The trick is to boil the noodles first, then pour most of the water out leaving only a little bit of water in the bottom to keep the noodles moist, THEN add the seasoning packet.

It's a blast of flavor sensation.

One of my brothers likes to put drained Ramen with cheese & salsa in a tortilla to make a kind of Raman burrito... :puke:

I do the same.

I actually enjoy the broth moreso than the actual noodles at times. (usually in the winter when it's cold as a well-digger's ass)

Ditto, and I add a good teaspoon or so of sambal oleck chili paste and mix it into the broth so it's nice and spicy.

crackers are good too

Ritz crackers have a good buttery taste for soups.

town house are better than ritz. ritz are too buttery and I do not like that much salt/butter on my fingers for a cracker. to me, a cracker should just be "dusted off" or I can slap my hands together and they're clean. so many types of breaded treats but they don't always work with anything. my new favorite edible utensil are the bagel chips! that you get hummus with...mmm.

May I suggest pita chips? They hold their crunch better in watery soup like ramen, are light and crisp, and have a nice toastiness, rather than being buttery. I don't like buttery anything with soup. It ruins the texture for me ><

Depends on the soup. For New England Clam Chowder, I want either those oyster crackers or plain saltines. For Chicken Noodle (especially homemade or the more upscale canned varieties with veggies, etc.), Ritz are perfect. For ramen, I never use crackers, since I've got the ramen noodles.
