One of life's simple pleasures.
How do you make yours?
Two flavor packets, let it sit for a while, and then drain the broth.
cook noodles, drain, add flavor sachet, squeeze of kecap manis, squirt of sriracha, teaspoon of chicken fat mix top with green onion and a fried egg
>>7830591
>bring water to boil
>add noodles
>cook for three minutes, stirring occasionally
>remove from heat, stir in flavor packet
A little unusual lol but I don't like instructions xD
>>7830607
>using the same water that you cooked the noodles in as the water you use to make the broth
disgusting
Boil teapot of water, dump the water into a bowel which I had my ramen and packaged flavoring in. Add some pre-cut vegetables like green onions. Maybe add in some rice and soy sauce, or just leave it off to the side.

Sorry but this is how broth is made?
I hate all those "life hacks" about adding eggs and fucking beef to shitty Ramen.
Just make some decent noodles with a good broth instead, instaramen is fucking garbage.
>>7830631
Yeah, and don't you want the starch from the noodles in the broth?
If you made it from brand new water it would lose that.

Just had some today, it was p. bomb.
overcooked the noodles but I think that added to the appeal. After cooking, added: half the packet of flavoring (chicken), a teaspoon of oyster sauce, and a tablespoon of peanut butter.
It's just what I had on hand, but the result was delicious.

Are you mad about the easiest, most shelf-stable way to add protein to ramen, literally the only thing it needs to be an excellent meal?
>>7830795
Not everyone cares able "shelf-stable" and have a fridge and freezer to store actual meat.
Hell, even frozen meat is better than peanut butter.
If you cared so much about protein how about a protein shake instead? 30 seconds.

>>7830833
Because you might be so lazy that you don't want to leave the house. That's common on this board.
It also might be an issue of price. This stuff is even cheaper than "a buck or two".
2 packages
drain all the water
stir in mayo
add 1 can tuna
add small can of peas
use about 1 1/2 of flavor packet
crush up some ritz crackers in it
>>7830591
Cook only half the block of noodles at a time with half the flavor packet. There's two servings per package, so a whole flavor packet is 66% of your daily allotment of salt.
Boil noodles in water with fresh shredded cabbage, peeled carrot, and sometimes diced onion. Add flavoring, or sometimes eschew it entirely in favor of a couple teaspoons soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Eat.
>>7830591
I make my own broth: chic/beef/veg bullion, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil (for jap style). Add to that Sriracha and or crushed red pepper, fish sauce, ginger, basil & brown sugar (coconut milk if you wish), for more of a Thai style. Then veg, shredded broccoli/carrot/cabbage mix, shrooms, spinach (all of which I keep on hand frozen in the freezer), if going the this route, some tomatoes. Then frozen shrimp, or thinly sliced beef or chicken. Crack an egg to poach in the broth, or for more jap style poach an egg and reserve in a separate dish, add soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and let sit for a bit, add the lot when ready to serve. Take the packet of ramen and throw in the trash and boil up wheat spaghetti noodles (jap) or linguini in the broth.
>>7830795
I just add dried meat or fish to mine, because I like having the little pieces :) but maybe whole peanuts
What's the best seasoning that isn't super high in sodium?
Or sauces besides sriracha?
>>7830591
With bok choi and imitation crab.
Hot sauce or pepper, garlic, and onions.
I tried the mixing in cheese and it was like eating vomit.
Mixing meat in defeats the purpose of poverty noodles
>dump in whole sodium flavor packet
>Erica's hot sauce

>>7831655
Fry your eggs dippy on the side so you don't have to fuck with getting the noodles and egg done at the same time.
They just overcook if you throw them in.
Chicken ramen (drained, use less seasoning) + peppers + onions + dippy eggs stirred in reminds me of roast chicken flavor and how overtly rich it was.
I will always be happier with celery, carrots and parsley in undrained ramen though.
>>7831202
This has potential
>>7831627
>>7831667
>They just overcook if you throw them in.
Boil the noodles for about 45 seconds before putting the eggs in.

