i found instant rice porridge (congee, or jook) packets at my local asian markes, plus about every type of noodle i used to eat growing up.... Makes for a nostalgic, yet tasty alternative to the boring ole ramen found at the wallymart! I made the congee the other day and it rehydrated near perfect... havent gotten around to the other noodles i purchased, but they look promising (i only picked the ones with no msg and the lowest sodium possible)
