However I'm not giving them away^^ Uhjoo's sounds good as hell though. I gotta try that some time. Cheese / Egg [ Non chicken ] / rice / seafood combinations are the best usually. For Koreans: You can use udon soup or mi yuk gook half in combination with the regular soup packet and it tastes freaking leet. A really simple way to eat ramen that tastes better than the normal crap if you have chicken egg is just cook the noodles until it's all done and then turn off the stove and just drop in the egg raw and stir it up quickly. It tastes alot better than cooked egg, that is if you don't mind raw egg. | ||

That's all I can say. Sometimes I add an egg in it with some seaweed. It's good stuff. | ||

 I used the shitty kind with the chicken flavoring. (I'm white it happens  )I did 2 cups of boiling water mixed with 1 Tsp of soy sauce I cooked the ramen(cooked them slowly so they are nice and tender )Towards the end I added 1 egg and gave it time to cook. I ate lunch. I've been convereted into a ramen lover now. Some time n ow I'll go to the japanese shop and buy a pack of the good kind. What would you recommend? Which one is most mild all the way up to most spicy? I'd prefer to start mild ^^ | ||

In chinese Ramen literally means "pulled noodles" my grandma can make noodles right from flour by pulling them. Now adays it really hard to eat true stuff like that, most of Asians buy them in boxs made in a factory in a dried format. In America however, most American supermaket only sell what reffers to as "Instant Noodles" , American tend to know them as Ramen is because the Comapany named "Top Ramen" but what they sell is cheap baged instant noodles, nothing similar to true Ramen they taste very different because they are made from completely different methods. So yea if you want the type of stuff Uhjoo is talking about make a trip to your local Asian Supermarket and get the boxed noodles first, not only Ramen there is also Udon, Soba and other type of noodles you can try. | ||

My instinctual understanding of ramen has always been Udon. If someone says ramen, I think of Udon. It's weird. To CastleInTheSky, If you mean instand noodles, this is my favourite kind, but it's very spicy ^^ ![[image loading]](http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/morimoridakusan/cf1f8d5d-s.jpg) | ||

mani you had to bust out the quail eggs ooh~~ interesting history on korean ramen noodles is: during korea's industrialization drive in the 60's and 70's, the military dictator park jung hee basically created the entire korean ramen industry (modeled after the japanese ramen industry) because there had to be a way to feed people on a regular basis for very little money. the reasoning was to keep living expenses low in order to reduce upward wage pressure. ramen is the most bang-for-the-buck in terms of calories provided for cost (it's also really unhealthy-- try eating ramen three times a day and watch your six pack turn into a keg). alot of popular korean food in fact is wartime food that has been converted to cuisine-- for example "boodae chigae" (literally "military base soup") originated from native koreans getting leftovers/handouts (or digging through trash) from u.s. military bases (so some of the main ingredients of the soup is like hotdogs/vienna sausages and cheese). | ||

I can't think of the name right now, but I'll edit this when I can remember, you can get box fulls of them from asia grocery stores, and it has 3 sachets of sauces 2 spices. But man 'tis pro yo! What does price have to do with enjoying a good meal? | ||
