So I was thinking the other day as I was on my 3rd bowl of Nissin Top Ramen, How does everyone prepare their wonderful 50 cent meal?

Personally, I break the noodles up in the bag by pounding on em then boil very little water, just enough so it cooks the noodles and is left without any water, add the flavor when its boiled then add noodles. 1 min later im set with a wholesome meal that doesn't require you to eat those 3' noodles and get them all over yourself.

Anyways... how do you make yours?

smash them to hell, stick them in a bowl, fill with water so it just covers the top, and pop in microwave for 2 1/2 mins. :)

First I smash the noodles on the counter (while in the bag of course), then boil them with some water. I usually add the flavor packet thing about halfway through, along with some other spices and crap from the cupboard. I let it boil until there's just a little water left, and put it in the bowl. Crush up a handful of saltine crackers and I'm good to go! :yum:

Lately I've only been using half of the flavor packet because of the ridiculous sodium content (I know adding saltine crackers doesn't help, but hey).

Ill have to try that with the saltine's. I usually do that with my Spagetti-O's :D

I like to eat ramen raw, its a good snack when you are on the go, just grab a pack of it and eat it like a big noodle bar, and then sometimes I sprinkle the flavor on it for that elegant touch. :bigok:

If you prefer to ingest lots of MSG, the best noodles raw are hte vietnamese ones in the silver bags with the spicy powder. My old jr. high friend used to sell the for 50 cents a pop at school! dammit, and I couldn't resist.

Its all bout the Maruchan cup ramen! You know the kind that comes in the lil cup with the paper lid :yum: The ONLY right way to eat ramen is to boil the water in a seperate pot. Pop that lid, pour in water, let sit for exactly 2:00min. Eat up! People these days...always microwaving ramen...
Anyone tried that barbeque flavored one that was out for a while? :barf:

03-19-2004, 09:27 PM
the packages of like 5 for a 1.00 or something.. ill take one of those and boil it in 2 cups of water until the noodles break apart, usually around 3-4 minutes.. take it off the heat, add the little silver bag, some spices from the cupboard, like italian seasoning, and garlic salt.

after i put all that in there with the water and the ramen, i stir it.. then i drain the water...

add about a tablespoon of milk, and stir it into it.. the noodles come out extremely fluffy and full if my recipe is followed to a T.

enjoy :rawk:

big pot of water, bring to boil with some olive oil in it (maybe a teaspoon for 2 cups of water). drop the whole brick o' ramen in there. Let them boil till they break apart, stain it. Add silver packet and, if i have it, the corresponding meat (pork flavor-->little bit of kilbosa sausage stuff..that is, if i have any..but the idea is that this meal cost $0.50) If there's meat in it, olive oil up a pan and stir fry the the whole thing with some green peppers. I give you Ramen Stir Fry :bow:
I'm leaving for college in July, so i gotta get back on the diet.

I'm a big fan of Shin Ramuen (sp?), very spicy and ever so slightly better then the basic supermarket offerings.

I cook mine the way my Korean housemate cooked his Ramen. Boil the water, break the noodles and cook. Then strain the water and place the noodles in the bowl. Then boil a small amount of water (enough for the broth), add the seasoning AND dried vegetable packets (I told you this is premium broke food) until heated, then pour over noodles and enjoy.

I think I like this method better since the starches from the pasta that end up in the broth are removed or maybe I just want subconsiously to justify the extra effort. :fruit:

Ramen :rl:

i don't even bother w/ the boiling anymore, i grab some wheat bread and chow down...

but before.. i used to....
1) boil the water
2) break the noodles in half and chuck the sucker in
3) throw the sauce packs in
4) CAN'T FORGET THE EGG !! :bite:
5) turn off the fire and add the spinach... or...
6) while still boiling throw in some cabbage and then turn it off...

complete meal. !!! :naughtyd:

Dood you know youve been a broke ass when you know theres 34 different flavors of top ramen. You can make ramen as a non-soup. Just boil the water, drain, mix half the packet, slap some soy sauce for good measure and im good.

HiPSI
03-20-2004, 08:23 AM
i usually break the pack into 1/3's and toss it into an already heated pot. strain and add soy sauce and beef flavoring. then you have my specialty, salty blackened beef noodles (not quite as good as chocolate salty balls).;)

03-20-2004, 12:05 PM
I get a pot of water set it on the stove for 1 1/2 minutes or until you start seeing little bubbles before the actual boiling starts then I pour in about a table spoon of sesame oil and chopped up green onions sprinkle a tiny bit of garlic salt or powder mix it around until the salt/powder is desolved then I break the pack of noodles into 4 squares dump that in and stir around until the noodles are seperated from eachother then I poor the flavor pack/msg (LOL) in mix for about 30 seconds find a bowl or eat it straight out of the pot. TRY THIS IT'S REALLY GOOD TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!

