In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are a variety of condiments that can be added to instant noodles to improve the flavor. These condiments can be added before or after cooking the ramen. Use these condiments in addition to the seasoning packet or as a replacement for the seasoning packet. For example:  Add a tablespoon of miso paste to your ramen to give it a smooth, meaty broth. To make a spicy Asian-inspired ramen, stir in 1 teaspoon of Korean chili seasoning, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, and ½ teaspoon honey.  Add half a tablespoon of peanut butter to your ramen and stir it vigorously to create a Thai-inspired noodle dish. There are many vegetables that can be added to your noodles. Vegetables that cook quickly can be added just before serving the noodles. Other vegetables that cook more slowly will need to blanched in advance.  Vegetables that cook quickly include baby spinach, thinly-sliced cabbage, and baby bok choy  Slow-cooking vegetables include broccoli, carrots, and peas. Any frozen vegetables need to be thawed in advance. The seasoning packets in instant noodle dishes are usually a combination of powdered bouillon, sodium, and freeze-dried herbs. If you’re concerned about the levels of sodium in your ramen or if you prefer the taste of homemade broth, you can replace the seasoning packet with vegetable or meat broth.  Instead of boiling 2 ½ cups (600 mililiters) of water, boil the same amount of broth to cook the noodles. You can make your own vegetable, beef, or chicken broth at home or buy some from your grocery store.
Summary: Add condiments to enhance the flavor. Add healthy vegetables. Replace the seasoning packet with broth.

This includes your hands and the fruit you will be extracting oil from. Cold pressing doesn’t involve chemicals for extraction, so it’s important to thoroughly wash the fruit to remove bacteria. It takes about 25 pieces of citrus fruit to produce a useful amount of oil this way. Plan ahead! Remove the rind of the fruit with a peeler or knife and place it to the side. You may also remove the rind of the fruit with your fingers if you desire, but this can cause a greater amount of pulp and other fruit material to end up in the oils, which will need to be removed later.  The greatest concentration of oils in most fruit is contained in the outer layer of the rind. The lighter portion of the rind contains much less oil.  You can use an electric peeler to obtain the skin of the fruit, but note that this may produce more pulp than a hand peeled method. Once the fruit is peeled, you can use the leftover fruit for cooking or eating. There are a variety of uses for the leftover fruit peel, even after pressing. Rather than composting the peel, try:  Keeping the peels in a small bag and hanging it somewhere to keep the room smelling zesty. The oil in orange peel, limonene, acts as a repellant for several types of insects. Toss a few peels into the garbage disposal and give them a good grinding to freshen up the smell of your sink. Use a pressing device, such as a sieve, to squeeze the fruit peel over a jar. Heavy pressure will squeeze liquid from the peel - this liquid contains the oils you're looking for. Use a fair amount of strength when pressing, but take care not to damage or break the implement you are using. You should see a small amount of oil drain from the peel after a few seconds.  Cold pressing peel is quite a bit of effort for what looks to be a fairly small amount of oil. Don’t get discouraged. The oil is quite potent.  A garlic press is a great way of pressing small amounts of fruit peel with ease. A mortar and pestle may also be used, though this method is a little more labor intensive and difficult. Allow the liquid squeezed from the peel to stand for a few days. The oil will separate from the rest of the liquid, which can then be collected. A centrifuge can also be used to separate the oil from the rest of the liquid!  A simple way of collecting the oil from the liquid is placing the liquid in the freezer. The oil will remain in its liquid form while the remainder freezes, allowing you to pour out the oil.  Oil extracted this way has a small shelf life. Try to use any oil created within a 6 month period. Bottle the oil that you extract from the liquid for later use. Dab a little on your skin for a fresh smell, or use some in cooking recipes that require essential oil. Remember that the oil is very concentrate – a little will go a long way.

Q: Facebook requires profile pictures to appear square. They will display at 170x170 pixels on computer pages, and 128x128 pixels on smart phones. Before uploading your picture, you can play around with your favorite photo editing software to make sure that the photo can be cropped to this size and still look good. Photos that are too rich in color can actually make your portrait seem unnatural. Use your editing software to turn down the color saturation before you upload. If the picture is too dark, you can use a photo editing software program to increase the brightness. However, be careful not to overuse the brightness setting. If you push things too far, you will look washed out and unnatural. If your picture really is too dark, take another one in better lighting.
A: Crop your picture. Keep the color saturation low. Brighten your photo.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have remaining length in the end of your LED strip, clip it with scissors in a location that will allow you to attach the wires from your power source while still being hidden behind the mirror. Attach the wires from your LED strip to the wires for your plug with crimp-on wire connectors, which are available at most hardware stores. You have the option of soldering your wires together instead of using wire clamps if you are experienced with soldering and have the proper equipment. Remember that soldering will be permanent, as opposed to wire clamps which you can remove if you ever want to switch out your LED strip for a different type of light. When your lights are attached and connected to a plug, you can hang your mirror so that the plug reaches your nearest outlet. Rehang a previously used mirror using the hardware that you used on it before, or hang a new mirror using the hardware that it came with. You’re all ready to plug your mirror in and enjoy the backlight effect you created. If you want to be able to turn your lights on and off with the rest of the lights in your room, you’ll need to speak with your electrician. They can instruct you in drilling a hole in the wall behind your mirror to run a transformer into the existing circuits in the room, or they may offer to do the job for you. Tell your electrician that you’ve created a backlit mirror and you’d like to connect it with rest of your circuits for whatever room that it’s in.

SUMMARY:
Connect your lights to your power source cable. Hang your mirror close to an outlet to manually plug it in. Consult an electrician to control your lights from a wall switch.
