I've been trying to economise a little, and somehow managed to fuck up ramen, which I hadn't cooked in a long time.
I heated up the pan while I boiled the kettle, and figured boiling kettle water + really hot pan should expedite the process, right? True fast food. What I did not consider was putting the powdered flavouring in after the water, so what happened was I tipped the powder into the empty hot pan which burned brown within one second, so I panicked and began pouring kettle water into the pan which caused a reaction leading to the pan violently bubbling over taking some of the now-diluted powder with it. Once it calmed down off the heat, I resolved to continue and added the ramen block and cooked it until I realised that in my enthusiasm I had added too much water, leaving a large amount of the powder's flavour in a watery broth and not on the noodles.
I ended up with piss-weak broth and flavourless noodles and the reminder that I am a retard.
