A good budget recipe: the Ramelette. Take a standard brick of ramen and cook the noodles as directed. While that’s boiling set a skillet on mid-low to preheat. Take two chicken eggs and scramble them along with a splash of milk and the flavor powder from the ramen. When the noodles are done, drain them and then mix them into the eggs. After the noodles are properly covered, dump the whole mess into the pan, cook like a standard omelet and then serve. And now you have a tasty, filling meal for under $2.00 USD.
