Did a search, but i guess the last ramen thread 404ed.
Got some Nissin ramen from a japanese convenience store a few days ago, these appear to have been manufactured in Singapore and come in 116g packets. The chinese convenence stores stock the Nissin Demae ramen type (i think these are exported to China mainly) which comes in smaller packets.
They both use very different noodles, which one is more authentic?
Pic related, its the singapore manufactured one
I like Demae Ramen and none of you fuckers can stop me!
>>14561513
why
>/jp/ doesn't eat ramen anyore
>>14558570
The one you posted. Try and get the kyushu black flavor, it's the best. Demae's sesame oil is still great though (but the noodles itself are bland af)
>>14569065
why are the noodles bad?
Does anyone else put a tablespoon or two of crunchy peanutbutter in their ramen?
>>14569178
I always put an egg in it.
Cheapest way to buy ramen? I'm guessing just buy it in bulk from Amazon.
>>14569734
asian supermarts are usually pretty cheap
>>14569217
Of course, there's nothing special about that
Try peanut butter in it too though (crunchy though, need that extra bit of crunch)
>>14572039
Tfw when I'm allergic to spicy stuff.
Anyone make their own broth? I'm looking for recipes to get ideas from.
>>14572039
>spicy
No. You can't taste shit when your mouth is on fire.
>>14572039
is black really worth paying double over the regular shin ramyun? I get the frozen chukazanmai noodles instead of the regular dried one, but I'm not sure shin ramyun black is worth it.
>>14572039
>>14572159
What does the Black even mean, other than making me say it like the kamen rider.

>>14572039
does the black still come with the dried meat if you get it in korea?
>>14572127
you're not allergic you're just a bitch
>>14572133
shin ramyun isn't even spicy, especially the black version. try these if you want hot.
>>14572159
>>14572163
the black version has two soup powders instead of one, and the dried ingredients are better in my opinion. I like it better but I can't say if it's really worth the price.
>>14572172
that was a good read, thanks
>>14572211
i don't like most spicy stuff usually. The only spicy stuff i like is laksa.
>>14573122
it's just something you get used to. peppers have a lot of flavor aside from the heat so you're missing out if you can't eat them.
>>14558570
I picked up a pack of this (kyushu black) and it was meh. After a few bites I didn't feel like finishing it. It's def no chukazanmai
>>14568995
I've moved on to curry rice
Ramen is too mainstream these days
Just got some Lee x10
bretty gud
>>14579374
>Lee x10
never heard of this brand. the asian grocer nearby only has golden, vermont, and kokumaro curry.
>>14579585
Those are very basic brands, which is typical for what you will find in the US. There are hundreds of brands in Japan though. I had to import this curry. It's an instant retort pack too, which is a bit different than roux blocks. Lee is good if you like spicy.
I'd say Golden is the worst out of those, with Kokumaro being the best
>>14579634
"karai, karai, karai, umai" is it really that spicy?
>>14579634
I usually get golden curry since the other common brands have weird shit like fruit and cheese in them which doesn't sound that appealing. it's disappointing that even the extra hot isn't really hot though. what kind can I get if I want more flavor but still basic sorts of ingredients?
rather eat yak noodles
>>14558570
I never understood how people can like this instant ramen stuff. It is nothing like actual ramen.
>>14580131
Honestly to me it's not even about taste, it's just very cheap and requires no effort to make.
>>14580131
It's cheap and filling. Perfect food for poorfags in education.
The price of ramen(not instant) is around from 600 to 800 yen in Japan.
How much is it in your country?
>>14585407
at a restaurant? ~$12 at the one near my place
>>14585407
I have honestly never seen a place where I could buy "non-instant" ramen. Sadly there is almost no Japanese food here aside from Sushi (which is grossly overpriced).
>>14585432
Yes.
By the way, in Japan, fresh noodles with soup and spices are packed and sold for around 300 yen at stores.
