Riddle

Here is a riddle of sorts.

The answer is:

Boil in two cups of water for 3 minutes.


What's the question?


(PS: It is completely off topic, and college students may have an advantage in this one)

First person to get this correct earns my undying respect.

Wow - the riddle was found, read, and answered correctly in less than an hour!

You got it.

The classic directions for how to prepare ramen noodles.

I will need to make next time's riddle tougher.

I was just making a bite to eat and wondered how many other people memorized those same directions.

damn, guess I was never poor enough to memorize that. I ate far more fun things than ramen.

I had cup-0-noodles!

I actually found a ramen I like, was wondering about the meat involved though (no mention on ingredients, but???)

For many of years, my Ramen flux = 0

Noodle flux is high But I really don't need or want the salt and msg Noodles, sesame oil, red bean paste or anise or some sort of stock or just plain.... mmmmmm. I could eat noodles and pot stickers for weeks, but that probably wouldn't be so healthy
