Ramen Noodles

good ole beef is what i like, and i just stick it in a bowl with water and micro that shit

i'll show ya a noodle

i do the same. beef.

Heres what ya do.

1 packet favorite flavor ramen
1 chicken breast, frozen or fresh
1 head of Bok Choy
1 yellow onion
1 green onion
1 tbs sesame oil
1 tbs Cock Sauce (the red chili stuff in all the Pho restaurants)

Fill your largest bowl up with h2o until its about a 1/2 inch from the top. If you have a dedicated ramen bowl like I do, you will already be able to gauge how much water you need. Get that shit to a boil, but in the meantime, defrost (if needed) the chicken breast, and cut into 1/4 inch strips, removing any fat and crap. These can go into the boiling water for now to add to the stock. Chop up the Bok, the green onion (small slices are better!) and the big yellow onion (take one thin slice of this, as thin as possible). The water should be boiling now, and if you added the chicken scraps, remove them now. Toss in the packet of noodles (NOT THE SEASONING, and NOT the shit at the bottom of the bag). Now, pressure is on, you have 60 seconds. Take your bowl, add the seasoning sauces (sesame, cock sauce, and if classy, 1 shake sesame seeds) into it. After you're done, and approx 60 has passed since the noodles went in, PUT IN THE CHICKEN. Let it cook for 1 min, then add the onion, wait 30 seconds, then add the bok choy, then the green onions. If you get as good as I am, you should be able to time it so that the green onions just get a quick blast of boiling water to de-crisp them. As soon as they are deemed done, add the seasoning packet, quick stir, (taste that shit to make sure its al-dente), pour it into yer bowl!

For noodles, you want to be between two parameters - if they taste starchy, welcome to all that is top ramen. If they lift out of the soup a bit rigid, put em back in for more boiling. If they go straight, OUT NOW. You dont want mush. Remember, they will cook a bit in the soup, especially if you have to take time to transfer your brimming bowl over to the TV room.

I recommend a large bowl that can fit 4 cups of water easily. I also recommend chopsticks (perfect stir and noodle tasting tools) and a porcelain spoon. You may think that last utensil is a bit metro, but ceramic dissipates heat MUCH quicker than metal, and the spoon holds much more broth. Make sure you have a towel under your bowl before you pour the soup, as the sides can get real hot, especially (as before) if you have to make your way into the TV room.

For variations, go with tofu instead of chicken (same instructions, just replace the word chicken with tofu), add furikake to the top (yum!), or (for the daring), do the shrimp flavored stuff and add tako (octopus). In my experience, its best to stay with the flavoring packet of the meat you are adding, so pork (finely sliced!) with pork, beef (finely sliced!) with beef, but with the addition of the "Cajun Chicken", "Roast Beef" and "Chicken Mushroom" heres the rule - if the meat is the same as the meat flavoring on the package, it will taste great. Otherwise... ehhhhhh.

Also, one cleaning note - Ramen seasoning sticks to pots like shit, so make sure after you pour that you at the very least fill up the pot with water and set it in the sink to soak. A hot pot is easier to clean than a cold one, and I usually just do the clean then since the soup is too freaking hot to eat. Much luck and i-tadakemasu!

So I moved to the bay area in cali around a year ago. I liked asian food then, but I had no idea how much I was missing out on/hadn't yet experienced.

I never would have believed it then, but I now will pay 11.50 for a bowl of ramen. No, it's nothing like oodles of noodles, and yes, it is f*#%ing amzing. I'm sure a lot might hear that and think, wtf, but believe me, it makes sense. Apparently, in Japan, ramen is on a whole other level. There are ramen shops everywhere, and it is about 100x better than any noodle packet concotion you'd get in the states (not that that means much, they do cost like 39 cents). But the point is, those are just a cheap imitation of a very popular food there.

It just so happens that in the bay area, the asian population is high enough that some japanese style ramen places exist, and god damn are they good. If you've read this far and your'e still like, "over $10 for ramen? You must be nuts." Read some of the 438 yelp reviews santa ramen has, here, http://www.yelp.com/biz/santa-ramen-san-mateo, and you might understand.

i like chicken, oriental, or beef and i dont drain all the water. cup noodles gives you the perfect water to noodle ratio so i get those alot

Ramen Noodles are bad for you.