>>7831680

The yolk is the best part. How do you stop them cooking? Just do it separately and appreciate the control. Unless mommy doesn't let you use her cast iron and she doesn't want you dirtying dishes, bust out a frying pan.

you know how you seperate yolks from the whites? just literally do that above your soup,let the whites fall in, and save the yolk for when you sit down.
Here is what I like to do. It only works with the beef flavor though.

right, and If I had to use fresh meat I'd need to leave my house to get it.
>>7831859
Oh wow that sounds like a great workaround. Do you throw the yolks in after cooking is over, cover and let them steam?
>>7831878
Get out
>>7831877
i personally just add the egg whole, but i do enjoy that creamy yolk covering my noodles. i don't like hardboiled or soft kinda yolks. runny all the way. i suppose you could cover with a lid for a hot minute and steam it all the same
>>7831863
>24
>will probably stop being poor in about 4 months
>>7831900
Like I said runny yolks on chicken flavor will remind you of roast chicken flavor, may it rest in peace.
>>7831892
Why?? Instant noodles aren't gonna be healthy regardless of what you do. It tastes good
>>7831936
i never had roast chicken. i liked creamy chicken awwrite though.
>>7831954
>Why??
Instant rice is dry grains. Ramen noodles need water to hydrate them and make them soft. How are you going to make the noodles soft if you add dry rice to them? Do you think that a liquid (water) and a solid (instant rice) have similar properties?
>>7830591
Make the noodles according to the package then put them in a fry pan on medium heat. Pour a couple scrambled eggs over the noodles and stir until the eggs is cooked and the noodles are becoming slightly crunchy. Really cuts back on the saltiness of the seasoning
>>7831971

You wouldn't risk that happening if you'd just crack the eggs directly in the water :^)
But you gotta live up to the cast iron meme somehow, right
>>7832299
They were not crunchy. Not even nearly what you think they were.
You are literally blind.
Why the fuck would I cook eggs until the edges are burnt?
How do you possibly believe I could burn the edges, cook them over easy, and maintain a runny yolk all at the same time?
Do you not understand how eggs cook?
0/10 No logical argument presented. Eggs were soft around the edges.
>>7832392
you are such a condescending cunt, my god
>>7830732
I have two ways.
Spicy Shrimp noodle-
Two cups water, one package of noodles and bullion, chopped carrot, green onion, and bell pepper, Saracha to taste, 8-10 good sized prawns.
Boil like normal. Serves two
Mongolian beef noodle-
Boil water while pan frying some beef with oyster sauce, soy sauce, black or white pepper, splash of rice wine, little sesame oil, dash of sugar, and a medium sized yellow onion.
When your meat is almost done, submerge noodles for 1 min to soften. Then transfer them to frying pan.
Finish cooking meat and mixing together.
Serves two.

I was considering boiling some frozen vegetables to add along with the Ramen, but it seems to be a bit over board, what do you guys think?
>>7832397
>>7832392
For eggs, potatoes, and meat you certainly want a hot pan. If the oil isn't lightly smoking, then you risk eggs and potatoes sticking, and meats not being properly seared on each side which results in dry meat. Also they could've done more than that one egg and the oil was just a little dirty. Then again I don't use non stick pans, so I have to follow this rule.
But the eggs in question were not burnt at all. And yes that's obviously pepper. And if you knew about cooking, you'd know that that is not a truly fried egg. They used water which is how it got that brownish coloration. Fried eggs don't use water to steam the top, instead they're fried on both sides in oil. It's probably the quickest way to cook an egg too.
So stop being a pussy fried cunt, you don't know dick from hamburger.
>>7832441
theres a difference between giving feedback and being a cunt. you're being a cunt.
>>7832453
There's a fine line between liking solid eggs and having no taste.
Just kidding, no there isn't.
>>7830618

>>7832534
Hard boiled eggs are fine.

