Rice Cooker: Gourmet Instant Noodles

So many of you must be familiar or heard of a rice cooker. Many of you might also have it lying around your house, but many of you might not know the awesome use a rice cooker could provide you. Well don't worry I'm here to turn that bland college food into something great,let's get started!

What you'll need for this recipe:
yield: 1 serving
time: 5-10 mins

2-3 1/2 c. Warm-hot water
1 pkg. Choice of instant noodle/ramen
1 Rice cooker
1 bowl

(Optional):
1 can Vienna sausage
1 egg

Prepare(original rice cooker with keep warm/ cook option):

In the rice cooker add the water and close the lid. Than flip the switch so that it is on the cook setting. Wait a minute or two then open the lid to see if it is boiling. Once the water boils add the contents of the package into the rice cooker. Add the can of vienna sausages then close the lid. Wait another minute till the noodle starts to cook. Open the lid and taste if noodle is cooked to the consistency that you like. Once it's done add the eggs and let it cook for another minute. Once it's finished cooking unplug the rice cooker. Now transfer the noodles into a bowl and serve.

Prepare( rice cooker with different settings for different types of rice):

In the rice cooker add the water and close the lid. Then make sure you press the cook button. Wait a minute or two then open the lid to see if it is boiling. Once the water boils add the contents of the package into the rice cooker. Add the can of vienna sausages then close the lid. Wait another minute till the noodle starts to cook. Open the lid and taste if noodle is cooked to the consistency that you like. Once it's done add the eggs and let it cook for another minute. Once it's finished cooking press cancel and unplug the rice cooker. Now transfer the noodles into a bowl and serve.

If you don't like vienna sausage you can also use spam, but it would have to be cut up to cook easier.
I hope you enjoy this post!

Until another blog.

  1. I've searched for how to cook noodles with rice cooker and this blog pops up on top.. and what do you know it works like a charm :D

    Your directions are relative simple and easy to understand, but you might consider couple of more things. For example; the hot water in my dorm is not clean, and for that reason I have to take cold water and wait for 10 minutes for the water to cook. Also I'm having a small rice cooker that have the capacity only to cook about 600 ml of water.

    But your blog is really useful for college students stuck on budgets or newcomers. So, thanks again for the info! :D

  2. yay! happy to help :]

    Sorry I forgot about that, but most people brought their coffe machines or water boiler things so that's where I get my source of clean hot water or the brita filter things.

    But i'm glad you found it helpful :]
