I love those Indomie noodles. In addition to the normalish ramen, I love the chicken curry noodle soup version as well as the Hot and Spicy Stir Fried Noodles... Have only tried I think 3 different ones, and all are quite good.

Also, a huge fan of "MAMA Instant Pad Thai Noodles", I got them from the evil empire here, but, will likely pick some more up from another source when I run out.

The recipe calls for basically boiling 14oz water with the noodles added. Meantime I have a method for extracting the 3 liquids from their plastic packaging. I squeeze them onto a flat spatula. When the noodles are done, drain and toss over the spatula, which sits in a bowl. Add the dry packet contents and stir.

I actually cut up a bit of broccoli and cauliflower and add some frozen mixed organic veges (from Costco) to the boiling needles near the end.

I throw in some dried onions (also Costco). With the drain (per instructions) it all turns out dry, not a soup type affair like most raimen, but it's all the spicier therefore.

You can order Mi Goreng directly from them (Indomie.us). I ordered a box of 60 a few months ago and the price was:

$23.99
Shipping
$11.00
Total
USD
$34.99
That's a phenominal deal compared to Bukdak, but 60 for something I haven't tried is a damn lot. I love spicy, but I'm curious about the other flavors. I might go this route thanks for the info, but I think I'll check more asian markets. I bet I can find single packs somewhere.

Yeah, probably.

You can get 10 for $12 at Amazon too

Yea, we just chop an onion, some mushrooms, and maybe some other fresh vegetables and add a couple fried or boiled eggs and possibly some meatballs, shrimp, chicken, or ground beef and call it a day... easy to upgrade for sure.

The Lucky Me Pancit Canton I bought a few times was the same way, called for draining it.

I am even doing it with some domestic raimen that doesn't call for it. I figure the broth is the major source of the sodium content. I'm not high blood pressure, but figure that watching my sodium intake is apt to keep me that way. People get used to salty foods. Myself, I'm so used to lower salt that much of what's typical in packaged foods tastes excessively salty to me.

My kids liked eating ramen that way too, broth is part of the experience for me, and my blood pressure numbers are almost too low so I figure I'm alright.

AFAIK, hard to go too low with BP numbers. People in primitive cultures aren't in triple figures, was what I saw when I researched this online. Last I checked mine was 116/66 IIRC. Real good but not THAT good!

I like my "dry" with enhancements more than the broth.

The first time my doc saw I was at 92/62 she asked if I was light-headed or dizzy and specifically noted in the report that I'd said I was not.

Eating some mac and cheese with some fresh jalapenos from the garden and my mouth is like fire right now. I love the heat so much.

The spicy glazed wings at the grocery store wing bar near my house are phenomenal. They're so good that they're hard to describe.

The problem? Everything else in that bar sucks, even the buffalo wings. They're usually gone by the time I get there.

I could easily double up and go whine in the first world problems thread when I'm denied my spicy glazed wings.
