Raman Noodles...

I remember back in the day someone mentioning this on this forum and someone else suggesting a low sodium, equally cheap product that tasted similar.

hey! no floundering this thread!

This is about sodium filled badness for your health.

Personally, when I used to eat it.. I would boil it in water with the packet.. and then drain off the water. I never drank the broth.

And Beef

I got a story about these things. One night when I was in high school, me and a buddy stayed up late at his house playing Gran Turismo 2. At about 1 in the morning, we were hungry, so we each made two packs of Ramen. I hate about 3/4 of mine and passed out on the couch. In the morning, my leftover Ramen had congealed into something akin to a cross between Jello and what I imagine Jabba the Hutt's sweat to look like.

I haven't eaten instant Ramen since then.

What, ME flounder?

Okay, three pages.

Add four or five splashes of jalapeno Tabasco to Chicken ramen to improve it greatly.

Werd....way better than the cup o needles and maruchan brand... i prefer to crack an egg on top of it.

chicken...

and the way my camaro build is hemoraging cash i better get used to it!

I had ramen this morning, partly due to this thread.

I need to go out to Uwajimaya and get some more of the nifty imported ramen of many packets.

Calling DukeOfUndersteer!!

I prefer Shrimp Maruchan.

But what I've been doing lately is buying rice noodles and putting McKays seasoning on it. Its a fake chicken seasoning that tastes exactly like the neon yellow fat powder that comes with Ramen noodles, but its Vegan and has no fat. From their website:

In reply to curtis73:

Maybe with values that small they just round up, but with no protein calories, no fat calories, I only see 6 calories worth of carbohydrates in the beef, and 8 in the chicken... Do they just round up to 10 for totals?

In any case, I'll have to ponder something like that. Real noodles would probably be a good start. I'm a little scared of everything-free stuff that tastes like anything, but I'm sure I can come up with something to put on the noodles. Maybe a little miso paste in water...

EDIT: Is there a proper name for the type of noodles in ramen that might be found filed under something other than "ramen"?
