>>15943301
Its not unhealthy if you drink 1L of water after eating one cup

>>15943294

I like the Samyang and Nissin Black Garlic Oil ones. As for your question, it depends; I eat them like once every two or three weeks due to the sodium content and calories involved, so for me its a treat, but its trash if that's all you eat for every meal or pretend you're some sugoi ass weaboo.

>>15943286
once i get out of college im never touching the shit again unless i make it myself

What's this meme that its poor people food? Bitch you can cook spaghetti with butter or oil which is delicious and costs less.

I've been trying to find a good instant noodle for a long time. So far my favorite is Maruchan roast beef but I understand that's pretty pleb tier.
I'm looking for one that's beefy and savory. Most of the "good" ones I see recommended are just "spicy" as the flavor which doesn't really interest me, I'm not looking for spicy, or chicken, or seafood.
Anyone have any recommendations under those guidelines?

When I was a kid my family didn't have ramen. I didn't discover it until my family visited my grandmother in Cali. I had no idea it was poor people food and it was a neighborhood kid that introduced me to it. I found it utterly fascinating and happily accepted a portion of his uncooked ramen brick. I didn't even know it was supposed to be cooked. Good stuff. Great snack.

>candy isnt unhealthy! just drink 1L of water after eating one bag of candy!
thats basically what youre saying

>>15943348
yes

>>15943348
Not really, sodium has a direct relation with water. Sugar from candy doesnt

>>15943286
Unhealthy garbage poor-people food trash and nice treat.

>>15943286

It's just a snack. I eat them as noodles to dry as chips.

>>15943286
I know olympic cyclists and bodybuilders that still eat Maruchan chicken flavored ramen once in awhile

I'm also a novice bodybuilder and it's my go to cheat meal, I just don't drink the broth like a lot of people because the sodium would bloat me

I sprinkle gold flakes over my ramen. Doubt poorfags/wagecucks can enjoy this ultimate form of ramen

>>15943531
I've switched from broth-based ramen to stir-fry like mi goreng and buldak for that reason.

>>15943286
Tasty, especially if you fry them

>>15943286
s.0.yfags need to be put in contaiment.

>>15943286
God-tier food if in prison.
Shit-tier everywhere else, a weeks worth of salt in 1 cup

>>15943319
A box of spaghetti sure, butter or oil costs more. You really can't beat .25-40 cent meal when your a poorfag trying to make it through collage.

>>15943286
I grew up eating top ramen, my mother bought that shit by the case. My tipping point against it was when I was 16 (to save weight) I hiked in to the grand canyon with that stuff and ate almost nothing but for 3 days every meal...
Didn't touch the stuff again for 15 years and was not impressed when I did try it again 17 years after that.

just 1 day ago I bought some Ramen from an asian grocery. The brand is unreadable to me. Shit was pretty good.

I wouldn't eat it every day, but it was not bad.

>>15943286
Why is he so astonished by instant ramen?

I never understood how people could live off this. It never filled me up and would leave me with a headache if I didn't eat anything else.

>>15943294
Add some lemon/lime a little garlic and Sriracha sauce and Cayenne pepper makes it better it also cleans your noise out if you’re sick

I just moved away from the hustling bustling city and now I can't get good Ramen anywhere. How does one even begin to make Ramen at home?

>>15943286
It’s a guilty pleasure. Enjoying some dirt cheap chicken Maruchan cup of noodles with quite a bit of soy sauce added so..extra sodium I guess

>>15943286
Bugman slop

>>15943339
Nissin beef impressed me.

>>15943286
man i love those rectangular instant ramen i bought from import store, they were like 5.5 dollars or something each but they taste great and are fast to make. one of the nissin brand was the best one i think. i got some other cheaper but yeah, i want more

>>15945028
>all that oil in the broth

>>15943286
>Unhealthy garbage poor-people food trash
This one

>>15943319
>her favorite food is ‘sghetti n’ butter

>>15945260
It's called pasta in bianca, anon...

>>15945028
Buy this. You won't regret it.

>>15945266
And this is Pane al formaggio

Unhealthy garbage that's delicious. I have eaten at least 500 packs of instant ramen, no joke. Used to eat almost everyday as when I was like 12-15 and I still have them occasionally. And before you ask, I'm not fat.

>>15945277
anon, pasta in bianca is literally just noodles 'n butter,

tasteless garbage

>>15943286
Nongshim spicy is it

>>15945238
>oil is bad

>>15946549
Vegetable oil is

>>15943286
No protein. Gotta add lots of meat

>>15943375
>falling for the sodium = bad meme
So it's not unhelthy always

>>15943286
Tasty lazy food.
I don't eat it often, but enjoy it when I can't be fucked to make anything else.

You can buy expensive ones if you want to pretend you're better than other people based on how much you spend on random things.

In reality cup noodle and instant ramen are for people who are short on time more than short on money.

Stop reading women's checkout magazines for health information

>>15945273
i honestly prefer normal shin desu. its got more of a spicy bite

>>15945028
5.5 for a single one?

>>15943286
Unhealthy crap, but because of the amount of saturated fat, nothing to do with sodium.

>>15943286
instant ramen here in greece costs 0.33 cents
so i buy 10-20 of them throw the noodles out and keep the sauce and use it on actual pasta sometimes or soups

It's for people who don't know how to cook or are too lazy to cook.

If you can cook rice and steam vegetables you can make something better than instant ramen in just as much time.

>>15943286
I like to eat it out of nostalgia

Many memories of playing Counter Strike and Halflife while making some instant ramen for quick meals

>>15946549
If your broth is so oily that it ends up looking like this >>15945028

Then yes, oil bad.

>>15943286
Shin Ramyun is too good to give up desu sorry

>>15947492
you got 2 portions for every package. this is example of i bought

>>15948368
also same dude again, i literally followed the instructions and added the oil afterwards it was optional

>>15943286
salt + carbs for 10 cents

It's like paying to be poisoned.

>>15943315
You can just buy the plain noodles in the Asian section and season them yourself to cut out the insane amount of sodium/whatever the fuck is in those seasoning packets. I still do it sometimes because I grew up poor and eating a lot of instant noodles so it's a quick comfy lunch.

I just cook them in a little broth or plain water it doesn't really matter, drain and toss with:
Sesame oil
Chili oil
Some soy sauce (salty yes but you won't get near as much sodium unless you crazy overdo it to the point where they aren't edible)
Couple of poached eggs.

>>15943286
I eat it with my favorite energy drink everyday.

>>15943307
The sodium still gets processed through your organs retard.

>>15943286
It's a cheap and quick meal food, but not the best food you can give to yourself.
Consuming it once in a while should be fine, but really it's unhealthy the more frequent you eat instant ramen.

>>15943286
I'll eat 2x Buldak once a week, not a terrible lunch.
Ramen if for when you're hungry and don't really feel like going out or making something. Thats about it.

>>15943286
I like it when I'm hungry and it's late at night for a snack. Has enough carbs to get rid of the hunger.

>>15945266
Pasta in biancO, testa di merda

>>15952162
Takes me three packets to get rid of late night hunger pangs. Meanwhile one boiled egg, and, boom, hunger gone.

>>15943286
It's a useful metric for judging how well my life is going. More package ramen = I'm not doing so well.

But rice or beans noodles. Buy nice bouillon and steal sauce packets from take out. Boom tons of ramen for even cheaper. Less msg and sodium if you get nice bouillon too

>>15943286
yes
