Ramen...

[Ratt]

Best instant noodles I've found are these:

It's nice and spicy.

And I agree on the Sriracha sauce. I go through one of the regular sized bottle in about two weeks. MY wife is from the Hunan province of China, the unofficial capital of the spiciest food on the planet. She's got me addicted to spicy shit.

Add all of that shit to anything and I am sure it would be good. How are those noodles plain in comparison to ramen plain?

You dont have to add all that to make the noodles taste good, they are good regardless of what you add.


Buy a pack and you'll notice the difference in flavor.

All it really is is chicken or beef broth and noodles. I like it though!

One egg per noodle square, add the egg half way thru cook time. I like putting a can of those potatoes in there too.

Ham and a touch of garlic.

When I was in the Corps and trying to pack on muscle weight and needed cheap protien/carbs, I would mix a batch of Ramen and a can of tuna.

I'm sure it worked well for what you were trying to accomplish but that just sounds down right nasty.

yeah I can imagine.. though the purpose of the thread was to find ways to make it a little better.

Less than a buck for that many calories you still win though.

After stopping and eating some noodles, I went to an asian supermarket later in the afternoon today and bought a few packets. What kills me about these is the sodium one pack had over 1400 mg and was 57% of daily suggested amount. Add some spices of your own and your going into crazy salt levels. Not gonna stop me from doing it though

The sodium is crazy high, that's why I would only use about 1/2 the flavoring packet.

I prepare ramen like this:

2 packets, 1 beef, 1 oriental
1 egg, beaten
2/3 of a slice of cheese

Boil the water and put the noodles in to cook. With about a minute left I stir in the egg, kinda like egg drop soup. I put the flavor packets into the empty bowl and when the noodles are done pour a little water in it, just enough to dissolve the flavor. I drain the bulk of the water from the noodles and pour them into the bowl and stir it up to distribute the flavor. Then I place the cheese slice on top until it melts and stir that in as well.

I have been eating it that way for 15 years or so and love it.

I know it's been over a year. But I just tried this, and it is awesome. Thanks for the recipe man. Also, this thread should be moved to the food section and made a sticky lol.

[joes01bullitt]
