"So no fek", I like to softboil the egg (drop the egg into water at a rolling boil and cook for about 5 minutes). I peel the egg and add it to the ramen after I put it in the bowl.

What I like in ramen:
soft boiled egg
shiitake mushrooms
pulled pork
scallions
a little Sriracha and hoisin

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.

yes and i am disappointed that i see people here getting shin ramen because they are looking for spicy ramen when in fact that is NOTHING compared to teumsae ramen. shin ramen soup base is like kimchi in terms of spiciness.. 0 in 0-10 scale.

I see a ton of posts on spicy ramen, but are there recommendations for non-spicy soup base? Chicken broth as someone above recommended seems to be a bit off.

you don't need to put in a soup base. if you have eggs and other ingredients (spices, onions, green onions, beef, tuna, whatever) you don't really have to use a soup base. unless all that flavor is still not enough and you need even more. then you can just use some of that flavor packet.

if you want some real shit, buy a big pork butt and boil it with some herbs and spices. There's your broth.

You guys need to post pictures of the finish product so we can drool over it and get off our lazy butts and actually try to make something awesome.

Or is that just me?

There needs to be a TL-wide contest for this. Submit pics and recipe or something. Seriously. Only good things could come of it.

Yahhh... I wish I could find some real ramen. I have the boxed crap...

[image loading]

I use to call it bricks soup cause.. well.. it looked like a brick lol For prep though, I normally end up boiling some water then kind of dip them in and out till they're soft enough to spread but still a little crunchy. Then I'll add something like... chopped up hot dogs or sliced kielbasi or shredded steak any kind of meat really... sometimes I'll add a egg... I'll boil some water and crack the egg in. I don't remember what its called but Ill cook that and throw it in with the ramen. I love to experiment with adding different stuff.. I love this thread because now I have a ton of new ideas ^__^

hey guys, I love the Sapporo ramens...80 cents and delicious, but the #2 ingredient in it is good old monosodium glutamate and i'm trying to cut back on my MSG intake. Anyone have suggestions for a replacement that I might be able to find outside of an asian grocery store?

For me, Shin ramyun, egg drop, 1/2 piece of processed cheese, and I sometimes put in fresh green onions.

Or Mr Noodles spicy chicken, egg drop, siracha if you are on a budget. Sometimes I add hoisin to mr noodles, but mainly siracha to take it from white man spicy to tasteful spicy.

First time you put in a egg you might be a bit put off, but it adds alot of substance, protein, and thickens up the broth just a touch. really nice.

Shin Ramyun, add in some chives and Korean mushrooms, drop an egg in for the soup to cook, and add a slice of cheese on top after the Ramyun is done. Perfect snack.

teumsae ramen sounds good I will try that out if I can find it.

[image loading]

just made a batch of this with my additional usual ingredients and I find it to be super weak sauce. Like worse than standard american oriental flavor. I had to add cheyenne pepper.

PS- Just out of curiosity, does anyone happen to know the approximate scoville units for different ramens? Most specifically shin ramyun?

For anyone that cares I did my own research on hot sauces a while back and found that fast food places don't have any sauces over 200-750 range and then tabasco, sri racha, and tapatio are 2000-3000 respectively.

If you haven't eaten this type of ramen before, you shouldn't add the whole pack of spice as it's pretty hot. Especially if you're white.

wtf man, This is the most ignorant shit I've seen. Just because traditionally asian or whatever cultures you are thinking of, have more spicy ingredients does not mean white people do not like, or can not take spicy foods. I would literally need drugs and rehab if I was unable to eat spicy foods ever again and I am, of course, white.
Have you ever eaten a Habenero pepper raw? I have. Do you use tabasco, tapatio, sri racha on everything to the point where it's not even hot no matter how much you layer on? I do. Do you chop onions and naga viper peppers and rub your eyes just for fun? I will.