These are almost the same as instant noodles, but fresh noodles are usually boiled separately from the other ingredients.
search 生ラーメン on http://www.amazon.co.jp/
>>14585726
by fresh you mean frozen? they sell those for about 5 bucks (chukazanmai) here at the asian grocer
anyone else tried this? they weren't as hot as I was expecting.
>>14568995
bullshit
>>14569734
No. Unless you live in no mans land there should be a gook supermarket near you. My local chink store sells >>14572039 (wich is my favorite) for under 20 bucks a case and plenty other decent brands (indo mie is fucking awesome)
>>14572039
black is probably the mildest ive tasted from shin. the "gourmet spicy" they sell at wally worlds tho, that shit is spicy as fuck for real.
Enjoy your kidney stones.
Delicious ramen
this one was really good but its not ramen
>>14579374
Bitch, Lee x40 is where it's at.Kidding, that shit is a bit much even for me.
My favorite is Kinkei's stuff, though. The one in the center in pic related is only 200 yen but it kicks the shit out of of pretty much every other instant curry I've tried, and I've tried quite a few.
(I had the one on the left for dinner tonight. Needed some veggies in me. Was good.)
>>14579906
Vermont Curry (with curry and apple) is really great,
just try it once.
It's not weird at all.
>>14579808
It definitely has a noticeable kick, but still "Japanese Spicy," so over-exaggerated. I like spicy food though.
>>14591931
This guy has the right idea with x40
>>14579906
The odd ingredients help complement the flavor
They don't taste odd when they are in it. Try a bunch.
Torokeru is good too.
>>14591967
Also good. It's a bit sweeter
>>14591931
egg plant curry looks quite interesting. these are microwave ready to eat packs? man i wish they sold those here
>>14579359
whats chukazanmai
Gotta love ramen :3
Only brand I have in my pantry. I grew up on this stuff.
sapporo most ichiban ramen
>>14600556
I grew up on lucky me
Nice one Pinoy me too
>>14594512
Yeah, Japan fucking loves eggplant. Eggplant pasta, eggplant stir-fry, eggplant on pizza...
Which is fine by me, because eggplant is a god-tier vegetable that doesn't get enough love in Western cuisine.
It's alright
>>14614151
Very good for making Ramen, highly suggest avoiding the goopy sauce though, as it makes things unedible trough the pain it creates.
You know that Futaba Channel has a board dedicated *just* to Ramen?
>>14572039
black is a meme
jin ramen is better
Anybody tried the Nissin Soba?
Bought this on a whim at my local Asian market. It's now easily my favorite ramen.
>>14579374
Ive wanted to try making curry rice but I always get confused about about what kind of rice I need, all the stuff my mom buys is just plain brown rice
>>14621279
Whatever you've got will do anon
Sapporo Ichiban is easily the best ramen (especially the shio-flavor).
>>14623274
Yeah it's been my go to now for simple cheap ramen, shits good
genuine ramen
>>14628118
Looks like pho
>>14628118
Looks like a nasty soup you would get at one of those small town Asian resturants since the owners are Korean but they sell "ramen soup" that the local weebs eat up because they have no other options available within a 2 hour radius.
>>14628299
ramen is originally chinese anyway
>>14628319
Yes, but that's no excuse for a disgusting looking soup in >>14628118
I honestly thought it was caldo de pollo in the thumbnail because of how messy it was, but then I saw all the bean sprouts.
Is there such a thing as instant ramen that is supposed to be healthy? Not that I plan on eating it every day, but I'd like something warm if I'm sick (thats not homemade/the standard).
>>14558570
how do i cook ramen noodles that are not freeze dry. they come in bundles and i cannot nonstick them
>>14630089
Boil in water > drain > add more boiled water with the sauces/flavors
Thats if you want to do it the "right" way, but you can just boil it straight and add the sauces/flavors. The only bad part is that you'll have a lot more starch in thee soup.
