shin ramyun red or black

>>18529503
I like black but damn are they expensive. One costs as much as a full 12 pack of Maruchan or Top Ramen.

>>18529523
I honestly think its worth it since I only have one once in a while. it goes great with sautéed onions, mushrooms and bell pepper.

>>18529503
these are forever ruined for me after living in japan. they have shin ramyum as well but it's the cheap, shitty one that nobody fucking buys cause there's so much better shit. I typically ate some after winning a bunch at a time in a specific game at the gamecenter that I was good at (I always wanted potato chips like chip star but instead sometimes they'd have this shit).

cracked me up to move back to america and everyone is salivating over shit that I literally threw out of my apartment a dozen at a time cause they'd just pile up and it tastes like cheap SE Asian garbage lmao

>>18529497
Ahem

>>18529554
Yeah, I agree black is worth it. I try to keep some on hand but it's getting a bit hard to find nowadays. Always sold out at the local grocery store and the korean market only has that Buldak stuff. Decent but not my favorite

Bros pro tips for your ramens. Take refried beans and put in there. Trust me anons. If you have for some reason dehydrated refried beans. Use them. But if canned. Take a soup and then like a quarter of a can. Right in that shit. Yeah

Gross! Chicken is the WORST flavor.

out of those four, instant lunch. But picrel is the true best

>>18529573
I picked up a box of Shin Black at BJ's. Check the warehouse stores

Of normal Maru vs normal Nissin, pork Maru >>>> all others.
Of deluxe-ish instaramen, Nissin Raoh >>>>> all others.
Of fridged and frozen ramen, I haven't had many, but Sun Noodle garlic shoyu has been my favourite so far.
Of specialty instaramen, I can't decide between WaiWai tom khlong or Mama yentafo (especially the one with bean threads), but either of those >>>>>>>> all others.
Of ramyun, Nongshim gamjatang >>>>>>>> all others.
Of dry noodles (instant yakisoba/chowmein/mie goreng/etc), I can't decide between Maru cheese yakisoba or Indomie green chilli (cabe ijo). They're only a little better than the other options (except Nissin chow mein; they all suck various shits).
Of cup/bowl instanoodles in general, I like the green Paldo. Forgot what it's supposed to be. Others are good, too.
Of stock, no noodles, Lee Kum Kee is best.
This is incontrovertible fact and to argue against it is to say you don't love our Lord and Savious, Jesus Christ.

Top right + pic rel

>>18529497
if we're limited to picrel, nissin vs. maruchan:

pennypack - mostly a wash but I slightly prefer maruchan
cup - nissin wins

I grew up on maruchan packs, favorite flavor oriental (now "soy sauce") in the blue bag

Maruchan roast chicken

>>18529503
Till this day I have no idea why Nissin didn't do what Nong Shim did and use the same recipe in Asia for the Western markets. The difference in quality is like night and day, Nissin is actually a viable competitor to Shin and the other Korean brands in SEA.

>>18529497
maruchan is the only ramen.
everything else is facsimile.
end of discussion.
>>18531146
this nigga gets it.
i also chop up celery and boil it in the water before adding the noodles.
i also spice the water so it makes a broth.
i also drain the noodles after they're done cooking.
i've also added salsa after draining it instead of hot sauce, it's pretty good.

>>18529497
cartels love them
we should ask them

>>18531331
Yeah you go to Mexico, let us know how it goes

>>18531337
I am in Mexico, but I rather not

>>18529497
Nissin, but Nongshim and Mama are also really nice.

>>18529497
It's Maruchan shrimp flavor. In the styrofoam cup ONLY. Known since ancient times.

The reddit of ramen

Asianphiles need to die. You're all a plague.

>>18530715
These have so much more flavor and actual pieces of cabbage and meat in them. They're like double the price of the regular cup noodles though. If you're going to put shit in anyway pass on this, but if you're not at home with sauces, seaweed, and hot sauce, get this stir fry variety.

>>18529497
This kind is actually one of the best brands of ramen I have ever had. It even comes with a packet of pork fat mixed with broth and spices.

>>18529497
No ramen

>>18533045
>My grocery store stopped selling these
I'm beyond upset. Maruchan is best from the list, but the best instant I've ever had was Sapporo Ichiban Shio.

>>18529497
Only other one I've had besides those 2 brands and you can definitely taste the difference

>>18529497
for me, it's

>>18531456
It actually is (boring and lacking in sovl but helpful and a solid gentleman's 7/10)

>>18529562
Great stuff, its a little too 'exotic' though for the average western consumer because people here dont regularly eat something so pungent/stinky and spicy (besides the asians that live here)

>>18530715
based I love these. My favorite are the spicy ones

>>18529562
>>18533373
What flavor is it?

>>18529497
maruchan but roasted chicken
I ate these all the time when I was homeless, I rarely ever do now but it's a little taste of nostalgia
>>18529555
It's so easy to make better stuff. They sell noodles that cook in a few minutes and you can go fancy and do real meat and veggies or just use canned meat and frozen or freeze dried veggies

>>18529555
If you live in any asian countries there is almost no reason to eat instant ramen outside of it being cheap
You can walk 3-5 blocks and there will be noddle/ramen place you can just eat from for about the same price

>>18529497
just make it at home. soup stock water and flour.

I enjoy the cheap top Ramen, I use it as a good chicken soup, usually add an egg or two
Good comfort

>>18529497
easy cheap ramen recipe.
make ramen noodles with flour.
boil pot of water. add baking soda until it taste bitter. add salt 2 slices of Bacon Worcestershire sauce garlic powder.
easy home made pork ramen

>>18533538
and yet Japan

>>18533407
Snail soup with fermented veggies. My wife says it smells like cat shit but I honestly can't smell it at all

This
>>18530715
Those are good too; I like that they don't usually have broth that you need to dump out

>>18533588
so you just walk around with cat shit breath? nothing smells worse than cat shit

I tried this one after trying the meme 2x spicy ramen. This black one is unironically realllly good if anyone gets a chance to try it. I've only seen it at two stores near me though.

>>18529497
Out of these, bottom right, Maruchan Instant Lunch, is best

>>18529592
what the fuck is wrong with u sir

definitely maruchan
>>18529503
shitty korean fake ramen. Nongshim has way better varieties like their tonkotsu black kuromayu ramen

>>18529503
Too spicy, can't enjoy the full meal.

>>18533829
Which one, red or black?

>>18533546
>you're not at home?
>just go home
>get flour and seltzer water and make your own noodles using special pasta making machines
>you can cheat a little and use soup stock from a box or bullion from a jar
>just spend 90 minutes making a crummy little cup of ramen noodles

What are you? On drugs?

>>18529523
Got this three for $1.5 in Mexico City. Check in flea markets, you would be surprised.
