TOP RAMEN!

[thoughtless]

how do you make/prepare yours?!

[tigersharkdude]

Pan-I use a small sauce pan just big enough for the square to fit in.
Water-Fill the pan about half way with water
Heat-Place on stove on high heat
Prepare-right after I put the pan on the stove, I add the chicken flavored powder, a little bit of crushed red pepper, probably a tablespoon of italian seasoning, and just a little bit of paprika
Cooking-Once water is boiling, add the noodles and place timer at 5 minutes.
While cooking- Use a fork to move the noodles around, be sure they are not stuck together anywhere
Finished-When timer beeps, remove the pan from heat and drain about half of the left over water. Place noodles in bowl and eat while they are hot

[PapaSmurf2k3]

^ I saw that crap at Wal Mart tonight and thought "...how do they charge more for ramen than they do for mac and cheese?!"
It might be better, but it probably doesn't justify a 300% price increase.

how do you NOT eat ramen?

You sir have offended me deeply.

Here are the tips:
1) not cup-of-noodle. Thats the crap
2) never microwave, its too soggy
3) never refrigerate. You don't wanna taste it warmed back up
4) ONLY boil on stove, for 3 minutes. Whoever said 5 mins, thats gross. You want noodles not ramen pudding (mmmm).
5) add whatever flavoring in water before adding noodles to boiling water. Be creative. Spicy is a must
6) This is the cocaine of japanese noodles. Super spicy and oh so good.

Some personal thoughts:
1) why the hell can't they sell another other flavor except chicken and beef in the 24 pack or whatever that is in the box, or the 6pc bag for that matter.
2) I havent seen Picante beef in a while. That s*** was spicy.
3) I add 2 together. its fun to add 2 different flavors too, like kool-aid.
4) #1 flavor = Creamy Chicken

Ramen isn't that bad for you unless you're using the salt packets that come with it. Its just carbs. I like to boil it in Swanson chicken broth and top it with a fresh poached egg (the fresher the better for poaching). Decorate with green onions and cilantro. Dirt cheap and winter-friendly snack.

You talking about the ones that they sell at the grocery stores for 4 for $1.00? I ate those alot when I was growing up and I can't bring myself to eat them anymore. Last few years I've been buying different brands, such as Nissin (Hong Kong made ones), and various japanese and korean brands. I just boil it and add the seasoning packet. Sometimes I'll add deli meats, fried or boiled egg, and or some frozen dumplings. Lately I've been buying freshly made egg and flour noodles from the local asian markets.

Yea Ramen is bad for you and the noodles themselves aren't too healthy either mostly because they are fried. I try to lesson the blow on my health by just not drinking the soup when I'm done with the noodles.

Ramen is the key to affording go fast parts.

[PoorManQ45]

I usually don't use the packets that come with them.

Hot sauce, salsa, creamy peanut butter, crushed peppercorn, Italian seasoning, a raw egg and sometimes some Habanero peppers if I've picked any from the garden. Stir it up and boil. I just use the microwave, it doesn't come out soggy like someone mentioned.

Makes a delicious thai peanut sauce

No doubt.

1.) Boil Noodles (don't use flavoring packet)

2.) Strain, discard water

3.) Toss noodles in a little Otafuku Yakisoba Sauce (*see below)

4.) Add toppings: (pick one, pick three, whatever)

-Fish cake (oden)
-Vegetables (I buy bagged broccoli and carrot slaw that I saute in a little olive oil until soft. Way better than the normal cabbage, but w/e you like)
-Shoyu spam slices

Etc.


*Get this janks. No other brand is half as good, this is $4/bottle at any Asian market and it's worth it. Lasts awhile.





While we're on the subject of sauces, everyone should also own Bulldog Sauce (for Tonkatsu), fish sauce, Shoyu (I like Aloha Shoyu, order online), and SIRACHA.

[thoughtless]

SIRACHA FTMFW!!!

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Why is that bottle in a bag?
I add an egg to mine.

Two things you should know:

1.) You aren't supposed to cook the flavoring packet. It looses flavor when you keep it over high heat.

2.) Paprika is a spice used for appearance only. It has no redeeming flavor whatsoever that can be noticed though all that.

[tigersharkdude]

Try my recipe bish, its good

[Dattebayo]

It will taste better if you wait until it's off the heat to put the packet in. And like I said, paprika is just for appearances.

Also, 5 minutes for one or even two packets gets you overcooked noodles.