>>7830591
ACtually i have a real question
does the nutrient information on the back include the broth? if i drink it am i getting more than the 400 calories? is the broth includede? what if I eat the noodle and sink the broth, it it less? how much less?
>>7832671
Pretty sure it includes the broth. It's advertised as "soup" so I would think so anyway. Not sure about how the calories are divided up though.
In bowl with seasoning
2.5 cups water
Microwave 4 minutes
Sriracha
Tapatio
Franks
Soy Sauce
Chives
Basil
I prefer the cup variety.
>>7833315
I ate exclusively the cup variety for several years before trying the other kind. It blew me away how much better the non-cup kind is. It's the only kind I eat now, aside from the cheese flavored kind, which I can only find in the cups.
What are other nearly instant noodles that are also super cheap but not Ramen? Preferably Asian.
>>7833340
>>7833315
slow down fampais I actually intensely prefer the cup kind, the texture of the noodles is SO much finer and softer, the only reason I switched back to packs is ethics of the incredible amount of styrofoam I was wasting
>>7830637
nah you're wrong. Throw in an egg and some veggies, you've added less than 50¢ of food, and now you've got something to look forward to eating.
>>7830621
how do you pick whose bowel you dump into?
>>7833358

Funny enough, this is part of the reason I prefer the non-cup varieties.
>>7833378
I've only ever had Maruchan (since it's the cheapest I can find, and when you're eating cheap shit may as well go all the way), and it does seem to be the same seasoning and noodles. I'm not sure what about it makes such a difference.
>>7833410
I don't microwave it though, I use hot water from a kettle, the package even tells you not to micro wave it.
>>7833410
>microwave
>>7832397
Someone please sauce me.
Have a cute Aria in advance.
why is ramen so popular in prison? how do you even cook it in there?
>>7832380
No of course it's not burnt but that doesn't mean it isn't over cooked, the brown ring and plastic gloss texture is evident that your heat was too high and fast and the whites turned out rubbery. If you cook low and slow you will know the difference we speak of. However some people prefer the rubbery eggs.
>>7833462
hot water tap, let it sit for half an hour wrapped in a towel while you color in or fingerpaint or something
A lot of discussion about getting a proper runny egg in your ramen. Simply drop the egg when the ramen has finished cooking right in the middle and drape noodles over until submerged.
I leave the pan on the turned off burner for about 30 seconds, the whites get cooked and the yolk perfectly runny. No mess no fuss.

>>7833462
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh3zKuTpRdE
>>7833677
well if you buy a case and eat two packs worth with one pack of flavoring making up the broth you're going to have lots of tasty tasty flavored sodium left over to go on bland prison food
and once you've gotten sick of eating that flavor you buy a new case and start eating that noodle flavor with the broth until you get sick of it and eventually you get to a point where you have been through all the flavors
then you start making gross shit out of them
>>7833711
Just for you. How was the past 8 hours anon?
>>7833689
Are you having flashbacks, anon? Is that how Big Bubba instructed you to prepare his "tatters" after your daily beef injection?
>>7833758
So burn. Many mistake.
>>7832671
The nutrition is what you get in when you eat the finished product. Yes that includes the broth you retard. If you drain the broth you consume less of the flavor packet, which is almost all sodium. With the exception of sodium you are dumping out more minerals from the water that came out of your tap than you are nutrients that were in the flavor pack.No the package doesnt know the mineral content of the water you use so it assumes it is zero.
>>7833770
Took you 7 hours straight of cooking eggs to get one semi right eh? But still not good enough to post a clear enough picture to prove its not burnt. Truly pathetic.
>>7832130
unfortunately, since his diet consist of greater amounts of nutrition he probably would be able to.
>>7830591
Shit loads of hot sauce. Maybe some chunks of grilled chicken or steak.
In canada we don't have maruchan. Instead it is サッポロ一番 sapporo ichiban "original flavor". it is a light soy flavored noodle.
Like it says on the packaging.
Sometimes I'll put an egg on top if I'm feeling like a greedy bastard.
Also, I drink the broth afterwards.
I generally prepare it like pic related
>>7834411
Why do so many people think that's gross?
Speaking of which though, I eat it with a spoon and eat the broth FIRST. Then I shovel the noodles down my throat with the spoon.

