Ramen Noodles

You know the $0.10 noodles you get.

Ok the directions say to use 2 cups of boiling water: WRONG

Now in a real life situation you would want to conserve as much water as possible, heres how.

Take 1 cup water in canteen cup, bring to a boil.

**NOTE: It took 7 1/2 mins for mine to boil using my alchy stove from a sterno can. For 2 cups it only takes 9 mins COVERED or not SAME time. For the salt MYTH it took 11 mins to boil 2 cups with 1 TSP salt added.

Take canteen cover and put your noodles and flavor in it then your boiling water, cover with cup and in 2 mins STIR, wait 3 more mins and Walla you got noodles with 1 cup water not 2.

Huh, good idea.

I still need a damned canteen. I went to the local A/N the other day. Well, I tried to - it's closed down, since I don't know when. It was a nice place, a true surplus store. I loved the stuff I found in there. Alas, it's gone, so now I have to make a 20 mile trip to the closest A/N store, Army Barracks. Not true surplus, most of it, but good stuff nonetheless.

That picture now explains an unclear part of your instructions you posted. You are using a GERMAN canteen! See, to folks who use US gear, the "canteen carrier" is the cloth part that clips onto your belt. I couldn't figure out WHY you were putting the ramen in the cloth part and pouring water over/thru it!! NOW I understand.

BTW - I have started using German webgear and have my US canteens stuffed into German canteen-carriers. With a price like that, I might upgrade! Thanks for the link.

i've always used one cup of water per pack of noodles. i simply crush the noodles and put them in the water, then bring it to a boil. by the time it boils they're ready.

yeah, the whole 'put them in the canteen cover' part threw me too. :lol:

i was thinking that, even if it worked, it'd taste like crap! :shock:

thanks for the link ocala, i'll have to check that site out.

Try Sportsman's guide
or
Major surplus

both have good deals on canteens.