With that said, I used to drain the water and add the flavor packet with butter. Sooooooooo good.

i wish we had ramen noodles here, they sound nice

where do you live? they should be in your local grocery store

i usually leave the broth and add like garlic seasoning and pepper and all kinds of good stuff.

^in england dude
we dont have half the stuff you do!

Haha. Bro, Ramen is a brand; not a Japanese dish/type of noodle.

im spoiled i get the huge pack from sams club that come in there own little Styrofoam  cup.   i add boiling water, wait a couple of minutes and chow down

i like to scramble eggs. then cook the noodles, drain the noodles and put the eggs in. and now you have that lao main stuff (spelling?).

I am in school right now and I am dying for some ramen.

son ur an idiot, why dont u look up what Ramen is and maybe ull find out why the brand is called Ramen too. and Rowen knows wats up

No dude, its a Japanese cuisine. Our Japanese teacher had us watch this Japanese musical about Ramen.

Oh my bad ^ ^^. I've never heard the noodles called that before though. No need to get fresh wit it.

Oriental is the best. 

Word. I was over in Japan a few years ago. It makes the Raman crap we have here into a huge joke. Raman in Japan is AMAZING. The noodles are so delicious and filling, they give you this huge ass bowl with a bunch of different things mixed in.

The only thing that sucks is the fish cake, they almost all have fish cake in them. I steer far away from those bad boys.

drain all the noodles out, then load it with everyflavor there is, its way good. but make sure you have a lot of noodles or there would be a lot of extra sauce.

your not supposed to drain the water.

yeah you are, at least some of it.

just plain chicken and no drain

You mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamaboko
 
? That stuff is awesome.

worddd

ba da . da da da

beef. so good. but the trick is you only put in about 1 and 1/2 to 1 and 3/4 cup of water so it doesnt dilute the flavor. sooo good.

Nah man, shits gross.

im bout to go eat some ramen

awww i wanna try some :(

I normally just get a cup o noodles and chicken flavor is the best.

BUT if I'm cooking ramen, i boil 2 cups o water and put the noodles in until they are soft, and then put in the flavoring.

haha as soon as i read the thread title i knew you would post










ramen noodle nazi

yeah thats what i mean, u dont want them dry

chicken and a lil drained and then hot sesame oil, its not that spicy but very good
but for instant lunch which is like the same shit i put in creale seasoning and cayan pepper
and if i want some luisianna hot sauce

lime flavor with shrimp....

louisana is the shit

no way, long live tapatio

Ive never heard of these, but i googled them and they look like the same thing as mr.noodlesÉ They sell them in Canada rightÉ (É is a question mark im just having some problems with my keyboard)

ep pros are my favorite kind of noodles....

chicken flavored
2 cups of boiling water
in pot on stove
about 10 minutes cooking time until the noodles are nice and soft

chronic

10 minutes???

that would make it tooo soft. sounds nasty as hell.

i used to eat them straight outta the package with the stuff sprinkled on it..just dry.

but now:

pot of water, ramen in
allow to boil
when it boils, take off,drain
dump flavor on
put on a tablespoon of water to keep them lubed up

enjoy


for 10 cents each how can you go wrong?

oriental
salt
barely any water

i like chicken flavoured.. i boil the noodles, drain the noodles, add the flavouring, then put some hot sauce on it and eat

ramen is the best invention and ski food ever. nothing hits the spot more than a bowl of ramen after shredding a long and hard day
i microwave the water and noodles for 3 mins
add the chicken flavor packet
stir and eat

Hahahahaha that's great. Almost enough to add to my sig. It's true though! They are so unhealthy.

    well first i start off with getting the noodles and then break up  the noodles in the package in put in the bowl then ill fill up the bowl with water after that i stick it in the dirty microwave and put it in for 3 minutes due to the high altitude that i live at. After i hear the bell ding i take it out (sometimes its to hot to touch). Next i put in the seasoning preferably chicken. I'll add some tonys' seasoning to it as well. And then some tabasco that makes the ramen and then i ENJOY!




 Ps im out of ramen :(

k so im officailly tryin some ramen dumpin the water our then putting butter with other assortments on it sounds so delish!

i gotta try that two..sounds good....i put it in stir fry sometimes and thats good

chicken on the stove top
