Saimin, as we call it in Hawaii, or ramen known to most. Packs of it are cheap in asian supermarkets and in american stores as well. I lived with it for my whole life and it has saved me from hunger countless times. When times were bad, and there wasn't anything in the fridge, there would be Saimin in the cabinets. Not only that, but SPAM and Vienna Sausage and Corned Beef. Got a whole bunch of that because it's cheap. All I needed was some vegetables which would also be cheap down at a corner store and I'm set.
