How to cook Ramen, with a POT:
Cooking Ramen with a pot consists of 7 easy steps, and I am being technical.
1. Use a decent-sized pot to cook your ramen in. This should be large enough to put the entire, unbroken ramen block into without having to break it. It should also be small enough so that two cups of water will completely cover the unbroken ramen block, and have a bit of water over it.
2. Pour two cups of water into the pot. You can substitute some other liquid for the water, such as soy sauce, or broth, but water will work as well.
3. Heat the pot. On most stoves, you should just turn the knob as high as it can go, and wait for the water to boil. On some, however, the stove will be too hot, and the pan will boil over. Experiment: if, during the cooking process, the pan starts to bubble over the top, just turn it down. Next time you make ramen, do not turn the stove on as high as it can go.
4. Add the ramen. At this point, the water should be at a full boil. Use a fork to push the block under the water if it is floating on the top. You can chose to break the block into chunks before adding it, if you prefer shorter, less slurp-able noodles, but it is a personal thing.
5. Stir well. If you want to even out the cooking process and speed it up by keeping uncooked stragglers from the surface, help stir apart the noodles.
6. Wait. Three minutes is the normal cooking time, it may take longer, though. When the noodles are starting to turn slightly yellow, they are done. At this point, the ramen should be completely broken apart, and, when you put your fork in the water, a few noodles attach themselves to your fork.
7.Add the flavor packet. Note that there is a very large amount of sodium in the small packet- if you have health problems, it would be better to add less, or none at all.
8. Stir well. At this point, you can do one of two things: you can pour the entire pot of ramen, including all of the liquid, into a bowl, and have a soup, or drain the water, and just eat the ramen.
