Ramen thread.
No.

Ck hates ramen threads. Its one food poorfags can afford go figure. Personally i like shin ramyun ramen. The noodles are thicker and they have a better texture than top ramen. I like the fact that the noodles are in a circular shape so it fits in the pot more properly. I like to add cilantro at the last second. Slice in some onions and throw them in the last 20 or 30 seconds of cooking. I dont always have meat scraps to throwin my ramen but when i do its always tasty. Im not too crazy about putting an egg in the ramen. It never cooks enough for the yolk to get hard so when it breaks it contaminates the broth with thick yellow disgustingness
Probably the best one.
>>7224412
fuck off faggot. ramen is king when you're in uni.
I'm sick of typing out the same list of suggestions for making your ramen into an actual meal in all these threads. So I'll just say add some vegetables and an egg to your ramen to elevate yourself out of pure poverty-mode
Anyone ever tried this?
Supposedly it's spicy as shit
Just wondering if it tastes any good
>>7224532

Ramyun is how you say ramen in Korean

Here's food for thought: type it once, copy paste it into a notepad/word doc, copy paste when said thread appears again instead of shitposting.
>>7226013
That picture is fantastic
>>7225996
It is spicy as shit but has a really nice flavor otherwise with thick noodles. Your butthole will hate you later though.
>>7226013
Those guys look like they're ready to oppress some colored folk!
this shit. also the lime shrimp flavor. and shin ramyun

Pic related is the best instant ramen I've had.
>>7224532
why not crack it in while the water is boiling, and then add the noodles after so you'll get a fully cooked poached egg.
alternatively, cook the egg the way you like, then put it in your bowl.
>>7224406
This with some peanut butter and mushrooms added in.
Have i been doing it wrong all this time ?
I just pit the puck and spices in a bowl, then pour boiling water over it, and then put a plate on as a lid. Then come back in 5 min.
Post some real ramen, anons. not that instant crap.

this looks ok, but take the time to crisp the fat on those pork belly pieces and it's many times better
>>7225754
Hot and Spicy is also delicious.
These are really good if you can find them.
>>7226159
chili is my favorite maruchan ramen. It kind of puts their other "spicy" flavors to shame
>>7224406
I can normally eat spicy food, but for some reason I got a pack of these noodles and they were waaaay too hot for me to eat.

did they discontinue this? the creamy sauce makes it much more filling than regular instant noodles
>>7228525
Just add your own creamy suace. ;)
>>7225996
Love it, sometimes stop by the asian grocery store to pick one up as a reward when I finish a big project or exam.
>>7228525
You can order a case off Amazon.
The gf did recently and I didn't see what the fuss was about.
Anyone know of a good overseas ramen i should try?
>>7225996

