yea

>>8806396
Yeah, it's good. I don't know if it's the King of instant ramen, but I'll tell you about the disgraced court jester of instant ramen. It was called something like Nissan. I bought a half-ton at Big Lots for $.10 and after taking one bite I immediately knew why they were practically giving it away.

>>8806460
....Nissin?

my gf swears by the stuff and refuses to get maruchan. i dunno why, they taste almost identical to me

>>8806460
Yeah I went on a sampling spree a while back to find a good brand and I can confirm that stuff is one of the worst

>>8806396
I grew up eating mama brand. It's prolific in Southeast Asia and the Vietnamese supermarkets always had it.

>>8806396
After trying their Kimchi I just buy their stuff even if its 3 times the price of other brands.

It''s quite expensive but no comparison.

Noodles are firm and steamed not fried.

Broth is rich.

Indomie is the one true king

>>8806525
Tried Mama once. I don't know what kind of flavor it was, but it was in an orange wrapper and tasted awful.. Looked at the back and the first or second ingredient was CITRIC ACID. Had no idea what the fuck they were trying to do.

>>8806396
Nongshim is pretty great. But I am looking for something with more spice. Nothing is nicer than painfully spicy ramen when you are drunk.

>>8806406
fpbp

>>8806547
Indomie isn't ramen though.
It is still the king of instant noodles

>>8806690

Get the Korean domestic one. They're much spicier and less salty than the ones sold to us tasteless American plebs.

>>8806547
My nigga

i like this best

>>8806736
Any in particular? What should I look for if I cant tell moon runes from gorean?

>>8806789
I miss the old packaging.

>>8806396
Unquestionably. Love the spicy broth.

Paldo or samyang

>>8806554
The shrimp flavor is the only one I can remember liking actually now that I think of it.

>>8806843
you really can't identify Korean characters?

>>8806982
i'd forgotten all about Paldo. Damn I miss those cheap but delicious bowls

my favorite after eating a good 12 or so different noodle packs from the Korean grocery

>>8806690
try these

>>8806525
The taste of this brand is complete garbage ladyboy.

Recently picked up Hong Ramyun thinking it'd be similar to Shin but it's just overall less enjoyable in every way for the same price. Less spicy, saltier, and the only discernible flavor in the broth is fishy which isn't my favorite on its own. Going to try more after I finish this pack they have 500 varieties at the korean mart

Nissin Raoh translates literally into "King Of Ramen"

If you don't want spicy noodles then Nongshim is not the best.

I do like Nongshim but it seems like they're the only brand carried in American grocery stores that isn't Top Ramen, and that's really disappointing given all the variety that's out there. Dear instant ramen makers, please distribute ur shit in America!

>>8807308
I got the regular pack version of these and they were kind of shit. the bowl version with an actual piece of meat in it was good, but it cost me like $5 a bowl to import.

I lived in Korea for like 12 years so I have a little bit of knowledge on the wonderful world of instant ramen.

Shin Ramen: usually at top of polls in RoK, spicy beef broth
Shin Ramen Black: same as above but deeper bone broth
Jin Ramen: Comes in Spicy/mild. Both are good.
Ansungtangmyeon: Miso based broth, spicy
Nugoori Myun: Literally Raccoon noodles. Spicy seafood broth, Korean domestic has whole kombu seaweed piece, international has kombu pieces.
Kimchi Ramen: self explanatory.

Paldo, Samyang, Ottoogi, and Nongshim are all good companies. If there's red on the package/ramen pic, it's gonna be spicy. If there's no red, probably not. Flames? really spicy.

>>8807261
Knocked the thread out of the park!

Nongshim for stupid spicy chewy noodles.

Nissin for all other flavor of cup noodles, their noodles are extra fried so they don't go mushy.

>>8806396
>not pic related

This shit is pure crack

>>8806843
>>8807073
It's really easy to tell the difference, korean has much more circles and is less dense. Chinese is more dense, Japanese has more curvy lines and is a little bit less dense.

