Here it goes:
When I went to school in England, there were a lot of chinese guys... We all ate a lot of Ramen in that time. The chinese guys always added something to their Ramen that made it taste FANTASTIC. It was either a paste of some sort or a fluid added from a bottle...
Does anybody know what they were adding? - It took any Ramen to a whole. 'nother. level. :D
What did it taste like? =P
Could very well be sesame paste/oil, tastes great on noodles.
Naw, I know sesame...
Is it maybe miso paste? The description I read on the web sounds a lot like it!
It just adds a lot of depth to the soup and makes it really savory!
I get shin ramyun from the korean grocery stores or something. I hate when people overcook the noodles, or dont put the lid on it while the waters boiling because it makes the noodles all fat and shitty.
Also, I put the powder in before the water starts boiling, and I need to have like the perfect amount of water as well (not too much, not too little). And after water starts boiling, I throw an egg in there and let it boil for like half a minute or a minute and then throw the rest of my noodles in. It tastes the best that way, compared to the other ways I used to do it. mmm, i Think im gonna go have some ramen right now actually.
I don't think it's that spicy either, the spice is what makes up like 90% of the taste to me, so I don't like pouring the soup out after im done making them (I can't understand people who do that). Sometimes it's good to make ramyun kimchi jjige. That shit w/ rice is the bomb.

The flavor powders are made from grinded bones and etc, so you get better flavoring if you put the flaor in first, let the water boil for about a minute THEN put the noodles!
Spicy Snacks, good for when you're looking for a snack that'll incinerate your tongue. basically, you take typical korean ramyeon (preferably shin ramyeon), crush the noodles raw, add the soup base and the veggie thing in the packaging, and shake it up. It's better to use a spoon, but fingers will do. Think of them as ramen flavored doritos or something, except a million times spicier.
Boil the water, add noodles, add whatever spices comes with. Add salsa, an egg and whatever sliced meat you has, stir and let it boil at fairly high heat for a few minutes. This makes the soup taste very nice, and one meal can last you a day np

Was it Sriracha Hot Sauce?
Or even Hoison Sauce? (This is what I put.. but this may be stretching it for you)
Has anybody had "Teumsae Ramen" manufactured by Paldo? It's by far the spiciest ramen I've ever had. Actually Shin-Ramen is a joke in comparison. I'm not a sissy when it comes to hot food but Teumsae is really borderline for me.
^ thanks for this new info. I've been looking for ramen spicier than Shin, because the spiciness:saltiness ratio isn't quite good enough for me. I end up making it with as small an amount of water as possible, which makes the ramen spicy but also very salty.
i've never seen it before though, and i guess i'll have to look for it the next time i go grocery shopping. normally i just beeline for the Shin or Anseong-tangmyeon, so i guess that's why i never noticed...
