in a bowl? i think i've ate that before.

the one I've eaten like that was just in a larger Top Ramen type bag and got it from the Asian Market and it was quite tasty. It had a picture of a red pepper on the bag.

boil noodles, then dump the water, reboil water, then add soup+other stuff like veg/meat/egg and then the noodles back in
best done with two pots on boil or a kettle.

the salt warnings are weird.
does anyone really drink all the soup?
i never do, i figure that means most people only consume a fraction of the salt indicated on the nutrition label:p

You guys act like its so hard to boil egg noodles and add them to a can of chicken broth (or chicken bouillon). In the long run its just as cheap (if not more so) and is infinitely more healthy. Egg noodles only take like 5 minutes to boil, so you are looking at like what....2 more minutes than ramen to have REAL food. Toss in some frozen peas (again dirt cheap) and maybe some egg whites and you've got yourself a meal there. Egg drop >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *ahem* >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *my fingers hurt but i still need to make a point*>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ramen

Chicken!!!! Damn I can eat that stuff w/o even cooking it. Just munch on the block of noodles, and suck down the flavor packet afterwards.

Since you have this experience in ass tasting...I am not going to argue.

I do like ramen, although I don't eat it as often as my wife.

Most of you F#(s need to get a life and stop thread crapping. If you don't like ramen, move along and let those who do talk about it.

I love the spicey Ramen noodles. Chili lime shrimp, picante chicken. Yum.

*RAMEN TIP*
I never thought of this, but the wife suggested breaking up the noodles while they are still in the package before I cook them so they're not crazy long in the bowl.

Boil with frozen veggies until the noodles are almost soft.
Drain and throw away the packet.
Stir fry with oyster sauce and soy sauce.
Plate it and add Sriracha for yummy goodness!

If youre breaking the Ramen, don't cook it. Open the bag on one side, pour the Spicy Powder in the bag, shake, and eat the uncooked Ramen coated with the spicy stuff. Its pretty damn good