I'm eating Shin Ramyun right now, it is indeed the most delicious Instant Ramen for those who want to just pour in boiling water and wait, or even use the microwave (which I did).

Nissin's Demae ramen ,出前一丁 series, actually taste better though, but only if you rinse the noodles after cooking - there is an oily film that makes it taste off if you skip that step.

I love the original one that comes with sesame oil and in a red package. A lot of HK-style tea cafe serve this as an all day breakfast option with egg and ham or egg and wiener.

Also Shoyu Tonkotsu, packaged in purple.

>>8806789
This is super spicy, I like to eat this with fresh nappa cabbage leaves or shanghai bok choy.

Nongshim and other spicy korean brands are a guilty pleasure for me. I can feel the heat going down my stomach, through my intestines and out my flaming butthole.

>>8806396
it use to be better when I could get hot and spicy. now only can get gourmet spicy. if you have gourmet spicy from a cup it tastes shit but if you have it from the pack you just put in less water to make it taste like hot and spicy

>>8806533
My nigga. Put some red bell peppers in and you're styling

mi goring is superior even if i cant spell it correctly

>>8806396
its nice buy i find it too spicey. Its a shame because i like the flavours often paired with spicy dishes but i hate spice

>>8808185
>mfw I dump tabasco into it because it's not spicy enough

>983g of sodium in one packet

>>8808606

A literal non-issue, drink more water.

>>8808599
i feel like that'd just seriously water it down

do you make it with too much water???

>>8807261

>>8806533
can confirm the excellence of these noodles

these weird small chingchong countries have some good shit
I also had purple noodles from singapore or something once, they were nice too

>>8806525
It was better in the 90s, not anymore

>>8806554
You're talking about the shrimp creamy tom yum flavor. It's way different then all other flavors. Mama is my go-to cheap noodle but I need to crave the creamy tom yum I was talking about otherwise you're better of with the chicken flavor.

>>8806533
the crab flavour is the shit

>>8806789
This.

>>8806533
how expensive they are?

>>8808656
maybe, i'll experiment later today thanks

>>8806515
in my opinion, Nissin tastes worse than Ramen

This is my ramen; there are many like it, but this one is mine.

Add copious amounts of scallions, eat with a cheese sandwich.

I like the non-spicy nongshim cups, the flavor's good and there's more veggie bits than other noodle cups.

>>8806396
All ramens are the king of ramen, my 4chan friend! They have all the essential vitamins and nutrients you need for a hard day's work!
Eat up my friends! It's good for you!

Honestly pretty damn good for noodles that cost next to nothing.

why do tripfags with plebbit tier humor have to ruin every decent thread?

Suck my dick all of you

>>8806396
yes

>>8811290
I swear to god I could eat these and Nongshim every day until I died. Indomie noodles hit all of my favorite flavor centers and those fried onions take it to a whole new level. I don't even like onions that much.

Shin Raymun Black is on the same level. I love to sip the leftover broth real slow after I've finished the noodles.

I'd die eating these deep fried, salt saturated packets of HBP without a care in the world. I've had real raymeon/ramen that taste inferior to both brands.

>>8806396
eating a bowl right now

i like boiling the noodle block for only 2 or so minutes so the noodles come out extra chewy

>>8809426
My store had a special for them, 2 for 5 dollars

Usually around 2-3 dollars

Keep in mind this is Canada bucks so they might be less expensive US

This Singaporean brand is an oddity. The texture of their noodles is average and they do the hipster marketing shit like "Low fat, natural flavorings, low MSG" etc. However, it's seasoning powder is the only one that my household ants would go after. The ants love it so it must be doing something right.

I'm not sure if they do any exports.

>>8806396
These are really tasty and hot. I make them with a lil' bit less water then it says on the pack, tho.

>>8808599
Use cayenne pepper instead. Gives it good heat without altering the flavour.

