ramen

[initialdfreak]

whats your favorite flavor? mines beef / roast beef

[Tsukuyomi]

Ramen isn't my favorite, but I would have to say shrimp <3

[Gypsy]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with shrimp too.

[initialdfreak]

mmmm... never had but id say it sounds good

[Syreth]

It all kinda tastes the same to me. I prefer it a bit spicy, though.

[Gabriel 9.0]

Well, I'm not particularly fond of Ramen.

But when I actually have the stuff. I like Beef, Oriental and cheddar flavor.

[Raiden no Kishi]

I usually prepare mine in chicken broth and skip on the packet (too much MSG). It tastes wonderful.

Im going to go with either beef or chicken ramen. I did try shrimp one time, but it didn't turn out so good(Serves me right for getting Instant ramen.). But I would like to try a more spicy kind.

[sharien chan]

I'm special and like it without the flavoring XD

[minakichan]

I prefer udon and Taiwanese noodles...

[eternalprincess]

One word: "Shrimp!"

<3

[SnoringFrog]

I used to always go with the spices ones, but not I prefer something more plain ((Beef if we've got it, last time I used Pork)) and I spice it up myself.

I'm kinda new/dumb to the world of spices though, so I kinda just throw stuff in and see how it comes out. Last time it was Pork Ramen w/ Red Pepper, Rosemary, and this red pepper mix we bought called 'Shichimi Togarashi" ((red pepper, roasted orange peel, yellow sesame seed, black sesame seed, Japanese pepper, sea weed, ginger--that's the full ingredients)). It was quite good.

[ShiroiHikari]

Ramen = me no likey. Too much salt, not enough nutrition.

Dude, SnoringFrog, that Shichimi Togarashi stuff sounds AMAZING. I'd love to have some of that stuff to cook with.

[fairyprincess90]

I used to eat ramen alot...but now I'm on a low sodium diet. Ramen is off limits totally. But Raiden no Kishi seems to have a pretty splendid idea there. hmmmm. I'll have to try it sometimes..

But, anyways. When i DID eat ramen. I loved Shrimp, Chicken, Creamy Chicken, and Oriental flavors the best. =]

[Mr. SmartyPants]

This is the best.

I love the stuff. Not sure where we bought it, because I've never seen it anywhere, but I love finding excuses to use it.

I luv creamy chicken! And here's what I throw in on a regular basis:

Teriyaki sauce, curry powder, a pinch of cinnamon, the flavor packet, one raw scrambled egg (don't worry; it gets cooked once you pour the ramen on top), and frozen peas. By adding the egg and frozen peas, you don't need to use ice to cool down your ramen, and it doesn't dilute the broth. Mmmmm...

[SnoringFrog]

Creamy Chicken is the one I didn't really care for, but w/ what all you added, it sounds like it'd been worth trying again. Heck, that combo of things sounds good for most flavors of ramen, I suppose.

[initialdfreak]

I prefer udon and Taiwanese noodles...

whats udon? is it similar to ramen in any way?

[Song_of_Storms]

Udon: thick, white Japanese noodles made from wheat flour, often served in soup

At least that's what dictionary.com called it. ^^;

[Lilac#18]

My favorite flavors are:


1.Cajun Chicken
2.Shrimp
3.Shrimp Picante
4.Oriental
5.Pork
6.Chicken

[Mithrandir]

I go for the standard Chicken Ramen, with fresh ground black pepper, chili oil, various frozen veggies, and other spices.

[Etoh*the*Greato]

I've totally got a crate of brine ramen in my pantry if anyone seriously wants to drive to STL to pick it up. :p Also, I'd really like to try actual ramen. Like real shop ramen, not the instant junk.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Goodness Kara, that sig is a bit big!

[Sheenar]

I currently have a box (or plat...whatever it's called) of ramen in my dorm --I think 24 packets --half chicken, half beef.
I also really like the ramen that comes in a cup --with the vegetables --I pretty much like all flavors of those. And the won ton soup that comes in a cup is pretty good too --the sweet and sour flavor is awesome (not filling, though).

[NekoChan_C]

I love ramen... all ramen... and this darn thread is making me hungry for ramen right now... *sigh*

[joshua8416]

My Top 3 Foods Are
1 Fried Chicken
2 Calamari
3 Fried Chicken Livers Mmmmmm

[AsianBlossom]

Hmm...can't say I'm too crazy about the "Instant cup" variety of ramen. I think it's because I tend to overcook my ramen so it's really soft...I'm too used to that. XD

I'd also like to try real ramen though. I think I read somewhere that ramen varies according to region, so one is known for such-and-such type of ramen, and another for that such-and-such type of ramen. Kind of like how you can get different types of pizza from New York and Chicago, I guess.

[NekoChan_C]

Because of this thread, I actually sought out a ramen recipe online and bought the ingredients to make my own ramen on Friday... I used shiitake mushrooms, dried kelp, scallions, a boiled egg, chicken slices (was going to use pork, but I tend to be wary of pork when I'm pregnant) and teriyaki sauce/soy sauce... it was fantastic! \(^o^)/
... Now I just have to learn to cook a really good tempura and I'll be set! ^_^

[Technomancer]

I'll go for the curry chicken flavour, or the spicy seafood if I can get it. Usually I mix a lot of other stuff in though like what I had yesterday:

ramen
hungarian roasted red pepper sauce
arugula
diced tomato
chorizo sausage
chilpotle chili powder