Go to Sam's Club. They're like a box of 50 or 100 for $5.00 or some rediculous ammount. Hell.. 20 Ramen-In-A-Cups were like $5.00.
For the bag kind.. all noodles must be intact. Not broken. Then chop some celery, carrots, and a 1/2 tsp. of Cayenne Pepper (or my favorite, Cajun Seasoning). And make 2 packages at a time, with 3/4 cup of water instead of 1 cup per package added. 2 packages + carrots + celery + seasoning might be $.50.

I get a wide bowl and put in the water and seasoning. Stir it to disolve the seasoning. Then, put the chunk of ramen in there and microwave it for 2 minutes. Then, take the chunk and turn it over, microwave for 2 more minutes. Once it is done.....use a fork to break up the noodles....and let it sit for about 3-4 minutes. The key is to let it sit so most of the liquid is absorbed and the noodles get fat. Now...this way isn't a soup...because I dont use enough water to have any broth left over once the noodles absorb the water.

My cousin used to make this "dish" where he would combine like 3 packs of ramen noodles, some cheese whiz, some pizza sauce, and some pepperoni slices. I was pretty good actually....looks like sh!t tho.

Wow, I wish I could eat Ramen everyday. I would be rich. Nowadays I can only eat it a few times a month or else I would feel sick.

But when I was actively eating it I would add dry shrimp, or cook the noodles, drain and stir fry it with something.

03-21-2004, 10:24 PM
add just enough hot water to cook the noodles, i leave them long. then add a lot of lemon juice and tapatio sauce.

AKADriver
03-21-2004, 11:14 PM
Well, since I've had a job, I pretty much stopped eating it. In college I was pretty simple, I'd just put it on with a little less than the prescribed water amount on the pack, and keep boiling until the water cooked down and it was like one big squishy mass. Then I'd either put the flavor packet on if it was a good flavor, or just toss in some soy sauce if it was a crappy flavor. That was with the Maruchan, 8/$1.00 stuff.

Now that I'm a man of wealth and taste, I buy the shin ramyun in big multi-packs at the Grand Mart (DC people know Grand Mart, it's a grocery store that's like, half Korean food, half Mexican food). I just cook it according to the package, maybe dump an egg into it. Good spicy soup on a cold day.

bah damn unoriginal people .. all yous boil it in some way... i boil it half way... for about 1 and a half minutes.. make sure the noodles are soft... but not saturated with the water... then i drain the suckers... cut up some ham, veggies, mix in some scrambled eggs, throw in some soy sauce and throw it in a pan ( or Wok) with some peanut oil.. a couple of strips o steak i jack from my mom whenever im home and voila instant home cooked pan fried noodles with veggies and steak and scrambled eggs :)
down with a cold one or some sake if you can get your hands on it.
try it some time

aznpoopy
03-22-2004, 08:26 AM
here's mine:

1) boil water + add seasoning / soup base
2) throw in noodles without breaking
3) add in any preferred sauces (sah tzia, soy sauce, ketchup, whatever)
4) add in secondary foods (hot pot stuffs, sliced beef, fried tofu, veggies etc)
5) throw in egg
6) put it in a huge bowl steaming hot and throw in yet another egg
7) add your secondary sauces

the second egg ends up being partially cooked with a raw egg yoke that u get to eat at the end if your careful and don't pop up. the first egg will turn into fluffy stuff. secondary sauce is the main flavor but u can make it taste really different depending on what sauce u put in step 3.

You guys are all missing the method of the ramen champions. Boil the water, throw in the noodles, get it almost done, throw in the egg.
Then Drain and add CHICKEN of BEEF Broth (half a can, if you can).
Throw back on the stove for a couple, then put in a dish and add Some of the silver packet but be careful. OT, or Over Taste is a bad thing.

Right now the Cajun Chicken Nissin is my fav. The draining is critical to removing the Slime and haziness caused by the excess starchs and egg. But that broth is critical to overall taste. Just cooking it like a normal human being with broth gets good results also. Happy hunting and remember to use your bonus card:)

Hell fuckin yeah. Kimchi flavor ownz.