>>8811290
I love this stuff, but goddamn does it give me violent diarrhea the next morning. Pretty sure this stuff is what gave me haemorrhoids.

Fuck, now I need to find an Asian market and get all these instant noodles...

are those dumplings?

>all the white people too scared to eat this

>>8813901
they released a version with 2x the spiciness in korea

>>8806525
I like it but it seems like its not as spicy as it used to be. it used to make me sweat. now i have to add more pepper powder.

>>8814101
I have that in my cupboard and I'm too pussy to eat it yet.

What's the worst of the worst when it comes to ramen?

>>8813901
Mine has a kim jong un chicken on it shitting fire out his asshole on the package

Of course I'm scared

>>8806396
I love these instant miso soup 10/10

>>8812054
Their spicy stir fry flavour is the best I've had. The seasoning is so good.

This stuff is the shit, closest thing I could find to restaurant quality ramen in a package.

>>8807261
these are fucking gross

>>8806396
I just had this last night. It was the best instant ramen I've ever had. But I love spicy food so that might be why.

>>8812325
See a doctor.

My asian store across the street has the spicy Nongshim and only the spicy nongshim for some fucking reason. I like the spicy but jesus they need to get other flavors here.

>>8811290
Literal crack.

>>8815545
Fuck you. Doctor's can't do shit.

Eat a dick.

>>8813901

I ordered some, the spice and noodles are good, but the flavor and slimy texture are a big turn off

I'm sure I'm just preparing them wrong, but no amount of stir fry seems to make them not slimy

>>8815318
YOU'RE FUCKING GROSS

I got some of this on Wednesday, the laughing octopus makes me a little concerned

>>8815661
Why so angry? Have you seen a doctor or a shrink may be?

>>8806396
in sk shin ramen is so popular that unless you specify, when u say "ramyun" (ramen) outloud you mean shin ramen. that being said, my nongshim fav is actually chapagetti

>>8806789

My Korean girlfriend had no fucking idea what this was, never seen it before.

For context the Nongshim pictured in the OP is the most universal and wellknown Korean ramen. So it's not that she didn't know the company.

I liked that one too though, must be a special export product made for us weigukins, I don't remember seeing it while I was in Korea.

>>8807461
MAH NIGGA

Instant noodles industry is dying. Enjoy it while you can.

>>8815890
this

the taste is sublime

t. gook

>>8811290
I can't dig these, they're just so oily and almost flavorless unless you dump all of the chili sauce in, which doesn't taste very good at all.

>>8816677
What would you recommend instead?

Never been an instant noodle fan but this shit right here is delicious with thin slices of beef, yellow pepper and rat's ear shrooms tossed in.

>>8816661
Why exactly would it be dying?

>used to eat Ramen all the time
>mfw over 1000g of sodium

God damn. I love Ramen though

>>8816759
mg but still

>>8816745
Instant noodle market hit its peak a few years back. Everyone is trending towards healthier foods. Chinese consumption is shrinking.

I prefer Mi Goreng and MAMA.

Out of the Korean brands, I prefer Paldo over Nongshim.

>>8816821
You ever mix those two together? I mean after draining the shrimp tom yom noodles and combining it with the mi goreng.

SHIIIIIET

>>8807467
The only store that carries it around here gets it like twice a year and it's always the first flavor from that brand to sell out, it's not fair.

>>8816759
>He wants to live a long life

>>8813901
I love this shit. It's definitely pretty damn spicy, but still very edible. I crave this all the time

>>8816759
All things in moderation, Anon.

what do you lads put in your instant ramen?

>>8816886
Water silly

>>8816886
Usually an egg. Sometimes fresh vegetables.

>>8816886
No broth, just noodles and parmesan
im getting hard just thinking about it

>>8807595
I wouldn't compare Korean and Japanese Ramen because they are pretty different

>>8816886
bean sprouts, fishballs

>>8813901
sheeeit, I add more cayenne to it.

I bought some kind of shrimp flavored noodles at an asian store and it smelled and tasted like rotting fish. you have to be careful. MAMA tom yum is good though. I swear it used to be spicier years ago though.

