Ramen doesn't have to remind you of dorm rooms......

When I say "ramen" do you think of the .24 cent brittle, salty bricks that would probably survive an atom bomb?
Fresh ramen is actually amazing and doesn't even resemble the bastardized brother college students everywhere have come to know (and in most cases, loathe).
So, here is another simple dinner for you and it can feed more than a few. It's cheap, easy and fresh....fancy ramen done right.
If you have an asian market (we have the Japanese chain, Mitsuwa) near you, head there.  Everything is much cheaper than in your local grocery store.  If not, most items can be found at your grocery store.

Buy:
miso paste  (it's in a tub like sour cream)
Any kind of Asian refrigerated noodle, Soba, Udon, Ramen.....not the dried stuff.

shitake mushrooms
green onions
tofu
eggs (for hard boiling)
thinly sliced beef or pork (readily available in asian markets)
bok choy (chopped, use the greens and the white stems)







Now:
Boil a big pot of water and hardboil a few eggs
when done and removed,
add the miso paste ( a few heaping tablespoons)
noodles usually come with a "flavor packet"  use this as well if you want.
Add the de shelled, hard boiled eggs Add mushrooms and tofu
Add noodles (they usually only need about 3 minutes to cook)

Add  chopped green onions and meat (meat will cook in seconds)
For heat, add a douse or two of  asian hot sauce, Siracha
