So i want ramen. i have read a lot of threads like ramen preparation and wikipedia and had a question to tl (ramen experts right?  ) im gonna buy ramen in a little asian toko in the mall but i have no idea what to buy. i have never been there and i dont know which one to buy. you see, im a muslim and i cant eat pork so how do i know if there is pork in some ramen? does it have a english description in general or do i have to ask the people working there? also which ramen can you recommend me and why? like which flavors or which brand, i know this is a matter of personal taste but im just looking for some guidelines, thanks tl
peace and prosperity.

There's a lot of good stuff in there, just read around 
Edit: Apparently I fail so I guess I'll give you a little tip. The first time I made ramen I put in way too much water, threw the ramen in (not the fail part), and then threw the seasoning in. My ramen turned out totally bland. Having a lot of water to start out with is convenient because then the blocks can actually fit in the pot, but be sure to pour out the excess before you add anything else to the noodles

Just buy "Shin Ramen". The original and the best and no pork
|
in the op he says that he's read it already
but he probably hasn't read it really thoroughly lol. al tlers love shin ramyun and i love the flavour of shin ramyun as well.

nongshim shin ramyun - korean brand ramen, pretty much the best package ramen you're going to find, great flavor and spicy which allows you to be creative with what you do with it.

Really good and detailed (you can just take out the bacon bits, i do this (Im Jewish) and still tastes great), and you cant go wrong with Shin Ramyun :3
EDIT: nvm im super tired and fail with reading comprehension, will still leave the link up anyways i guess.
|
oh cool, thanks for the link
and another question: how long does it take after you put the egg in, like you put the egg in and then wait how long till the ramen is done?
|
i stick the egg in and turn off the fire 10 seconds after that. I like my eggs half cooked...so yea
|
I like sapporo ichiban's original flavor as well, I think it goes well with spare vegetables.
|
shin ramen is the best, and for the egg you want to put it in the midway point of the ramen cooking since you dont want the ramen to overcook because the noodles will not taste very good. Remember that the noodles still cook after you turn off the heat so you have to turn it a little before its ready

Agreed, and I think taking it off the burner at the right time is the most important thing you can do for the taste. You can add all the egg, vegetables and meat you want, but if you leave the noodles in too long their gonna be soft and taste like crap. I usually have my stove set pretty high, and leave the noodles in about 3 minutes (package says 4-5, which will be much too long). I like the eggs a little more done, so I throw them in at the beginning.

I'm there with Shin Ramen. I have to go to a different store than my normal grocery for it and it costs more, but it's totally worht it. The noodles are thicker, better quality, and they're in a round cake, so if you do the pour boiling water over noodles method they fit in the bowl nicely. The broth is spicy, and if you do the cook in pot method you can cook a couple packs and save the mix for making soup. The broth is the real winner there. Also, if you are down with tiny flakes of dehydrated vegetable matter there's a pack in there. I don't eat that.
There's no way there's pork in that little packet.