>>8816886
Some combination of:
>egg
>fishballs
>veggies
>sausage

>>8816886
I've bought frozen philly cheese steak beef strips that are shaped into a little patty, throw one in the pan and brown it and break it up, add water seasoning and noodles. its pretty good.

>>8812054

Fuckin love Koka. Black pepper and seafood flavors are toptier.

>>8816759
Up your potassium intake to compensate. Sodium intake isn't the health issue, it's your ratio of sodium to potassium.

>its fukin raw

>>8816886
gook style 6min boiled egg halves, gotta be room temp before boiling and cooled immediately after.
frischkäse / cheese spread / couple slices american "cheese".
tom yum paste, soy, tsp sugar, sriracha, ham slices, already cooked chiggun cordon bleu slices from frozen shit aisle, freeze dried small veggies mix.
not all of that all the time, but even combined that would still be great.

>>8812214

Been on a kimchi kick, this sounds like the shit. Thanks anon

Aside from Nissin Cup Noodles are there any other instant noodles that have something to break the monotony of noodles inside? I am not going to bother adding fresh ingredients to instant food.

>>8818802
Packet noodles, rarely, but most of cup noodle brands and their flavors have condiments/garnishing. It's usually dried veggie and dried meat cubes, maybe a slice of fried tofu if it's one of those Kitsune Udon types. I've come across some Taiwanese brands that include stewed meat chunks vacuum-sealed in a packet, similar to canned meat.

how do i get into putting my own beef into instant ramen

it's a step i'm too afraid to take on my own

guide me

>>8815855
It tastes and smells like rubber, sweet rubber. It's spicy and good, but if I had to choose between the Samyang one and this, the Kim Jong Un chicken wins all the time.

>>8813901
This stuff was only just too spicy for me the first time I tried it.

Had another with chicken, mushroom, spring onions and an egg and it was great. One of the greatest benefits that I've seen an instant ramen have from adding things to it.

>>8819102
Dude just fry some beef in a pan and put it in your bowl of ramen

>>8819102
aight you lazy underaged fuck - cut your beef into thin slices, 2-3mm - however thin you can reasonable be arsed to. heat up a pan good, put in about two three tbsp of oil - it need not cover the whole bottom. put it in the slices, shit ought to be noisy and smoky - care for the smoke alarm. constantly stir the slices, if your heat is high enough they ought to brown in a minute or two. reduce heat to low, drizzle soy, lemon juice, sugar and something hot like cayenne or sriracha - if you are new to hot stuff one tsp sriracha per say 150g of meat, less is more unless hotness is all you want to taste. toss to coat for 30sec or so, heat off and off the stove if its electric. if you got it - fry minced ginger and or garlic in the oil before the meat, they will infuse the oil, fry till translucent unless you want to discard em before meat.

How fast will I die if I put spam in ramen

>>8819434
Cut them up into strips and tone down on the noodle's seasoning because the spam's plenty salty.

>>8819445
no no no that's not it I just want to know how fast I'll die

This was my shit before I just started eating shin ramyun black.

It's great, the noodles are good and stick to the sauce really well.

>>8819434
pan fry the spam until crispy first

If you have access, the instant ramen with fresh noodles is insanely delicious.

>>8815687
I've never had that slimy issue
Try adding chili powder to dry them out

>>8816886
Egg

>>8806396
It is the world emperor of instant ramen. If only they had a bowl for their instant noodles, I'd considered them the space gods of our time.

>>8806525
This is king! I can use this specific ramen for stir fry and soup. It's truly a runner up.

>>8820679
They do have a large cup.

>>8807308
Second this, I get the Tonkotsu and it's very good, fun to dress it up with peas/corn, an egg, a few chives and some furikake and whatever else you like.

Are there other air-dried instant noodles I should be aware of?

>>8820704
That's not considered instant noodle anymore but whatever.

