On my Pacific Coast trip, many of our one pot meals for two people included a brick of Ramen added for calorie boost.
I never tried that, sounds like it would work well. I'd still want to heat them up though and I find they hydrate pretty quickly as I heat them with limited water. One thing I forgot to mention. A dash of hot sauce is a nice addition. A tiny bottle of the crazy high heat that requires only a drop kind is a good option or a foil packet of less intense stuff grabbed from a fast food place earlier in the day is another.
Ramen noodles are cheap, versatile, and travel well.
