Ramen Noodles

[istewart]

I think they're crap, and are only possibly edible when you have nothing in your dorm and it's late. What about you?

Chicken flavor is best. The gauntlet has been thrown.

This statement ends this debate. Nobody can say that a dinner that costs 15 cents is a bad thing.

Chicken?! only a total trog conservitive would say that! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

it's shrimp for me, with an egg drop.


but it depends if you're a cook-drain-season person or a season-cook-drain person. i'm the former. it's also good broken up, toasted, and sprinkled with the seasoning. don't believe me? try it!

I do agree with you heartily on method of preparation. You lose too much sodium by seasoning and then draining.

I think you meant to say, "The nips make good noodles."

Beef rocks my world but the chicken is a close second.

[bholdr]

It's a delicate art, leaving the noodles wet enough to accept the seasoning, without letting them get soggy, and stirring them fast enough to even it out. there's nothing worse in the ramen world than getting one bite that's all seasoning, and having the rest of your lunch/dinner/ back-from-the-bars snack taste bland.

reminds me of a sticker i saw once: 'Top Ramen, Breakfast, lunch, and dinner of champions.'

but i'm a Maruchan Ramen man, i'll leave the Top Ramen to the college kids. ever try 'Smack' brand ramen? terrible! it's worth, maybe, 7c a pack (and i have seen it that cheep)

Here's what you do...

You season the water BUT you don't drain. I know, you're saying to yourself BROTH BLOWS but when you're a pro like me, you can add the just correct amount of water to where the noodles get soft but all the water is gone.

Also, ramen kicks ass if you add a little butter to it after it's done. I usually though some garlic power, onion powder and season salt into the water also.