>>8820679
they do....

>>8816886
Egg, green onion, kim chi

百勝廚 master race

>>8814302
Oh hey I know those. Kind of pricey at my store. Would rather just make the miso soup myself

>>8816886
Quarter teaspoon of bacon grease, frozen veggies, extra spices, usually a little bit of red miso, and some kind of protein, be it beef, egg, tofu, chicken, pork, or otherwise

This is my jam

Mama pork is the best kind
There's something about their noodles I love over other brands

Is it cheaper to just make your own broths and use those huge blocks of Asian noodles you can find at the supermarket

>>8820730
The air dried noodles cook literally just as fast, what's not instant about that

>>8822756
What noodles are those? Asian markets are a bit of a pilgrimage for me since they're so far away. And once I get to one, I never know what to look for.

>>8816886
two pieces of soft boiled eggs

>>8822756
I don't know if it's cheaper, but it definitely will be healthier.

>>8820679
They do, I have actually just bought one on the back of seeing it on here. 95p in Tesco so pretty cheap. Might try it later

>>8822756
Maybe if you cook a large batch for several servings. Instant noodles/Cup noodles are more for convenience though.

>>8823194
Dunno but all my regular grocery stores carry at least one or two brands, probably due to the large Asian population in Ontario

>>8812054
very popular in ireland

Do people actually enjoy Nissin and Maruchan stuff? I like Nongshim stuff but there's just such a wide gap between them. I don't understand how anyone eats the other two

>>8823569
I enjoy Maruchan, though I haven't noticed hardly any other brands at the stores at which I shop, so I haven't tried much else. It could still be terrible in comparison to other brands.

The only other instant ramen I've tried is Cup Noodle, which I didn't like.

>>8806406
/thread

I regret buying Mac&Cheese after seeing this thread
I need spice and I need it now

>>8823569
imported nissin a best

>>8813901

Tasty as fuck. I recently got a pack of the stew variety and it's great. The taste is seriously good, even if the spice is slightly subdued. I'm super keen to try out the 2x spicy version.

Unrelated: Anyone who doesn't boil their noodle cake and just does the hot water + bowl method should be banned.

>>8819434
they eat it with spam and hot dogs in korea so you should be fine

>>8825946
>not just pouring the hot water to the package and eat directly from there

>haven't eaten anything spicy in a while
>decided to throw a sliced up habanero into my maruchan

>>8816672
>not eating authentic jajangmyeon

haha

>>8806396
In North America sure, but any type of instant noodle in Asia is far superior. Something about food safety law and importing law means we can't get stuff with any actual meat in it, but all the noodles in Asia come with vacuum sealed sauces that have nice chunks of beef in them tons of actual fluid sauce as well. I can't even eat instant ramen here after living there for a while.

>>8826516
>Something about food safety law and importing law means we can't get stuff with any actual meat in it,

I have bought noodles like that from multiple different Asian supermarkets--several times in Houston, and once in Austin.

>>but all the noodles in Asia ....
Lolno. they have a range of noodles just like any other product. Some are dirt cheap and have no sauce at all. The fancier ones might have a retort pouch with meat and sauce. It's certainly not "all".

>>8826521
I don't know, I'm in Canada, maybe in the states your government isn't in everyone's business to some retarded extent but I've never once seen them here despite looking. And sure I was exaggerating with "all" but pretty much all the popular ones.

>>8807933
Dude what do you like about adding bell peppers? They add a freshness and a sweetness, but not what i look for in ramen

>>8809342
Don't you just love watching ching chongs ping pong?

>>8813901
I've cooked and eaten 2 of these at once and do so a few times a year.

>>8813901
This shit is a meme. No flavor, all spice

>>8815246
This dude. Fuck yes.

Tried some today thanks to this thread, pretty average really. Had a good bit more flavour than most instant ramen, even if it was a touch on the spicy side. Noodles seemed good quality but also quite oily at the same time which was a shame. Very salty too.

