Welll, usually I use minimal to no water. The only problem with that is that it gets cold easy, as well as dry. You have to chow it down fast before that happens. I make it that way because there's so much flavor that way. I feel like when I make it like a soup it seems like the noodles just take like nothing. Today I made it soupy but used two packets instead of one. It was pretty good, but I wasted a whole package of noodles. ._.

I don't really like the flavor packets, they hurt my tummy. Plus, they're not very good for you. I usually steam some veggies or put some tomato sauce and sprinkles of cheese over the noodles, no water. Is delicious. I loves ramen. Dinner for two for under $1.00 - Container of ramen and packet of Kool Aid.

I put the water up to just covering the noodles, but i add lots of Adobo to the cup before putting in water as well. <3

Pssst....
Instant Ramen's soup powder contains all sorts of chemicals and a high percentage of MSG (which can in fact be neurotoxic to those with symptoms against it, and is linked to obesity), and you really shouldn't be using 2 packages of it in one meal. That's also why you shouldn't drink the leftover broth.
I don't eat instant ramen, but of course being my neurotic self I always have to warn others against it.. After all, if the food costs 69 cents to buy, how much do you think it takes to manufacture?

What's ramen? Like pot noodle? It's japanese noodles, that you just have to boil and add chemical power to, costs 69 cents (around .48 pounds over there I believe?) and is real easy to make... Well it also depends on the brand, all of them obviously contain many chemicals (they are mass-produced as powder after all), Maruchan is the worst in my opinion. It's alright to eat in moderation, maybe 1-2 a month at the most? Many foods nowadays contain so many chems and MSG, and this is no different, but eating 2 packages of the powder at the same meal is generally not good for your health.

There are far worse things in life than having an extra packet. For those who enjoy not eating those things, it's their choice, but there is no need to point out how "bad" something is for someone. I highly doubt it'll make you keel over unless you consume like 30 packages of ramen in one day..and by package, I mean the big ol box that comes with about 10 or so little packages. All things in moderation, be they "bad" or "good" are fine. As for me, I make mine with little to no water, just enough to make them soft and then I drain it off.

I make mine with a decent amount water(about three or four cups.) and put some of my own spices in it, and cook the noodles until soft, then I add the flavoring. ;3

I adore noodles but I never use packeted ones. Some vermecelli noodles, oxo cubes, chicken and chillies and lime juice make for a very delicious and healthy, spicy meal ^_^

I don't like too much water on mine. But I still like the noodles to be moist.

Hmm..
I set mine on fire.
Seriously. Once I accidentally set the microwave on 22 mins and left the house to go look at kittens and my dad came out and said, "Come in here! D<"
It was black and smoky and shriveled.
I've sort of avoided it since. ):
