i actually cook ramen in a pan. Pour hot water to boil, throw noodles in for 2 mins then drain majority of water, then cook the rest on low after adding seasoning and egg. Yum (and cheap!)

I made some ramen today and it was good

I used shan dong dried noodles, not instant noodles, with the following added:

- Egg
- Cucumber
- Tomato
- Green Onion
- Miso Soup base
- Tofu
- Seaweed

Highly recommend if you enjoy something of lighter flavor and very healthy

OMFG was looking through this thread and was soo hungry, and sad because I knew I had no instant noodles at home. Went down anyway to do the classic "look inside wherever you keep your food even tho you know you have nothing" and I actually found some O_O thought it was gone

I've never actually tried adding anything else than just the spices but will definitely try that sometime soon, I love eggs and all kinds of meat so should be epic.

This is what I'm having now:

I feel like there should be a poll for people who strain the water and people who don't

Ok so I want to try some of these other ramen brands as im used to just eating Top Ramen from costco but its really high in sodium are there any brands of "Good" ramen that have a lot less sodium in them?

Sodium/MSG is the main part of the seasoning packet so I'd just omit that and use like a miso soup base as a healthy alternative. The quality of noodles do differ from brand to brand and there are plenty of "good" ramen recommendations in this thread.

Heat water to boiling, put brick in with the sauce packet, boil until just al dente, then drain 3/4 of the broth.

uhjoo ma' man!

Korean style is to get either something like Shin or Jin ramen, boil a pot of water, throw the noodles in (I personally prefer whole so I can actually slurp noodles later), then add the flavoring+greens, get some stirred egg ready, chuck it in, then stir. Wait for like 5 more minutes and bring the bowl over to a table, get some meat, tuna or w.e, kimchi, damuji, etc.

Only noobs drain out the soup. It's there for a reason, it's not chapagetti, man! And like other people say, when you finish the noodles, get some rice and throw it in the soup. It might give you a stroke, but hey, when it tastes that good, idc. :3

I need explanation on when to put the egg in and for how long. I want it to look as good as in Eunjung's vid. How long does she cook it and whatnot ?

If noodles take 3 minutes add the eggs with 1 minute remaining.

Eggs should be in there for 1 minute total but dont overcook the noodles

Depending on how you like your egg, you can put it in like 1-2 minutes before you take it off the stove. The egg will keep cooking as you eat, so trial and error!

Eunjung's vid says
"boil water+packet for 3 mins, add noodles and ham, boil 5 mins, add egg scallion cheese right before you turn off the heat. But she's cooking it in that container thing and not an actual pot so timings may vary

Steps to take to remedy this:

1. Make Ramen

If no Ramen in house
Buy Ramen

If stores are closed
Break into store and steal Ramen

Ramen or bust!!!

I feel like having to get up, go to my car and drive to the store, then having to find a rock, smash the window, locate the ramen section and then evading the police on the way home is going against the concept of easy tasty ramen! ^_^