Not sure if I would buy them again, but then again I don't eat ramen often. Pretty good, but not great.

Nongshim tastes like garbage if you ever tried one of these

Don't you guys worry about all the food additives in those things?

>>8827482

I eat maybe one package of this every three months. Why would I care?

>tfw I keep an emergency package of Nongshim jjajang instant noodles for when my salt levels get too low

>>8827482

>>8818802
Check the asian section at your grocery store, there are tons of different types. Find one you like. Try indomie noodles, they literally have 5 sauce packets in one package for 60 cents and it tastes great. Like nissin cup noodles are the worst ramen in the entire world, especially chicken. The noodles taste like the styrofoam cup.

>>8806396
The only thing good about this shit is the packaging.

>>8831352
I'm guessing you're talking about Nissin USA's range. Nissin Thailand & Singapore offer much better ranges of flavors with a ton of garnishing. They've also moved past the shoddy styrofoam cups.

>>8816759
>>8817763
No, the problem with high sodium intake is the subsequent water holding. Your vessel have more pressure on them due to the extra water/salt in your blood and that can damage organs over time

>>8828368
>not soaking the unopened package in hot water and eating it

>>8828368
lmao

>>8807217

I literally just got this a couple days ago, but my mom (korean immigrant) was insisting I not because its different in that instructions say you're supposed to finish off prep by draining and stir frying to make it crispy.

Is that step necessary to preserve the spice or is it just a stylistic thing? I've been a shin ramen guy forever but my spice tolerance is getting higher so I need a way to step it up.

>>8832421
>stylistic
I don't think you know what that word means.

>>8832421
>Is that step necessary to preserve the spice

Nope.

>>8832421
It's supposed to be stir fried noodles. You boil them in hot water to re-hydrate, then stir fry and coat them in the sauce. Making a noodle soup out of the sauce weakens the spiciness.

The instructions are right on the back of the pack (inb4 you can't read Korean).

>>8806396
Are there any gluten free instant noodles? I've searched all over but my small town has nothing. I want ramen but im a glutard :(

>>8832471
Cut meat into thin stripes?

>>8832471
>my small town has nothing
That's what the internet and mail-order is for.

I'm not an expert on gluten, but would think that noodles made from things other than wheat would be gluten free. Have you looked into soba (buckwheat) or rice noodles?

>>8832500
Believe it or not, it is a thing to make noodles from pig skin. I've seen it done multiple times on various cooking programs. In one of them they actually used a pasta machine to cut the "noodles".

>>8831352
>Indomie

This. fried noodles is generally superior to cup ramen and you can get them at the asian market for 1.50 a pack of 5. Theres another brand called mi sedaap that is pretty much the same thing.

>>8806396
It's called "Shin," you jackass, and it's ramyun. Don't even put it in the same class as that jap garbage. Nongshim makes like 200 varieties of noodles.

>>8832471
Look for thai or vietnamese noodles, they tend to have some options made with rice. Not in a certified gluten free environment though

>>8832446
you're right wrong choice of words meant like the style of preparation

>>8832458
You are correct, I can't read Korean for shit. Was too busy learning spanish as a kid bc it was built into my school program whereas Korean called for Saturday school and I wasn't about it. Kind of regret not learning it now but eh I suppose its not too late I'm still youngish.

>>8806396
Nope. Pic related

Pic related is the king of instant ramen, anybody who says otherwise is just a pretentious contrarian.

>>8832684
Rice noodles are nice if you want some variety from the usual noodles, though there aren't many cup noodle brands that feature them.

That's not how you spell "sundae ramen"

>>8835019
Dude you misspelled Doll Instant Noodles

>>8833263
If you're fluent you should look into jobs that require two languages; they pay super well

>>8835184
>If you're fluent you should look into jobs that require two languages; they pay super well
Lol, no they don't.
It's just lies parents tell their kids.
If they pay so well, there will be no language tutors.

