I'm wondering if they could be used as cold pasta in say...a salad?  
Substitute cold leftover veggies and your favorite dressing for the seasoning 
 packet? 
Just a thought. Their main appeal to me is their quick cooking time  because 
eating, like sleeping, is most times regretted as a 'waste of time',  even 
though I know they're both necessary.

I don't  think anyone ever makes them as directed, do they?
I cook the noodles in  bowl with just enough water to cover the block.  2 
minutes in the  microwave. Then, I turn the block over, add seasoning, 
and cook an  additional minute.  Sometimes, I throw in whatever leftover 
veggies  and/or meat I have.
For the seasoning, I like crushed red peppers, Tony  Chacheri's Creole 
seasoning, thyme, garlic, and/or onion salt, depending  on my mood.
I rarely use the 'flavor packet', but I like all flavors except  the 
chickens...oriental and shrimp are the best, then beef, pork and  
chicken.  The absolute best thing though is to cook the noodles and  add 
any leftover stirfry anything..
I know there are books out there  dedicated just to ramen cooking.
Just looking for something different to  eat.
