Talking How do you make your Top Ramen? (Cheap Kind)

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!

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).

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.

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.

Haha...sounds like a listerine commercial. But I second the raw top ramen with booz. Too lazy to cook anyways.

Its all bout the Maruchan cup ramen! You know the kind that comes in the lil cup with the paper lid 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?

I stopped eating ramen like last year, mainly because I was scared that I might die from lack of nourishment.... but since I am poor as hell right now I am going to get back on the good old ramen diet.

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

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
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.

Ramen

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 !!
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. !!!

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.

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).

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!!!

50 cents is alot for ramen!!! I don't eat it anymore, it makes me sick, but when I could down it I just put it in a bowl with some water, sprinkled the flavoring on it and microwaved it stopping it from time to time to mix the noodles for even cooking.

[QUOTE=ca18guy]50 cents is alot for ramen!!![QUOTE]



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.
