Ramen Champ

[injunboy]

how do u like it? some people like ramen dry?
which i dont get. otjher people make it watery

is there a special way that u make ramen?
for me i call myself the world champion ramen
noodle maker. ive seen and heard all kinds of
ways to make it. so heres mine.

i cant make just one packet. i usually make 3
packs at one time. i get a med sauce pan and
fill it to about a third of the way with cool water
haha *my eyes are totally calabrated* and
bring that to a boil.

i dont have any patience so ill walk away for a
bit and when its boiling ill add only two of the
little packets cause all three would be real salty.

ok then turn down the heat to medium i usually
break the noodles in half cause it will boil down
faster lol for next few minutes ill stand there
and mix it up evenly. when the water gets down
to about a quarter inch itll be almost done.

i will usually keep turning the noodles cause i
dont want the noodles to stick but i want the
water to evaporate. before the juice gets to
the bottom ill shut the heat off and cover it for
a minute or so. get a bowl out and tada!

overkill,, heck yeah but delicious

Ramen champ? I was expectingIron Chef - Ramen!!

I can make ramen ALL KINDS of ways! Froms lo mein to alfredo to sweet, crunchy snack.
Stroganoff, hot & sour soup, with hamburger, with vienna sausage, with veggies.

But plain old ramen is super good when you're hungry! I leave the noodles whole and partially drain before mixing in the packet, if I'm in the mood for asian noodles. Or break them in to tiny pieces if I'm in the mood for asian soup.

Who's up for the Ramen Challenge??

Haw! That's what I do, too, though I tend to leave very little water when I pour the noodles. Just enough for the packet to dissolve.

Now, if I want to get really fancy, I add a couple slices of processed cheese. It melts better than the "real" stuff.

Although... Alfredo ramen sounds like a fantastic idea. Mmm!

[NorthofAda]

I usually drain off virtually all the water and then add 1/2 packet of seasoning to package of noodles.

BUT...The best ramen noodle soup recipe I ever had was 1 packet of oriental flavor ramen boiled with 1 hot dog cut up into little pieces, some shredded baby carrot, 1/2 packet of seasoning, and then when the noodles are done throw in a teaspoon of gochjuang (Korean pepper paste) - that's some good eatin'!

[2lineCarrandMorgan]

yep add greed onion , some chopped up meat a boiled egg cut up or to the hot broth add raw egg and stir hot peppers to taste

good eating

Hee! Yeah, the MSG probably isn't a good thing, but oh well.

Actually, have you looked at the nutritional value of those bricks? There's a whole lot of nothing in them. Then again, it's probably not something that's supposed to be eaten straight.

But for the price, it can't be beat (and it's darn tasty to boot).

Jerky is good to break up and put in also, The broth and heat soften up jerky

Shredded and mixed with cream cheese on saltines. Yummy!

Seriously, we had Native influenced food at a gallery night one year. The caterer made canapes with a puree of salmon jerky, cream cheese, and a touch of dill. He piped it into canape shells and garnished with fresh dill.
