anyways, i am quite the fan of ramen, both instant and classical, street-vendor style noodles. I am quite lucky in that there is a japanese, old-school tokyo-style ramen restaurant just a few train stops away from where i live/work, so i can treat myself to the fancy stuff once in awhile. | ||

Actually a lot of chinese people do, but they are just stupid. We have the japanese chain called Ajisen Ramen ( 味千拉面), I go there once a week, it's really good. And no excuse to eat instant noodles as this chain is also implanted in USA.  | ||

Cook it with an egg. Drink all the soup. Makes you live longer (jk you'll probably get high cholesterol like my dad.) | ||

1) Egg - obviously, who eats ramen without an egg? 2) Green onions - put them in raw, just before you're about to eat it. It makes the ramen taste much less preserved. Those little vegetable packs don't cut it, they're more for adding flavour to the soup than as actual vegetables. (That's why it's important to add them first, so you can boil the flavour out of them) 3) Corn - it adds a bit of sweetness to the whole thing. I didn't know about this but in the last TL ramen thread someone suggested it, and the difference is amazing. The corn will soak up some of the flavour though, so if it's not spicy enough put a jalapeno in  4) Lime Juice/Vinegar - Just a bit, the soup is bland without this extra layer of flavour. Also gives it a bit more of that kimchi feel which is what makes good ramyun. 5) Sesame oil - This stuff is delicious. You don't want to overwhelm the ramen but a little bit will make even shitty ramen taste godly. That's just as a base, usually I would also put something like shrimp or sausage in to make it a meal. But all those ingredients are cheap and there's no reason you should have to eat ramen without them. | ||

edit: Re post above me, sesame seed oil is a must imo to top instant noodles. | ||

(I don't add egg personally since I think it muddles the soup down. I'd much rather add dduk mmmmmmmmmm) | ||
