the flavoring packet dry too. That's where I drew the line.
