Ramen noodles have been everywhere. Becoming anything from an impromptu taco shell and substitute pizza crust, to a burger bun and hoagie roll.
But never have the ubiquitous noodles been able to cover the entire span of our most formative years, as it does with Ramen Chicken Nuggets.
Brought to us by Oh, Bite It!, the nostalgic food mash-up is easy enough to do yourself. Regardless of how broke or still clinging to college life you might be.

Simply adding hot water to inexpensive noodles for lunch is so last year. Ramen is now being used for anything from burger buns to taco shells, and it’s now found a way to make chicken wings even more awesome.
Brought to us by San Francisco-based Hot Sauce and Panko, the noodles add some crunch and cool-factor to chicken parts. Check out their entire menu, as Ramen Wings are only part of the culinary genius going on over there.

Ramen has already been replacing buns, pizza crusts and taco shells. Now, the budget noodles will house your cheesesteak, or any other hoagie-like fare.
Brought to us by Grub Street, How To Make A Ramen Hoagie Roll shows us a simple technique and recipe for getting ramen into a large tubular form, which eventually makes for a nice crunchy bun. Let the Cheez Whiz flow.
We’ve all had a heaping bowl of noodles. But unless you’ve been to Kyoto-based, Tawaraya, you have probably never had a bowl of noodle.
The noodle shop makes this one particular form of udon where, rather than a series of noodles intermingling in a pool of broth, Tawaraya fills the bowl with one long continuous noodle. Good luck trying to slurp that thing.

The Ramen Taco is brought to us by The Vulgar Chef. No longer are the instant noodles just reserved for nourishing broke co-eds and acting as a bun on hipster hamburgers.
Making one for yourself appears to be as simple as finding a taco shell form, placing the noodles in and baking them. Invite some hipster co-eds over and have the best taco party ever.