I just bought some packs of ramen and chow mein. they better be good or we'll nuke them again
>>7225996
Isn't this the same brand? Would these taste the same?
>>7228811
Decent haul
>>7228811
I tried a few different Lucky Me! brand flavors just recently and they were all pretty mediocre.
Sorry anon.
>>7228849
The garlic duck one is my favorite.
Extra Hot chow mein is next up
The big shin ramyun isn't as good as I thought. Sapporo Ichiban brand is okay, I'd rather Mama or Lucky Me stuff
>>7224406
i tried this brand last week from advice on /ck/... my stomach was fucked for two days.
>>7228811
the chinese one in the middle you will regret buying.
I was drunk last night and mixed ramen with chicken dumpling soup I had made earlier, it was delicious
My time has come...
Im the Ja/ck/ of Ramen
>>7225754
Am I the only one that prefers the soup version?
>>7228895
Noodles: These are one of the best noodles Ive had the privelidge of eating. Running at around 4mm, these are the thickest of the 짬뽕 ramen packs that have been recently released. These great thick noodles are incredibly chewy with lots of curves that hold some soup and oil. Bringing all the flavours to your mouth with every slurp.
Veggies: cabbage, laver, red pepper, dried squid. An interesting combination that rehydrated quite well. The squid and laver brought lots of seafood flavour but did not overpower the broth. The squid pieces were fairly large and the chewy meat was welcome inbetween bites of noodle. The cabbage was in nice large pieces that truly satisfied. I enjoyed the red pepper for bringing a different texture, and a touch of its natural flavour.
Broth. Boy we have a winner here. Dominant flavour is liquid smoke. A tad overwhelming but brings you to smoky heaven. Good amount of spice works well with the smoke. The squid flavour lends itself really well.
A seafood flavour fest that has you craving more. Tastes a bit like 닭발 in the best way possible. Not oniony or peppery or garlicy. Just a chili pepper spice with support by the smoky flavour.
>>7228867
1. Shin Ramyun
2. The one from Indonesia (top left)
3. Mama duck flavor
I did mine on the stovetop with boiling water instead of microwave. I think that makes a difference with the final result
>>7224406
Made the mistake of buying the Nissen stuff once, it is fucking rancid.
I have totally gone off ramen, it is really salty and just tastes awful.
I've never been one to actually like ramen.
The closest I've gotten is the Yakisoba Cheddar garbage.
Any tips to at least stomach it?
how should i prepare meat for ramen?
>>7229138
I like to put a slice of bacon in with the water boiling, then add the seasoning packet. Haven't tried other meat.
>>7228908
They're pasta you plebeian. Noodles aren't even a thing, where did it come from?
>>7226013
>he lives in a place where they call university school
>>7225996
the're pretty spicy, the spiciest noodles I have ever had. Everytime I get a 5 pack the korean cashier always asks me if I know what I'm buying. If you don't like/can't handle quite abit of chili avoid them.
if you add bok choi and chicken to it you've got a real decent meal
How does shin ramen black compare to the original? I can't find any and it costs way too much to get them imported to Aus.
>>7224406
I prefer the black label version. It seems to have a better flavor while not being so spicy your asshole puckers from just smelling the seasoning like the red label one.
Also if you can't handle the spice eat this soup with a Dewshine Mountain Dew. The flavors don't really go together but it's not awful and the drink kills the heat instantly
>>7226407

Personally I like picking up a roasted chicken from the store and using the meat in the ramen cuz I'm too lazy to cook a whole chicken. Scallions, some enoki mushrooms, splash of soy sauce. Good shit.
>>7226189
Thanks anon. I was feeling nauseous and this was the post that made me puke. I feel a lot better now, so thank you for that.

What is the best kind of Ramen that you can buy in Canada? Maruchan is $80 for a single bag here to get it shipped from the US.
>>7227261

Best instant is fresh and refrigerated.
Is there a flavor difference between chicken and roast chicken ramen? I've never really been able to tell
Does anyone know of any low calorie ramen that's available in the UK?
Who /mamanoodle/
I have some leftover turkey from Christmas that I've been shredding and making pho with, it's pretty good.
>>7232874
buy a spiraliser and make noodles out of vegetables. instant ramen is just flat carbohydrate, there's no real way to make it 'low calorie'.
>>7232919
Are those vegetable noodles then cooked like regular ones, or how does it work?
>>7232879
Only ramen in my cabinet.
>>7232871
More salt in the roast one probably
>>7232879
This is god tier. Add a drop of sesame oil and it's perfect
>>7232879
I like this brand. The duck/garlic one is good. That particular spicy shrimp they carry at walmart so it's easier to buy. All the packets piss me off, I want to get every unhealthy bit out of them.
>>7226407

>japanese style ramen
????
Ramen threads on here are basically like if you were to have a "pizza" thread and only post frozen pizzas
>>7233543
i get the shrimp one at walmart too anon also i find that if you add a little of the broth to the packet with the paste it gets the stuff out more
>>7228490
how the fuck is the soup concentration shin ramyun's fault?
also you're supposed to drop the egg in and let it soft boil, why would it be snotty unless you made it that way?
>>7233918
It's funny because there is a frozen pizza thread right now. People don't always give a complete shit about nutritional value or culinary expertise over what they personally like, shocking I know

I'm trying to make from scratch ramen at home. Can I use some kind of extruder to make the noodles instead of rolling and cutting them?

At the lack of a response, I did some experimentation this afternoon with a ball of generic egg/salt/flour/water pasta dough.

