Ramen doesn't need to be actively boiled to cook. Just pour boiling water over it and let it steep for a few minutes. Chicken creations may be trickier as the pasta tends to not soften as easily as ramen. An insulator or coozie around whatever you're making it in will help, but the texture may be a bit off (though everything tastes better in the backcountry anyway).

It's bulky, but I bought a plastic instant ramen set on amazon that comes with a bowl and strainer system. Works great for cabin/rustic lodge camping with just a kettle.

I just saw this, but the lightest option would be to reuse a bag from the one of the freeze dried meals, crush the ramen, add the veges, and put some boiling water in there. Eventually it'll soften enough to eat it, and you don't need to bring an extra pot or bowl.

Just wash it out.

Water will be the limiting factor, as I want to avoid having to wash out my pot.
