Within each packet of instant ramen lies near-instant possibility. Not only is it pretty darn tasty in its own right (and especially when dressed up with fridge and pantry staples like sriracha, sesame oil, and egg), but it's also a versatile jumping-off point for a variety of recipes. Keep reading for everything from ramen-crusted chicken wings to a ramen-noodle burger bun. Or make the easiest snack mix out there: simply break up the noodles, sprinkle on the seasoning packet (to taste), toss it all together, and snack.
