How do you make ramen noodles that taste like the stuff you buy in stores at home? What makes up those powder packets?

Just to clarify..
You’re wanting to make a homemade version of cheap shitty instant noodles that tastes like cheap shitty instant noodles?

I have an irrational fear that random conveniently made and ready foods stop being available so I want to learn how to make all the foods I like out of scratch

today I learned how to make ranch dressing and ramen seasoning. Tomorrow, we will see.

If cheap instant noodles become unavailable, it means we’re in the apocalypse and are going to die anyway.

But to answer your question, the “seasoning” is just salt and mostly-artificial flavor with a dash of MSG.

But the seasoning is secondary. If you want to replicate the “cheap ass instant noodle” experience, you need to add some oil. The noodles in instant ramen are deep fried to partially cook them and remove moisture. That’s why they’re ready so much quicker than actual dried noodles.

there is a method of chemical spraying that can turn any solid food with a water content into a powder form - I believe the modernist cuisine writes about it in their noodle section of the books.

also, you're asking the wrong dudes my dude. but, the real secret behind matching that flavor is coca cola, book of mormon, colonel spice tier top secret hush-hush.

Try chicken base, or beef base. Shrimp use its shells for the broth. If you want the oriental soak some porcini or shiitake mushroom and add some soy sauce. Then simply add some green onions carrots and corn.

There’s not much salt in our ramen packets compared to how salty the real chink’s ramen is. They make their shit salty as hell.

Buy "Knorr chicken bouillon". It already has the MSG in it.

[Anonymous No.15422921]

>>15419464
OP just add MSG and some kind of nice flavored fat.
Use something like sesame oil if you can't be assed to make an actual aroma oil. MSG does the rest of the magic.

Look up Alex's ramen series on YouTube. He goes down a pretty deep rabbit hole in some aspects of it, but in one of the videos he tries four different techniques to make the broth. I remember one being too simple to have great flavor, and another one going off the deep end, but he had a couple of middle ground solutions that were pretty easily doable.
