Cup Noodles or Ramen?

Which do you like better and why?

It's tough for me. I like the quality of Cup Noodles better, but Ramen has better flavors.

I like Ramen better. Because I like Ramen better.

although cup noodles are nice too (hong kong version) the fact that it comes with bits makes it a winner

― ken c (ken c), Sunday, 29 January 2006 09:37 (twenty years ago)

― nein Socken (nein Socken), Sunday, 29 January 2006 09:39 (twenty years ago)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 29 January 2006 09:53 (twenty years ago)

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Sunday, 29 January 2006 12:59 (twenty years ago)

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 29 January 2006 19:06 (twenty years ago)

he'd prefer that you cup Ramen instead, whoever *he* is.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 29 January 2006 19:19 (twenty years ago)

These really are the best. Very versatile. Usually I mix in a chopped up blanched broccoli crown or a bit of chopped cabbage, but tonight I added chopped up smoked beef brisket, a little barbecue sauce, a little sriracha and some ginger/garlic spiced peanuts.

some of these prepacked ramen are approaching actual ramen prices... NOT COOL.

― Philip Nunez, Friday, 24 June 2011 00:44 (fifteen years ago)

There's a japanese store not far from me that sells the imported Japanese Nissin noodles. I found a 5-pack of their Yakisoba flavour noodles a while back and they are DELISH. Tastes quite like cafe yakisoba, with that saucey worcestershierey sauce. I add sauteed cabbage, onion and red capsicum to it.

― Bloompsday (Trayce), Friday, 24 June 2011 00:56 (fifteen years ago)

US Yakisoba commercials are hysterically bad

― frogbs went a-courtin' (WmC), Friday, 24 June 2011 00:57 (fifteen years ago)

My other fave Nissin flavas are sesame oil, garlic chicken, and tonkatsu.

― Bloompsday (Trayce), Friday, 24 June 2011 01:04 (fifteen years ago)

I used to love the nissin cajun chicken flavor but I haven't seen that in a while

― 龜, Sunday, 29 March 2015 22:31 (eleven years ago)

I'm boiling sauce packets, unopened, cause it's telling me to

Who am I to say no

― 龜, Sunday, 29 March 2015 22:32 (eleven years ago)

You don't say no to $2.50 instant noodles

You do as you're told

Ramen noodles have been a fixture in my life for as long as I can remember. If I become a millionaire someday I'm still going to have it now and then. Recently I've been trying to eat more veggies in general so my typical Ramen meal is

heat water/oil to boil
added 2 chopped carrots cook for 15 mins
add large handful of kale & 1 pack Maruchan Ramen chicken or shrimp flavor
sprinkle in garlic salt
cook for 5 mins stirring occasionally
strain water
throw in some ice cubes
mix in Ramen seasoning packet
put on some anime & enjoy

*turn it to simmer when you cook the carrots/bring back to boil after adding kale/Ramen

― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 29 March 2015 23:01 (eleven years ago)

Sub in tomato soup for the Ramen and throw in chopped potato w the carrots and brocolli w the kale for KILLER veggie soup

My "quick vegetarian ramen" lately involves making a broth by sautéing some aromatics and mushrooms in coconut oil, adding some tamari and sesame oil and other seasonings to make a broth. I finish the broth with miso at the end. Between the fattiness of the coconut oil, the salty sweet creaminess of the miso, and the earthiness of the mushrooms, I end up with a surprisingly meaty broth.

- frozen corn (ramen to me, usually has corn)
- kale (placed in the bottom of the bowl so it has more time to wilt under the broth).
- sliced deep-fried tofu
- other fridge-clearout veg as desired.

I top the bowls with chopped green onions (obligatory) and aji nori furikake. This shaker of sesame/seaweed seasoning has really elevated my ramen game. Why screw around with boiling a sheet of slimy kombu to make dashi when you can add it in a toasty, salty format at the end? It is really, really my secret ingredient.

Once I discovered the thin Korean buckwheat soba and the tsuyu (dipping sauce) concentrate at my local Korean and Japanese grocers, respectively, I haven't been back to ramen. Buckwheat soba cooks in about 2 minutes, during which time one can julienne a green onion and dilute tsuyu.

Cup Noodles (of any variety) seems environmentally suspect.

my standby is the Mama spicy shrimp one with the silvery packaging, but I just found a couple of Nissin Black Garlic Tonkatsu ones and I'm stoked to try 'e

― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Monday, 30 March 2015 23:09 (eleven years ago)

Yeah Nissin black garlic is delish.

― I checked Snoops , and it is for real (Trayce), Tuesday, 31 March 2015 02:35 (eleven years ago)

oh fuck i need ramen rn

― Textured Vegetable Personalities (get bent), Tuesday, 31 March 2015 03:00 (eleven years ago)

Black Garlic w/ tempered egg did not disappoint

The 2X Spicy Artificial Chicken ramen is phenomenal. I had some for lunch and immediately ordered a crate.

― ShariVari, Monday, 19 August 2019 16:57 (seven years ago)

those are like face-meltingly hot aren't they?

― circa1916, Monday, 19 August 2019 18:46 (seven years ago)

They’re very hot, but tasty.

― ShariVari, Monday, 19 August 2019 18:55 (seven years ago)

accidentally poured a little of the nongshim shin ramen black broth down the wrong hole the other day and what seems only a bit spicy has a different feeling when you’re trying to breathe it!

― untuned mass damper (mh), Tuesday, 20 August 2019 01:42 (seven years ago)

omg I need to find something and take a picture — my friend gave me nongshim ramen SOCKS

I’d sent her a pic of a tote bag with that logo I’d seen on a subway and she actually had her dad buy me merch in korea before visiting

I’ve been having a crazy craving for some Ramen this week and picked up the 2X as well as the regular spicy. Absolutely hit the spot, both of them.
