My roommate tried to make 'fancy' ramen and set off the fire alarm at 2am

Last Thursday, my roommate Jake decided to upgrade our cheap ramen by frying the dry noodles in oil before adding water, something he saw online. He used way too much oil in our tiny apartment kitchen in Phoenix, and the whole place filled with smoke in like 30 seconds. The alarm went off, waking our whole building, and we had to wave a towel at it for five minutes. Has anyone else had a budget meal attempt go totally wrong like that? lmao

Frying dry ramen noodles in oil sounds like a recipe for disaster. That much oil in a small kitchen is just asking for a smoke cloud. What did he think was going to happen?

Come on, it's just a smoke alarm. Happens to everyone trying to cook something new. Not that big of a deal.
