LET THE GAMES BEGIN
Nissin, but you gotta get the Demae Ramen, not that Top Ramen shit.
Go to your local Asian market and they will have a very wide selection of instant noodles that are much better than either of these.
Also grab some LaoGanMa Spicy Chili Crisp to put in it, you can thank me later.
I’ll never forget when my girlfriend introduced me to Lao Gan Ma crispy chili in oil. Honestly salivating a little just by thinking of it right now. I ate it just about every day for a week, after first trying it. And the smell! Absolutely divine. I do need to keep it wrapped in 3 bags though, for it not to smell up the entire fridge, haha.
Indomie, MAMA are great. Any other names that come to mind?
I can’t seem to find plain noodles that taste as good as the noodles that come in these little packets. Do you have a brand or type you’d recommend?
Shin noodles are really good, but they are kind of spicy, they also come in packs like those pictured.
Thanks, I love those. They are a little spicy, I agree.
I ended up trying some nissin demae and they weren’t spicy at all and were super delicious
For the actual stovetop? Maruchan.
For the “In-a-Cup” variety? Nissin.
But what I really want is Nongshim Shin Black.
Shin black is so far above everything else it’s almost embarrassing. Only other ramen thay I sometimes crave is the Nissin black garlic tonkatsu.
Have you tried Shin Gold? I recently discovered it and it’s my new favorite!
I have not yet. Definitely will try if i see it, although I don’t typically go for the chicken flavors
This guy noodles
Hm, I’m not sure. I think I’ll have to see the noods as a proof.
Good lord, when you add the bone broth packet…
The opposite for me: maruchan in a cup and nissin in stovetop. I also like the rhin ramyon but prefer the regular red spicy one (the OG).
Ah yes, lets name the spaghetti after body parts
What, you don’t like scrottini?
Only with Alfredo sauce
Everybody ought to have two boxes of spare elbows. You never know.
Also the only spaghetti here were named, you guessed it, spaghetti. So I’m’a sure you’ra keeping youra spaghetties in your panties, eh?
Yes, together with my’a two pieces of gnocci. Would you’a lika somee sauce with that?
Eat it raw, drink the boiling water. Look across the table and call your horrified friends/relatives/coworkers pussies.
Not deep fried in vegetable oil or lard and much healthier for you while costing less afaik.
Indomie :p
Indomie is my back-up Ramen
BEHOLD
A limited edition Maruchan ceramic cup, as proof of my allegiance.
I’m actually boiling some noodles rn XD.
If you can find it, look for the Indonesian version of ramen from Indomie. In my opinion, so much better - it actually has other flavors than salt! ;)
Agree. These are baller.
Indomie comes with its own cute little oil packet suspending oil-soluble spices. =D
Shin, Black
Maruchan or who?
*drops mic. </thread>
🔥 🔥 🔥 Roasted 🙆
Roasted Chicken flavor!
Indomie!
Buldak because their chicken flavor is artificial 🥰
Maruchan, without question.
Between these two? Maruchan- but Shin Ramyun is pretty fire https://a.co/d/7eg3qSl
I like Shin Ramyun for sure, just more expensive. Samyang 2X Buldak is my favorite, spicy though. 🔥 🥵
I love Buldak Ramen. I haven’t had a bad flavor yet. I just had the Yakisoba flavor today for lunch. It was good, but not great. I think Rosé or the original are my favorites.
Do the noodles themselves taste different to you? I like Buldak spicy flavor packets, but the noodles themselves are very off putting and I can’t really stand to eat them. I don’t know if it’s just that they are thick or they are a specific kind of noodle I should avoid. Or are they best prepared some way other than add water and microwave?
I would like to experiment with more ramen varieties but after it took me months to get through a 5 pack, I’m hesitant.
I like the noodles. I do usually cook them on the stovetop, and in cook them for a little more than half the recommended time. I don’t really like them too soft.
I don’t think it’s the texture, but something specific about the flavor hard to describe from memory. I’ll have to try some other varieties and see if it’s just Buldak or if I can figure out what the cause is. Thanks for responding!
Try Buldak Stew flavor, it’s pretty tasty and more like ramen soup than stir fried noodles.
Interesting I’ll keep an eye out for it, thanks.
Just put it on my list! Thanks- never heard of it
Samyang 2x is so good but the heat sticks to you. The oil just lingers in a way that makes it more intense than an equivalently spicy hot wing. It is so god damn good; it’s the kind of spicy that starts to make me “spicy drunk” (a desired outcome) and that just feels ridiculous for a packet of ramen.
Shin Black
The only correct answer.
I’ll also accept indomie though, but that’ll be our little secret.
Nongshim
