Let's settle this. Do you:

a) boil water in a pot on the stove, add the noodles and cook them

b) put the noodles in a bowl filled with water and microwave until cooked

c) boil water separately, place noodles in a bowl, pour over hot water and allow to sit on the bench until cooked

Justify your answer.

Boil water in kettle, pour into noodles,
Microwave for 2 minutes drain a little water, add favours.

I do C if I'm feeling really fucking lazy. But never B. Makes the noodles too soggy for me.

[Anonymous No.10505487]

>>10505452
You know that you don't need to microwave if on top of using boiling water, right? The noodles will only take an extra minute longer to cook just sitting in the hot water than the would if you used the microwave.

It's quicker and keeps the soup hot

How hot does the soup need to be?

[Anonymous No.10505519]

B just seems depressingly lazy, and I don't need more reasons to feel shitty if I'm already making dollar ramen. I guess it works, so whatever, I shouldn't judge.
C is my go to, boiling water from the kettle, pour over noodles in a bowl. Typically I'll drain half the water once they're cooked before adding the seasoning.
The nice thing about kettle vs. microwave is using the extra minute or two to cut up some green onion and prep a mug of tea.
Tea + ramen = max comfy

d) microwave ramen with water to a boil, let sit for 5-10 minutes, add flavour packet and mix.

do i need to throw in an egg and crackers to not be a plebeian? Do only pussies have patience?

sorry I enjoy having more volume, texture, and flavour.

>egg
no, you don't have to. it helps sure but I don't expect anyone to go hard everytime on a 50 cent meal
>crackers
don't even fuckin joke m8
>more flavour
using the usual amount of seasoning in the usual amount of water? what? how is that more?
>more volume, more texture
You realize that as volume increases, texture decreases? Those noodles might be bigger but they're inflated with the bare minimum seasoning; you got soggy bland noods, dood

[Anonymous No.10505742]

>>10505724
>>10505734
to clarify, soggy noodles = soft noodles, like dissolve in your mouth, which is what happens when you let your ramen sit for for longer than it takes to eat it

[Anonymous No.10505746]

>>10505446
boil with kettle, then put on stove top and continue boiling until rolling boil, then add frozen vegetables

[Anonymous No.10505767]

>>10505734
Adding the packet too soon makes the noodles absorb the flavour, and it isn't gonna come back out just for your tongue. Having more water also reduces the flavour because not as much will stick to the noodles.
Letting it sit prevents both, but you could also just pour some water out after.
If you don't add too much water the noodles won't be all soggy and the top will just be a little bit tough and sometimes even a bit crunchy.

[Anonymous No.10505772]

>>10505446
use kettle to boil water, pour boiling water into pot, boil noodles on the stove
add sachet into bowl, add three or four or five spoons of the boiling water, mix
drain noodles, add to bowl
this way you get hot water fast, cook the noodles fast and even, no need to measure the water, all the powders are dissolved and rehydrated, and dont have too much soup

[Anonymous No.10505787]

>>10505767
obviously agree that too much water is only detrimental
I am a proponent of pouring some out before adding the packet
mainly taking umbrage with the sitting time
agree to disagree on that

Heat up the stove while i get the water and noodle packets

bring to boil until the noodles aren't hard anymore, wait 1 more min and then put them in a bowl

boil water, add flavor, veggies and meat
then put noodles and eggs

[Anonymous No.10506019]

>>10505446
None of these. You should fry the noodles and add eggs, beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, whatever. Check YouTube for fried ramen recipes.
Tastes better and you might forget that you are a poor fag who can only afford ramen for dinner.

you don't need instant ramen for this. just buy some real fancy noodles.

[Anonymous No.10506311]

C) for me. Its the easiest one because I have a machine to boil water really fast for tea and such, so its pretty convenient

A) gives the best result and you can add extra ingredients, buts its a mendokusai as fuck, comparatively

B) yields the worst result. I've only done it in situations of necessity, like not having a method of boiling water efficiently

>put pot on stove preheating it
>boil the water
>open the packet of ramen
>turn off the stove
