One meal coming up: Heart Attack in a Bowl ($13.99)

Warning: Do not attempt this as the amount of sodium and other ingredients will cause a significant decrease in health but a huge boost in satisfaction.

          One meal that I would go for when there is nothing else is a cup of ramen and a bag of boiled dumplings. This is the best meal to ingest on any day, considering your diet is going to take a HUGE nosedive towards the red. All of the ingredients you can purchase at any Asian supermarket and are cheap as you can purchase a 12 ramen cup set for about $5 and a dumpling package for $6. The nutrition in this meal does cover the basic needs for your body for the day while having the ability to kill you. So I say that's a good trade-off. Basic nutrition vs. chance of death. YEAH.

          To make this the best meal, you need to prepare it my way. MY WAY IS THE BEST WAY. First, you have to add water/seasoning to the Shin Cup and heat it up in the microwave for 7 minutes. and then 5 minutes. RADIATION OVERKILL. Or you could heat it in an actual pot for 20 minutes and let it sit so the water can be soaked through by the noodles (Remember to add the seasonings). While that's happening, take out (another) pot and add water and place it on the stove so that it heats up. When it bubbles like crazy, add the dumplings and stir so they don't stick. When all the dumplings have risen to the surface, pour the water and dumplings out in a strainer and rinse with cooler water so it doesn't stick post-boil. When all of this is done, add the ramen and dumplings in a bowl and eat it. When finished, make sure you check your heart rate as it may be irregular due to the sodium overload.

Or you might just up-chuck. Either way works

          Despite the unhealthiness of the meal, this is a cheap way to get your nutrition without spending too much money. More importantly, IT'S FREAKIN' DELICIOUS! If you hear about any sales that happen in an Asian supermarket near your location, you need to purchase as many ramen cup sets and dumplings you can carry. The cheapness of the meal and the basic nutrition is the best combination this food combo has to offer. That is, considering you don't suffer from a heart attack or up-chuck your meal.
