By ramen do you mean just regular pasta? Cause I’m not familiar with ramen so I had to Google it and you can’t possibly be talking about the ramen I saw there.
This is what I was talking about. $0.25 per package but no nutritional value and full of sodium. It can be dressed up pretty easy or be a cheap meal in a pinch, but it shouldn’t be eaten every day like some (college) kids recommend.
Most of the nice ramen are just the packaging and maybe some freeze dried veg. Get the cheap stuff. You can cut the seasoning packet down if you want to reduce sodium and add diy ingredients to make a far better bowl. egg for protein- carrots, mushrooms, spinach etc for variety. It’s a good quick source of carbs and can be very diverse as far as a meal goes.
I’ve had several fancy ramen packs that were around $7 vs the usual $0.25. I agree they are not worth the price difference if you’re looking for value.
That said, most of them are much better than the cheap ramen packs. They’re worth trying some other time when calories per dollar is not the priority.
The YouTube channel That Dude Can Cook has videos showing other things you can pre-make to add to cheap ramen if time is not an issue. His noodles look way better than anything that just comes from a ramen pack.
They’re talking about something like top ramen, a very low quality dehydrated shadow of real ramen. It’s just a packet of noodles and a bag of seasoning. It’s pure carbs and not very nutritious, but you could get it for like $0.07 a meal (who knows these days though)
There’s also good instant ramen, which ranges from $1-$5ish, and is much closer in taste to the real thing. It’s not super healthy either, but you might get some dehydrated vegetables, meat, and/or oil to go with the spices

Cheap instant ramen, not the nice bowls of ramen.
The stuff that’s $.25 per package.

There’s the chubbyemu video on ramen
Oh, ok, that makes sense. Those bowls of ramen sure don’t look cheap.