>>8835194
Yeah that was literally the job I was referring to

>>8835206

>>8832421 <this guy here. tried it last night wrecked my shit it was so good. How much do language tutors get paid?

>>8806734
Indomie uses instant ramen noodles, at least for their mi goreng, so it's technically ramen with mi goreng sauce and flavoring.

Just had it with eggs. It's good. Just not 2,50 Eur good.

Never had instant laksa before, this one comes with coconut milk powder. Dunno if other instant laksas also do this. Anyways, my point is you can just buy cheaper indomies and add coconut milk powder on your own.

Not recommended, unless you've never had laksa in your life and want to try it. It's similar enough to the real thing.

For me it is Nongshim Hot & Spicy. The best weeb ramen. It comes with narutomaki in it.

>>8833263
I wouldn't feel bad for it, American English is my first language and I had to pay for Chinese lessons in addition to Korean (chink + gook here). I still speak both with an American accent.

>>8835890
What's narutomaki?

>>8835947

It's one of many types of fish cake. Specifically the one with the pink colored spiral in it.

>>8835947
It's basically reformed fish product that's been dyed. Tastes like bland fish sticks.

>>8835958
>reformed fish product.
Sounds fucking awful. I'll never understand the Asian fascination with overly processed crap.

>>8835966
That's racist.

>>8835966

How is that any different than, I dunno...McDonalds? Or a hot dog?

>>8835958
That's that whirlpool type shit right? I tried it ramen once, had a fake fish taste that somehow managed to be bland at the same time (Japanese food general).
They look fucking stupid and aren't worth having especially if they cost extra like they do at Itsu.

>>8835987
McDonald's and hotdogs are overly processed but they taste good.
Narutomaki doesn't, it adds nothing to the dish apart from looking quirky.

>>8835996

I've got no complaints about your taste preferances there (I don't care for narutomaki either).

But I fail to see how this makes the Asians any more or less fascinated with "overly processed" foods, which was the topic of >>8835966. Taste wasn't part of that discussion.

>>8836013
Just saying they're obsessed with western fast food and anything that's 'modern' or none traditional to them.
I've seen nip tourists in London buying up pop tarts by the case load. It's bizarre as fuck.

>>8836020
>and anything that's 'modern' or none traditional to them.

That's no different than any other culture. How many whiteboys go nuts buying "muh exotic japanese sodas, noodles, and candy" at the Asian market?

>>I've seen nip tourists in London buying up pop tarts by the case load. It's bizarre as fuck.
It's not bizzare at all. I've seen all kinds of people going nuts buying shitty hershey's bars here in the US.

>>8836020
I don't know about pop tarts but they sure love their carbs/refined sugars.
The Japanese have had a massive increase in rates of dental decay and even diabetes the past decade as their diet becomes more westernized and industrial food processes take the fore.
Japan's culture and heritage is on the wane as the youth crave a more American and Northern European lifestyle. It's a little sad but it's a form of progress, albeit probably an unfortunate one.

>>8835990
>somehow managed to be bland at the same time (Japanese food general)
Unrefined taste buds.

>>8836069
Weeb plz leave.

>>8815687
Seems like you might be cooking them for too long, I actually cook them in the bowl just by pouring boiling water over them then add the sauce. The one time I boiled them in the pan I got that sliminess.

>>8825946
Hot water + Bowl is GOAT my man, keeps the consistency that I like in my noodles.

>>8836079
And let people with undeveloped taste buds stay? This is why /ck/ is a bad board.

>>8836344
Not him but it's probably time you go and have a Pocky resupply.

>>8831305
I bought 4 bowls online from China. Are they really that bad?

>>8836366
Is that suppose to be an insult? Really weird.

>>8808606
>2 lbs of salt

>>8810837
i like the cup sized portions over having to make and down a regular packet of the stuff but i noticed the noodles you get in the cup version turn to mush a lot quicker.

>>8807170
the chilli oil and the thicker noodles make this so bomb

>>8806533

hi hans.

>>8826604

Where you get it from? Can't find it at T&T.

