Ramen in the Prep Stash?

[halfclickwest]

Thinking about keeping some ramen in my prep stash. It's super cheap and fills you up, but I know it ain't the most nutrient-rich option. I've got a couple of cases stored up, but how long do they really last after the expiration date? And, any tips on better storage than just keeping them in the box? Anyone else rotate ramen into their meal plans or know ways to spice it up for emergencies? Feels like they outlast their date sometimes!