Ive been learning how to perfect the ramen noodle making here in my dorm. *currenly waiting for 2nd bowl to finish microwaving*. Man, actually im kinda poor now, so i had to settle for the non name brand ramen. I bought it at walmart (yeah there isnt so much choice out here in the middle of nowhere VA). The brand is "SMACK". WTF? it was a funny name. I made first bowl. wasnt bad for $0.11 per pack :). BUt im a traditional college ramen maker. BOwl w/ water, unbroken noodles, 3 min in micro. Add flavor packet, mix, micro for 2 more min. $0.11 meal goodness.

well, now that i think about it, i have to eat like3 to get full. damn. Im not a freshman so i cant claim the freshman 15. Its more the the sophmore 30 :)!

Hmmm, BBQ with Chicken, Ima try that.

So far the best one (and only one I tried) was the stir fry method. I had some left over Mu Shu (SP?) and put the noodles in some oil, fried em, then added the Mu Shu and it was better then putting it in the pancakes they give you! MMMM

Hmm, beer and ramen... maybe someday when im to wasted to know what im eating...

I tried boiling an egg for the first time tonight with disastrously cool results (microwaved egg in water, it exploded).

Then, and this is crucial, i put in the hottest ass hotsauce i can find. im talking the stuff made from the habaneros here. So the i let it cook a little bit more , let them soak up the spicy goodness, and then i eat it, burning the living shit out of my mouth and lips, enjoyin it the whole time. damnit i need ot eat.

You're going about it all wrong man... the noodles cook the egg!

You make the soup, then you just break the egg into the soup as soon as you turn off the heat. Remember, the broth is still boiling at this point. When you drop the egg into 212 degree broth, it cooks it right there. It's also good to stir as soon as you drop it in, or you'll just have a big chunk of egg white in the bottom... unless you like that...

OMG!! haha u put an egg in the microwave HAHAHA!!! great stuff man!!

But dam Ramen full of goodness!! I'm surprized to hear u guys put eggs in there also!! Guess its natural, been doing that forever. Exactly the same way you do it AKADriver!!!... kinda

Boil water
drop 2 bricks in boiling water
once noodles break apart put in pounder and what ever green veggies u got and mix
then turn off fire and crack an egg on top of ramen and put a lid over pot for 1 minute
by now the white should be done and the yellow is hard enough around it not to brake
noodles are real soft and fluffy and not alot of soup left
put in bowl eat with some pickled stuff...

similar to what you do i like doing it korean style... where you drop in the egg but purposely leave it alone. when you're done with the noodles the white will have cooked off but the yoke will still be raw (but cooked enough so its still one solid yoke).

the other way to cook egg is just dump it in while ur still cooking the noodles. stir it along with the noodles and cap it off. it comes out as bits of white fluffy stuff distributed throughout the noodles and soup.

put the noodles w/ spice and oil pack in a bowl and pour boiling water on top and cover. wait til its soft to your liking (medium for me please) and add siracha hot sauce and some fried red onions or scallions. it's the bomb, greasy and spicy.

It was made by nissin and i believe was seafood flavored. It's a white container.

Whoever can get them, I'll paypal you money.

Normally, I throw in vegetables and meat to make it more healthy.. in a way.. i guess.

take noodles out of package
put in bowl (no crushing here)
fill bowl with warm water until noodles are floating.
microwave for 4m 30s, stop and stir half way through.
remove bowl from microwave, using your fork to hold your noodles, pour out excess water
add flavor and enjoy.

Your turning your instant noodles into Pho! The only thing your missing is some meat, beef tripe, sriracha, and hoisin sauce.

I like all sorts of instant ramen. I like mi Mama, nong shim, kung fu, and mi goreng.

I like korean instant noodles the best because you usually get more noodles and it fills you up more.

