let me say that I’ve eaten a lot of ramen (and noodles in general) in my days. and this is a classic, as much a comfort food to koreans (and other asians) as chicken soup is to anglos.

holla…

i’ve started buying only Choice Ramen Savory Herb Chicken flavors… i hate the other ones…

it is delicious!

You could also try putting sesame seed oil or something to the likes of it in the broth — it might make it taste better, but still be pseudo-healthy… Though at this point it’s ramen we’re talking here, so it’s not like we can complain much, can we? -Sobs-

Reprobate – My poaching technique comes from Sandra Lee, who preaches that if you can’t do something right, do it in 30 seconds or less.

Maria – I will give those a try. I always like going to the Asian market and trying all the different brands. Plus, I feel tall while I’m there.

kell – Regular ramen packets are basically boullion cubes anyway, I don’t think that’d be great for my sodium intake.

Chuck – Indeed that is an egg that I threw in while the noodles were boiling. And you haven’t lived until you’ve lived off ramen. Something about all that sodium and malnutrition really gets your blood pumping. Most likely due to high blood pressure, but still.

bikerbabeee – Actually, almost all of my reviews are things that I buy. This is probably hard to believe considering the quality of some of the products, but it is the sad truth.

betsy – You should check Matt Fischer’s ramen homepage and submit your recipe if it ever comes to you. I’m sure many people would love to share your epic glory.

Kylie – I’ve never had saimin, but I’m sure Marvo has since it’s apparently big in Hawaii.

Michelle D – Hopefully it was because of the bland taste and not something like explosive diarrhea because I have enough problems as it is.

Hunter – In Japan, they put eggs on almost all of their ramen. I just like it cause it fills me up.

Nevis – You’re very welcome. I ought to try that butter and parmesan thing sometime. Butter and cheese tend to warm my heart(and clog it too).

SheRa – I’ve seen ramen with dehydrated tofu in them before, but they’re ridiculously expensive (like $2.00 each). I might review them, so get those bomb shelters ready for when the horsemen are upon us.

Lex – I’ve never really enjoyed dry ramen, but there is one brand I like called Indomie that comes with a wickedly addictive mystery sauce. You should give that a try sometime.
