Are you kidding?
Yes, it's possible. That's how my kid makes it.
Although she doesn't put the seasoning until after she takes it out.

You can, do it all the time. Heck, I eat it raw alot too. bowl + water, + ramen broken up + spice packet = quick and cheap meal.

yes, boil water in the microwave, add ramen (no seasoning) and put back in on medium heat for 4 minutes (too keep water warm while ramen softens)
the noodles are harder than stove-top cooking, but still good

all at one time zap: might work, but you have to make sure one WHOLE side of your ramen square in touching water (big bowl) or else the noodles will get nasty brown burnt

Yes, it works, that's how my little girl does it. Noodles + water in microwave, then seasoning.

for the REALLY lazy, do what I do.

Before opening the package, squeeze it to start breaking it up inside a little bit. Then, open on eend and pull out the spice packet. Now open spice packet, dump into the bag. While clamping the open end closed with your hand, use your other hand to squeeze and crunch up the ramen noodles more. Once you get it sufficiently crunched up some, start shaking up the bag while squeezing to crush the noodles more and distribute the spices on all the noodle parts.

Once the noddles are small emough to your liking, start digging in like it's popcorn.

There is no need for water, bowels, utensils, cleaning afterward, a microwave, or even electricity. Cheapest, easiest, and most effective way to eat Ramen.

microwaves are unhealthy http://www.herbalhealer.com/microwave.html
most americans are still not aware of this harmful products that are sold as a convenient to heat up food rapidly but don't know the side effects. such as..

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by "shorting out" electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.

8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

It doesn't taste that great anyway, it is unevenly heated. The top layer is very hot and inner layer still cool much like heating in an oven except very unhealthy and bad for you in the long run.
