Living in a dorm can limit space and eating options. There are the dining centers and of course the various eating places around Ames, but sometimes it’s nice to make something quick with just the microwave and mini-fridge. At a low cost, Ramen Noodles often make for a good solution.

Here are a couple ways to make Ramen just a little better:
