What is a struggle meal you actually like? (a struggle meal can be a cheap meal when finances are tight, or a low effort meal when you have no energy)

This is going to be a very quick and easy response tonight!

I like to keep a handful of packets of ramen in the cupboard for just these occasions. The only two flavors I regularly seek out? Pork and Soy (the blue packets previously known as Oriental, I believe) because I’ve never been fond of any of the others. Well, that, and I grew up with the standard chicken and beef ones, in both brick and cup form. I’ve tried some of the others and liked some of them well enough, but not to the degree that I could eat them several times a week if it really came down to it.

Also, in recent years, I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy real ramen from restaurants that specialize in it, and oftentimes the broth makes me think of much better versions of the cheap stuff from the grocery store.

I’ve also learned and been inspired to jazz up my ramen with eggs (fried and soft boiled) and other things, so that it’s got more than just noodles and salty broth.

Ramen definitely meets the criteria for me on this. And that reminds me, I need to add it to my grocery list.