I eat mine raw. They're better than potatoe chips. Just put half of the seasoning packet in with a drizzle of the oil packet it comes with so the seasoning sticks. Close it in a zip lock bag or tighten the original package and shake so evenly mix. Taste very good!

hamberger alfredo ramen (http://www.mattfischer.com/ramen/?p=731)

october 21st, 2008 i’ve never had johnny’s salt (http://www.johnnysfinefoods.com/products/10002.php) before, but i think any mixed seasoning will do. My wife came home from savannah, ga (http://www.savannahvisit.com/) with some paula deen (http://www.pauladeen.com/) silly salt (http://www.pauladeen.com/product/336/74). It’s pretty good.

ingredients
1 fried cut up hamburger patty
2 packs chicken ramen and flavor pack
1 table spoon of johnny\’s salt
1 teaspoon a-1 sauce
1 teaspoon worcester sauces
2 slices american cheese

fry hamburger and add johnnys salt, a-1 sauce, and worcester sauce. Cut pre-cooked hamburger into 1/4 inch pieces. Set aside. Boil ramen, drain, and put back into pan. Add cheese, hamburger, and flavor packs. Pull through ramen with fork to ensure cheese and seasoning is spread evenly through out. After the cheese is fully melted and stirred in.. Enjoy!

ingredients
1 shrimp flavor ramen pack
honey

chipotle sauce
6 generic frozen chicken nuggets

prepare the noodles while the chicken nuggets are cooking (for best results bake or deep fry the chicken). Add crushed ramen noodles to boiling water and turn off stove, allow the ramen to stand. Cut the chicken nuggets into 4 way pieces. Next, strain noodles and mix in the chicken and the shrimp flavor pack. Add 2tbsp of honey, 1tbsp of mustard, and 2-4tsp of chipotle sauce. You may need to add a small amount of hot water if it is too dry.

Chicken Ramen.

Crush noodles before opening. Cook the noodles, pour out the water, so it's just noodles. Add a small amount of cold water, enough to help the powder dissolve. Add powder. Stir. Eat by scooping with "Chicken in a Biscuit" crackers, or Club crackers.

Effing tasty.

Hell fuckin yeah. Kimchi flavor ownz.

Ive been learning how to perfect the ramen noodle making here in my dorm. *currenly waiting for 2nd bowl to finish microwaving*. Man, actually im kinda poor now, so i had to settle for the non name brand ramen. I bought it at walmart (yeah there isnt so much choice out here in the middle of nowhere VA). The brand is "SMACK". WTF? it was a funny name. I made first bowl. wasnt bad for $0.11 per pack :). BUt im a traditional college ramen maker. BOwl w/ water, unbroken noodles, 3 min in micro. Add flavor packet, mix, micro for 2 more min. $0.11 meal goodness.

well, now that i think about it, i have to eat like3 to get full. damn. Im not a freshman so i cant claim the freshman 15. Its more the the sophmore 30 :)!

ive had Smack too its pretty good

i just smash the noodles up in the bag, put it in a bowl and put hot water from the faucet and the packet in there.

I still like to think of ramen as noodles. Therefore: boil water with some oregano (or italian spice mix) and noodles (only broken in half, none of this smashing, sir) and then wait until they look damp enough no to crunch but still solid enough to be noodles not goo. Throw the flavor packet in the trash, you heard me, dump that shit. Then, drain water and cover in some tomato sauce and some cheese. Instant spagetti, doesnt taste like real spagetti at all, but damn tasty none the less.

oh, and brave folk should make two packets this way (its a whole clusterfuck of noodles all long an tangled)

Depends on if Im lazy or not. If im not, Ill boil it, add egg, carefully drain water, add flavor. If Im lazy I microwave, drain water completely, ad a dab of oil (whatevers lyin around: olive, vege, rotella, ect) and then add flavor. BTW, if you havent done egg in ramen, your missing out.

My favorite way...

2 packets of any flavor ramen
3 cloves of minced garlic
2-4 tablespoons of oyster sauce
1/2 onion
1/2 cup of jalapenos
1 can of tuna
1 tablespoon-ish of vegetable oil..

optional: chili pepper :)

basically just boil the noodles, strain it, and throw away the packets..

throw it in a pan with everything and stir fry it til golden brown.

EPIC. It's my "original" recipe :)

i like my top ramen noodle with a little more modification.. with some extra $$

1) boil water and add noodle to get it soft.
2) cut chicken breast into small pieces
3) cook chicken on pan, add black pepper and fish sauce
4) get water out of noodle and stir fried on pan with chicken
5) you can add bell pepper, aspargus, and green onions..
6) o and add the little ingrident thats comes with the top ramen noodle on the noodle while stir fried.

i like it.

Shitake mushroom, leftover char-siu pork or oden (fishcake), bamboo shoots, sprouts, nori, etc. You can pretty much put any leftover item in ramen.

Just make sure to dump a shit-ton of Siracha in it. Siracha makes everything better.

Do NOT pour in tons of Shoyu, I learned this the hard way. Shit is salty enough.
