Real ramen is the work of angels. Instant ramen has varying levels of food-ness. If you're looking for calories via carbs and fat, and you want it with a sidecar of salt, the 25¢ per packet jobbers at the grocery store are the ticket. The more expensive ones at specialty grocers, $2+ each, can be quite tasty. Sometimes they're still loaded with fat, sometimes not (with cheap ramen, the noodles are cooked and "dried" in oil).