Improper use of question mark.
>>7830789

>>7834424
How?
>>7832142
How do you did these?
>>7836284
steam the egg on lower heat instead of frying on higher heat, that egg looks like it has a disgusting texture
Ingredients:
2 packs ramen
1 Tbsp. cold butter
1 1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tsp. brown sugar
Optional: Sauteed garlic
This works with the following flavors: beef, oriental, shrimp and in a pinch, pork; although you may find that you need no seasoning at all. Boil your ramens until al dente, drain. Keep the pot, and return to heat. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, the packet, and a touch of water. This small amount will quickly begin to simmer. Remove from heat, swirl in cold butter. You will have a velvetty emulsion sauce if done right. The al dente noodles will still be hot in the colander/strainer. Add them back to the pot and toss. This is delicious. If you’ve more on hand, sauteed garlic works well (just before adding soy sauce), or slightly browned onions or shallots. If you prefer your ramen soupy, prepare sauce in different pan and add to finished soup. I’ve cooked this for many friends, and all love it.
>>7830591
Throw the packet away.
This is for ramen with mushrooms of choice garnished with soft boiled egg
Makes 4ish cups broth so get a pot of appropriate size
Heat: sesame oil in pot
Cook: 3 tbs minced garlic 2 tbs fresh ginger
Add:3 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs mirin
Cook for 1 or 2 min, stir mildly
Add: 4 cups of stock, not broth because the soy sauce will have enough salt in it, choose stock appropriate for the meat you want, I just made this with sausage so I used pork stock
Bring to boil then simmer
Once simmering Add: 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms of choice, shiitake if you can get them.
Simmer for about 10 minutes then keep on low to keep ramen broth warm.
While you're waiting for things to boil etc start cooking your meat of choice however you want. If there is any stuff stuck to the pan deglaze and add it to the broth.
Boil water, add egg for 7 minutes then remove to an ice bath to cool.
Make noodles from the packet.
Combine noodles, broth, and meat in bowl.
Peel and slice egg in half, put in bowl.
Garnish with thinly chopped scallions and jalapeno slices.
Easy enough and tasty.

I used to have a saucepan that would perfectly fit a ramen block. I would add then to a pan with enough water to barely cover the block, bring to the boil and add diced chilli, grated ginger and tiny shredded bits of kale or cabbage. Sesame or Kobe beef were my favourite flavours. Simmer for a few minutes.

Because it tastes good, and makes a cheep staple into an actual meal.
I just tried this last night and it was so good:
I had a bowl of :
"Udon flavor" (whatever the fuck that means) ramen. So I put in about 1/4 to half of the seasoning in the bowl and let it cook with the hot water as usual. Didn't fill it all the way to the water line, just a tiny bit less.
When it's done, I drained most of the water out with a strainer then I put the cooked ramen into a frying pan, using coconut oil as my frier (just a spoon full). I added the rest of the seasoning from the packet+some of my own paprika. When I fried it to my liking, I put it back in its original bowl. I bet it would have tasted hella good with some chopped up peanuts or soy sauce if I had some.
>>7833440
Sauce is mexico.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sot9p4XpRtI
an anon here posted instructions on making a poor man's carbonara using instant ramen (fried type) years ago, but unlike the video above, I think he/she recommended putting in the flavor packets as well. haven't made these in ages, so i can't recall the instructions correctly.
>>7831971
Noooo I meant you boil the noodles in water like you normally would. You cook the rice in a separate pan. Then you drain the water from the noodles and mix the up with the rice.

Maybe in beef. Add before you start boiling the water. Or sautée, but don't forget green peppers.
These do not go extremely well with chicken, but are acceptable.
Use sweet onions and season them separately with salt/pepper.
>>7830591
What I add is always different, but one thing that never changes is I have to let the noodles sit and soak for a long time until they are super soggy. I could never just cook them and eat them.
