Extremely cheap generic or store-brand instant Japanese noodles (usually sold for $0.50 or less per package) of inferior or questionable quality and/or flavor. Derived from the professional wrestling term "jobber" (a performer who is perpetually assigned to lose; a performer lacking in the skills or charisma needed to become a top talent, often relegated to wrestling in opening matches at the beginning of shows) and the Japanese word "ramen" (an adaptation of a Chinese phrase that means "pulled/stretched noodles").
After I was laid off during the dot-com crash, I lived on jobber ramen for six whole months.

Get the rajendra mug.Ramen, as we know it, is an anemically Americanized version of a Japanese rip-off a Chinese gastronomical phenomenon known as lo mein. That means that, not only are the noodles pressed into a cake and dried, but both the noodles and the sauce are also purified of all useful nutrients. It amounts to strings of bleached flour steeped in warm brine.
OK, so we're convenience addicts, but we still don't have to settle for such flavorless, salty broth and mushy noodles.
Go to an oriental food store. Don't worry that that we look like guyjiin when we walk in. It can't be helped, so don't worry about it. Buy a few packages of Mi Bo.
Mi is a southeast Asian word, equivalent to the Chinese word mein, meaning "noodle". Bo is a southeast Asian word for moo, or cow, as if in English we said "moo" instead of borrowing the word "cow" from some other language to replace our word moo. Southeast Asians go ahead and say their word for cow when they talk about what they eat, instead of borrowing the word "beef" from yet another language to replace our word cow. How sensible of them.
So you go into the oriental food store and buys some packages of cow-flavored noodles. The packages look just like ramen noodle packages, so make sure you don't buy any Americanized brands like Smack or Top. Mama and Kung Fu are good brands.
If you don't recognize any brands, check by feel, what the flavor packet is like. Good flavor packets in truly oriental "ramen" packages will feel thicker and softer because they contain two or three different kinds of seasonings: A regular flavor packet, a flavored oil packet and possibly, a spice packet.
Dump the flavoring packets into half as much water as you're used to using for ramen while it's heating so you have a nice broth that will cook flavor into the noodles when you add them. Do some taste-testing while gradually adding the spice, so you don't find the final result toxic to your taste buds. Don't add the noodles until the water boils. Keep it boiling until the noodles are done.
If you want to be authentic, don't break the noodles. Some parts of Asia use chopsticks and some don't, so that's optional.
If you prefer convenience, break the noodles small enough to fit in your soup spoon.
Lift the noodles out of the broth and place them into a bowl and garnish it generously with bean sprouts, snow peas, and/or chopped onion to suit your taste. Then pour the boiling broth over it all.
When you're ready for another adventure, go back and buy some other flavor.