>cutting flattened dough with a pizza cutter didn't work, inconsistent as fuck
>flouring a single plastic cutting mat and rolling dough flat with a floured rolling pin and then cutting it into little strips with a long straight edged knife did work.
I bought a hand crank meat grinder / pasta extruder about an hour later. Not bad for a first try.
>>7232130
Update, shit was baller
Probably not gonna have it again for a while but it was pretty damn good. Had almost like a spicy taste but not super strong at all. Very tasty
>>7236822
Watch that like, one video. 16,000 noodles I think it's called. It's about rolling your dough in a lot of flour and cutting it in half.

hopefully someone can answer this soon.
I usually buy maruchan ramen, and I went to asian market to buy
>pic related
and it came with this paste packet, do i add that while I am cooking the ramen or after?
>>7237623
All the times I've gotten a paste packet, It's to be added with the seasoning packet after you pour the boiling ramen into the bowl.
If you're microwaving it, microwave the noodles in water first, and as it comes out, put in the seasoning packets.
vegetable packets are added before cooking.
I didn't know you're meant to drink the water like a soup until last week
>>7237627
i usually did that but it seems the brand i bought tastes like shit, i guess im use to maruchan and nissin, any other brands i should try from the asian market? it seems like these noodles don't absorb the flavoring.
>>7231065
>so spicy your asshole puckers from just smelling the seasoning like the red label one
seriously m8
red label is hardly spicy at all
maybe it's because i'm a spic
>>7237649
You're a guy who buys habaneros from the supermarket. No commercial food is as spicy as a habanero. You have to find specialty stuff after that, and you get used to it, you build up your tolerance.

mmmm
also mmmmm
>>7231914
Judge all you want, but as long as it's not seafood flavor, I think it's good. Plus, it really helps flush my digestive system out. Gives me the most amazing shits ever. Like, if you feel constipated, it will clear the fuck out of your system.

The Bear - Smoker's best friend and personal muscle. Loves to cuddle and break necks.
Doctor Dingleberry - Even without his eyes he can peer into the souls of men.
Count Pennytits - No one knows where he came from. Can stretch his limbs farther than stretch armstrong and take the form of a canadian warbler.
Jeremiah Wellington the Third - They say he's the reason the British took over India. Gets the jump on enemies by camouflaging himself in piles of shit.
The Accountant - Jewish.
Le Operateur - He's so damn good with a gun that they banned HIM in Britain.
Gideon Gravy - Master mechanic and chef. Can also take the form of a canadian warbler.

Mouth went numb and eyes watered somewhat after eating.
It's a little spicy I guess. Had worse though so can't complain. Great stuff.

Does most of the sodium in instant ramen come from the seasoning packet?
Pic related is probably my favorite, followed by Shin Ramyun. Usually add some frozen shrimp near the end of cooking.

>>7247094
You shouldn't be eating any of those any of days
I don't know why they tell you to add the seasoning last, do it first and it cooks into the noodles.
>>7247106
Then you end up with shitty water.
Ramen isn't tradicionally cooked with all the spices, so they're allocated to the broth. But whatever.
>>7225996
Mix a tiny bit of the spice packet and build it up per preference.
SO and I tried to man ourselves through it and ended up chucking the whole thing. Don't underestimate the spiciness.
>>7232061
Just get whatever cheap shit you can find. Maruchan is like 12 cents a packet, 20 for the cup version

Don't get me wrong-- I love their gyoza or chahan set as much as the next guy, but their ramen is only a slight step above cafeteria level.

>>7248907
fuck you, thin noodles are way better. They don't get mushy like the thick ones. They cook quicker. You can snap the brick in half more cleanly.
Rice noodles are absolute worst behind Maruchan
>>7248926
i didn't know it was possible to have taste this shit. you must be eating them wrong
This shits great. spicy as hell
I just bought a 16 pack case of this for $17.17 at Amazon. It was a reorder. I enjoyed them quite a lot last time.
>>7249211
Never thought i'd see the day someone else would talk about Wai Wai, my home currently has an entire box of it and maybe some vegetable ones in the cabinet.
They're good, the company puts flavour in the noodles themselves, and other spice packets.
I personally like eating them raw because i don't like eating thin noodles, if they started selling their noodles as thick as shin ramyun it would be great.
Best is Nissin Soba noodles Classic flavour, no contest
>>7238279

The only way to eat ramen is boil water break the maruchan picante chicken shit into four blocks and let it cook for like 2 or 3 minutes that's all it takes. Dont put seasoning in while it cooks you have to drain the water then put seasoning on just the noodles. The noodles are disgusting when you cook them too long they get too soft and slimy and gross as fuck my way is the best way ever
I don't have a picture, but our local asian market carries fresh/refrigerated Sun ramen. They had three flavors, and I got the shoyu and tonkotsu flavors. Literally, the best ramen I've ever eaten.