>>8807217
That shit is literally "NUCLEAR spicy chicken foot noodles"

nuclEEr spice chick chick foodles
nuc nuc spise spise choot nood

>>8807461
damn, that shit is GOOD

>>8816686
this is even better than regular shin

>>8819462
Absolutely one of my all-time favorites, espeically the spicy chicken one

Used to have these all the time.

They're not horrible if you haven't had good miso soup lately.

>>8837386
Who dat delicious semen demon?

>>8808599
Put a whole packet of crushed red pepper, like the kind you get with pizza. Perfect amount for a single package and makes that shit pretty hot.

>>8826680
Of you are in the US, try Yamibuy. It's like an online asian supermarket. Free shipping over $35.

>>8806690
>>8806843

get samyang and just add egg/bok choy/meat of your choice and enjoy the spice

>>8810380
I agree. It's the powder and the noodle quality, imo. Both are shit compared to Maruchan.

>>8806533
>>8809426
>>8835872
This is the U.S. price currently

which do I eat today

beyond the jjajang flavor, I ate that yesterday

>>8806396
is this different than the bowl version? My walmart only has the bowl one but this thread makes me want to go get a few.

>>8839753
Nice n Spicy Pot Noodle is the only nostalgia food I ever think about other those I remember while browsing nostalgia threads. I think about them all the time.

>>8840783
Yea they have different taste, almost like two different flavor. The bagged one is a lot spicier. I prefer the bowl version.

>>8815890
If I want instant jajang, I always go for pic related. Chapagetti is my dad's favourite instant noodle of all time, though. So much so that he calls all jajangmyeon Chapagetti.

>>8806515

isn't nissin like the the og ramen? i mean the brand

For me nissin is better than maruchan

>>8828322
Top Ramen IS Nissin

>>8839753
The Bombay Bad Boy is mouth-scorching trash but I still like making noodle sandwiches with it and buttered bread.

>>8833660
Might be OK just sprinkled with the powder, but too watery and bland as is.

>>8815246
swear by this stuff. its pricey but amazing for packaged noodles

>tfw people find shin raymun spicy

R8 my haul

>>8807461
UFO will always be my goto.

>>8843262
? You don't buy Indomee in 5-packs?

>>8843262
the stew style spicy chicken isnt very good

>>8843311
Not available here.
In fact there is literally one supermarket selling this thing.
>>8843319
Which one? Nongshim spicy or the black one?

>>8806396
>>8811290
these are the best. my only issue is with nongshim pretty much discontinuing hot and spicy in the stores I go to. or so the stores discontinuing hot and spicy.
you can make due with gourmet spicy if you buy it in the packet and use less water than usual.

In the cup it tastes horrid if you grew up with hot and spicy.

still though these are the best noodles you can get.

>>8843327
the spicy black one. the drained noodle one is superior, in my opinion

>>8843376
you will never understand the true power of nongshim ramen until you try hot and spicy. once you do that gourmet spicy will never be the same.

>>8843381
Drain?
You're supposed to stir-fry this one

>>8843387
maybe its not the one Im thinking of. youll know because the stew style one has these gross flat noodles that have no bite to them

>>8843396
Nah this one isn't flat. It's the usual thick korean noodle.

>>8843327
>Not available here.
They sell indomee packs individually? I have a feeling you're getting ripped-off big time.

>>8843387
Most of the "dry" instant noodles only recommend you drain the water away and mix it up with the sauce. You can always stir-fry them if you choose, though.

>>8843400
ah good, sorry I fed you bullshit. this is the one I was thinking of

>>8843421
Nah it explicitly tells you to stir-fry

>>8819491
Tonkotsu master race.

>>8806396
No contest

>>8806533
Fuck yuuuuussss, the best

>>8835890
I used to eat nothing BUT these fucking noodles before they started selling them here without the MSG

I miss them but I don't know where to buy there to ensure im getting them from Korea instead of the shitty US manufacture
