Instant ramen is a ubiquitous food, beloved by anyone looking for a cheap, tasty bite including prisoners, who buy it at the commissary and use it as the building block for all sorts of meals. Think of this as a unique cookbook of ramen hacks. Here s Ramen Goulash. Black Bean Ramen. Onion Tortilla Ramen Soup. The Jailhouse Hole Burrito. Orange Porkies chili ramen plus white rice plus 1/2 bag of pork skins plus orange-flavored punch. Ramen Nuggets. Slash s J-Walking Ramen (with scallions, Sriracha hot sauce, and minced pork).
Coauthors Gustavo Goose Alvarez and Clifton Collins Jr. are childhood friends one an ex-con, now free and living in Mexico, and the other a highly successful Hollywood character actor who s enlisted friends and celebrities to contribute their recipes and stories.
