Even though this is off topic for the list I thought you might be
interested. While rereading my friend's AT thruhike book, "Walkin' on the
Happy Side of Misery" by JR Tate "Model T AT" he tells a story about Ramen.
I did a web search on Ramen and found "The Official Ramen Website"
http://mattfischer.com/ramen/ and the recipe below.  It will be fun
experimenting with this recipe.

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
4 eggs
salt
1 T. water
Oil for frying

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add
the eggs and water. Combine until it comes together to form a nice pasta
dough. Let rest 30 minutes, and then roll through pasta machine with an
angel hair attachment. Twirl your desired amount in a nest. (I know the REAL
ramen is square, but the nest is easier to do)Let your nests dry for a
couple hours, then deep fry for 3 minutes on each side. Let cool. Boil in
salted water until tender. (Since this is fresh ramen without any
preservatives, store in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for 3 months)

Note:

I am a culinary arts major at Johnson and Wales University. I love to cook,
and whenever possible I make all my own ingredients from scratch
