>>1653

i'm gonna look for this thanks for posting anon.

>>1656

It's really good, and spicy, I mixed it with a can of chicken vegetable soup and it's really great that way.

take care

>>1658

Agreed, it's good & has a pretty big portion size. If the spice is too much for you, just put in half & it's still got a decent amount of heat.

I microwave my ramen in a bowl of water for the average lunch, but sometimes it gets clumped together, y'know? Unless the noodles are strong enough to not dissolve in the broth, I drain it. So, I put in a little cap-full of olive oil with it all during the nuking process. It makes broth-less noodles retain the savory flavor without drying out too fast.

>>1659

>I microwave my ramen in a bowl of water for the average lunch,

I cook mine on the stove top.

>>1672

Thank you good suggestions. I like to add some meat and or vegetables or an egg makes it really good. :)

>>1659

I use an induction burner (stove top), or you can use a rice cooker also makes great soup.

>>1659

I use an electric kettle, works perfectly, and you don't need to pay attention like when you do it on the stovetop.

Just heat water, dump on noodles, cover, wait.

>>1675

> I like to add some meat and or vegetables or an egg makes it really good. :)

That actually sounds really good.

>>1694

>I was skeptical because frozen ramen sounded odd to me

Yeah same that is why i asked i'm just use to eating top ramen i guess.

My favorite homemade ramen:

Knorr Tomato Bouillon with Chicken Flavor

https://www.target.com/p/knorr-174-granulated-bouillon-tomato-chicken-15-9-oz/-/A-15211241

Or:

Seasoned Vegetable Base

https://www.betterthanbouillon.com/products/product-detail.aspx?productid=18

I put water to boil angel hair pasta or whatever kind you like. When It's cooked

I take some of the hot pasta water, put in

a bowl. Use one or the other soup bases above to flavor the water according to taste.

Then I add either Tamari soy sauce or Ponzu

for a rich salty taste.

And some Cholula Hot Sauce or Curry.

You can make your own with, Ancho, and

Madras Sambar Masala and whatever else

you like to taste. From here it's your own recipe, you can add meat, vegies, egg etcetera.

It's really wonderful way to make your own simplified Ramen with everything you like.

Have fun :)

I tried this spicy chicken ramen flavor: https://pasteboard.co/GUA1oBr.png

My aunt brought it over a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea it was spicy until I tried it. I didn't think it would be THAT spicy. My mouth was on fire. What sucks is that there was no milk at the time. But it was so good tho.

I also tried this one called chapagetti: https://pasteboard.co/GUA32MF.jpg

I talked about the black bean noodles that I mentioned: >>1067

But the chapagetti was terrible. It tasted nothing. Would prefer the one I mentioned: >>1067

It's more flavored and it's close to the real thing.

If I really want to dedicate more on the ramen stuff, I would probably import the stuff that Japan has.

This one is so good: https://www.airfrov.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Screen-Shot-2016-04-13-at-1.21.51-PM.png

That stuff is really good.

Do you guys know of any good vegetarian instant ramen? The vegetable flavours usually have shellfish in them so I have to know specific ones to get.

First: What, Exactly, is Ramen?

Ramen noodles are made from wheat flour and oil, usually with a few extra ingredients for flavor, such as salt, or additional fillers such as potato starch - and that's it!

All these ingredients are 100% vegetarian, and even 100% vegan!

So, then what's the problem with eating ramen noodles as a vegetarian or even as a vegan? It's the seasoning packets that accompany the noodles which are nearly always decidedly not vegetarian, as they usually contain such appetizing ingredients as "powdered cooked chicken" or "dehydrated beef extract". To be 100% clear: The ramen noodles themselves are vegetarian, but the little seasoning packets are usually not. But, keep reading…

The one major exception to this rule is Top Ramen brand Oriental flavor, which contains no animal ingredients at all, including in the flavoring packet and is both vegetarian and vegan. So by all means, stock up on this vegetarian ramen brand! Look for the blue Top Ramen packages at your grocery store. Top Ramen's chili flavored ramen is also vegetarian and vegan, though it is not as common as the Oriental flavor.

I use this to make my own soup base, it's organic vegetarian and add whatever else I like.

>find a local buisness that does groccery delivery make a shopping list and stock up on the same stuff at 25cents a pack.

I'm still new to online shopping once i figure it all out i probably will just have all of my groceries delivered to me so i no longer have to actually go to the store at night also i wouldn't call Amazon a complete scam i've bought some great stuff off of there so far.

>chicken ramen

>peanut butter

>milk

>chili oil

little experiment that turned out pretty good, but way too hot, too much chili oil

>>3952

Well of course refrigerated freight is very expensive. Amazon is a warehouse dealer and anything that doesn't go through the established channels is going to be expensive. The grocery thing is really just them trying to further establish themselves at the online Walmart. It's an experiment and they don't have the direct resources to ship groceries fast and cheap because those channels simply don't exist though they will in the future. They're already competing with actual Walmart because they have a service where you can simply order anything in the store and then pick it up hours later. This is just a matter of distribution. The smart move is being a middleman between retail and consumers for a reasonable rate. Their already are many businesses that do personal shopping but i'm not aware of any doing it on a significant scale and for a reasonable margin. All these personal shopping apps are really just gimmicks people use a couple times and forget about because they're expensive as fuck.

Goodbye elder hikki

>Goodbye elder hikki

Hes probably still lurking but oh well.

I love shin ramyun. I entirely exist on shin ramyun, eggs, canned chili, and sardines. Anyone know where to get shin ramyun cheaper? It's nearly a dollar a pop on amazon, quite expensive.

back in my acute hikki days I would subsist off of Indomie Mi Goreng ramen. It was like 50c. a packet and came with fried onions. Sooooo good.

>>5203

>shin ramyun

That shit is very good.

>>5213

> I just drink tea or coffee to keep the hunger away.

I drink water to do this.

>>5215

>I drink water to do this.

Water makes me piss too much to only drink water all day.

>>5213

>I hate instant ramen would rather starve than eat it.

Nothing wrong with that, everyone has different tastes. An anon in another thread suggested eating oatmeal to stave off hunger, which is actually very effective and a healthy alternative to ramen.

>I just drink tea or coffee to keep the hunger away.

I do this too. What kind of teas do you like anon? I think my personal favorite is a tea called 'Masala Chai' which is an India-based tea. It has cinnamon, ginger, clove, and some other things and it smells wonderful.

I eat cheap generic bulk-pack macncheese. I mix in cream of chicken from a can with the cheese sause and eat that. If canned chicken is on sale I mix in about 1 10oz can of that

Yeah, we only have Nissan, Maru, and Too here. But we also have all their byproducts like yakisoba also.

I actually eat for chicken nuggets and ravolis then instant ramen but I still keep a stock pile of it.
