How do you eat your ramen?

Posted: 7/27/2002 11:52:28 PM EDT

Shaken or stirred?

No, wait...

Drain the broth or eat it like soup?

I make the broth, cook the noodles in the broth, drain it and add a little butter. Mmmm...

But haven't had any in a loooooong time.

You forgot the other option... sprinkle contents of Flav-o-packet on it and Chow down dry.

Makes a great snack!

p.s. I don't wanna hear anybody ripping on it till they've tried it! [:D]

Soup.
The broth helps the cardboard taste better.
Oh. Those are NOODLES, not cardboard!!!

Are we ramen eaters so that we can save our money for the important things in life... like guns? [:D]

At 15 cents a bag, you can't go wrong.

Man, you're getting ripped off. I got mine today for 10 cents a pack, for Maruchan!

Ah yes, the great ramen debate, heard echoing around campuses for years.

Ditch the broth. The package says Raman Noodles, not Ramen Soup.

Stuff is some nasty shit.

I buy Campbell's Condensed Tomato soup and eat el-cheapo saltines when I want to go cheap. One can makes like 5 bowls worth using water. Cans are only $.50 around here. A little more expensive (about a $1.25 a day), but a lot more palatable.

Boil noodles, drain water/broth off, add little packet of flavoring/seasoning, stir and eat.

I eat mine with chopsticks so I drain off the broth, and my fav a little cold rat meat.

No, you're getting ripped off! I get ine for .08 per bag, just like the legal limit BAL.

You can load up your shopping cart full to the brim for about $10! (Believe me, had some hard times)

I've been eating ramen noodles since I first became a firearms owner. Gotta eat cheap to buy those toys. Anyway, I drain all the water out and stir in the flavor packet. By the way, I only like the beef flavor. Lately, I have been buying the picante beef. Pretty spicy stuff.

Well I haven't eaten Ramen in quite sometime.

But I always drained the water and ate just the noodles.

It's also good if you mix in some canned chili.

Somewhere in the early 1980's the soups flavor changed . The only way to get that classic Chinese Noodle flavor from the 1970's is to mix the shrimp and oriental flavors and fix a double helping.

The broth is nasty. I keep the noodles, ditch the broth.

When I was 19 I was on my own and very poor. I have also eaten them dry on the way to a construction site to work for the day.

Otherwise I drain them.

Eat it like a soup. Add eggs or hot dogs or SPAM. Maybe some chopped veggies.

Broth, who wants a dry noodle??? [;)]

Ok, around here they are like 6/$1.00, but go to like Walmart they are 2 cases for $5.00. I heard Sam's club is cheaper yet.

The best is the Chili flavored than add salsa...of course mild salsa, it clears up the sinuses real fast...

When it comes to save money for guns, this is the way to go....

I leave the broth in, while heating up I dump in a can of Swanson's chunk chicken and ground pepper. Makes a great chicken noodle soup.

Anyone else think it doesn't matter what flavor you get they taste the same?

This man has the correct idea.

I CRAVE Ramen noodles. Pork flavor especially. Sometimes ya just gotta dress 'em up a little.

Posted: 7/28/2002 7:46:27 PM EDT

[#34]

Use about 1/2 the water, add Herb-Ox bullion, and maybe Tabasco or other (read: WAY HOTTER!) hot sauce.

Sometimes, finely cubing an old steak and sauteing thoroly before making the ramen (then toss in) is a good way to deal with the stuff that's too tough to eat any other way.

I used to find a "curry" flavour (made a good base for adding Tabasco, as above) but haven't seen it in a while. Of course, here in the KSSR you can't find proper "HOT" food anymore... Hot links, aren't. My hot sauces come from back home. I don't buy peppers locally, I have a buddy back home with a pepper garden that keeps my fix supplied...

WRONG - WRONG

There should be virtually no broth left!!!

Cook the noodles and let them sit a bit - they'll absorb most of the broth.

If you are one of the CRAZIES that discards the broth, well - you are a wastestful rich person.

Crazy people.....

Tate is right. I take the cup im going to eat them from, fill it up with water. dump the water into the pot and boil/add noodles flarvor packet. Then i let it sit for about 5 min after its done cooking. There is a small amount of broth and the noodles have absorbed the flavor much better then before. Only problem is you get choked from the hot pepper concentrated into a small area (picante chicken ramen)

1. Take two packets of noodles, boil for recommended time in water.
2. Drain off water and dump flavor packets directly in noodles and mix.
3. Melt butter or oil in frying pan and get very hot. You'll probably need a good 1/8th cup to keep the noodles from sticking unless you got one of them fancy teflon pans :-)!
4. Dump noodles into frying pan and spread evenly. When the down side starts to brown, flip "entire" noodle pancake over and brown that side. Cut into pie slices and serve.

To be fancy, fry up some eggs, hamburger, and mushrooms (shitakke are best), and maybe some veggies and or tofu all together, and then dump on pie slices with a bit of the juice.

Verrrry tasty and noone knows you started from cheapo ramen noodles!

Hmmm, as one person commented, in Canada there are more than a few problems. Mr Noodles I believe were mentioned, a name brand, and shitty.

The best is to go to the Real Canadian Superstore (I know I Know) But they sell Enough types of Ramen to make anyone happy, imported Japanese, Imported Korean, Even cheap ass Viet shit.

I like the Korean, I have cases of that shit, it is more expensive than cheap Ramen, but comes with TWO flavor packets, one is straight flavor, the other is various dried vegetables

And These particular noodles I like to fry and dump on straight steamed rice, usually with hot sauce as well, make s a very HOT meal

One .10 cent bag of noodles,one .79 cent can chicken and one .49 cent can stem and pieces mushrooms from "Cheapo Depot". Sautee chopped onion in pan and add 2 tbs liquid chicken broth to 1/2 amount of water. Add rest of ingrediants. Add Tabasco to taste and enjoy with a cold HARP. If cooking for date(BAM!) double the recipe.[:D]Yum!

You add the egg when the water is boiling. Its really good that way. I like to add some frozen vegetables to mine when it starts to boil. I have also eaten them dry as a snack. Most of the time I boil the noodles, drain off allot of the water, add seasoning, and a whole lot of tabasco sauce.

I have my parents buy them for me at the store on base. Most of the time they are .05 a bag.

I like mine with a can of Campbell's chicken brothe, and some veggies, chicken or whatever that was left over from the nite before. I hate those powdered soup bases because they have too much MSG(i.e. sodium), but the Campbell's is no slouch in that dept either, but there is a bit less. The excessive MSG causes my mouth to feel dried-out which is kinda annoying to me.

Beef

Cook the noodles for 3 minutes, drain, add the powder and stir until evenly coated... add a splash of soy sauce and a dash onion salt and black pepper.
