College students

Also depressed 30-odd year olds who've been eating it for 20. Fucking. Years.

Im tired.

[-] Wrench@lemmy.world 41 points 9 months ago

Get a better quality instant noodle from an Asian market. Put frozen dumplings and veggies in it while bringing to a boil. Crack an egg in there right after putting the noodles.

Through very little effort, you've leveled up your Ramen to close to restaurant quality bachelor food.

Through very little effort

I'd like to introduce you to depressed people

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

Sleep for dinner sounds like a lot less effort

[-] kraftpudding@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Honestly some days rhe thought of putting a kette on sounds too much. There's always bread.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Ya know, bread and noodles are basically the same thing anyway.

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Butter that bread and fill it full of noodles? You got yourself a sandoodle.

He’s been malnourished for 20 years, does that sound okay to you?

[-] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 9 months ago

Nope. But thanks <3

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

Add some frozen veggies, siracha, an egg and some rotisserie chicken. Super cheap still.

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Dehydrated onion goes a long way too. Frozen dumplings too, if you can find them cheap.

I know this is memes, but instant noodles weren't invented to prevent starvation. On launch they were actually many times more expensive than fresh noodles.

I visited some friends in Japan. On my way out, one gave me a couple premium looking bowls of instant Ramen.

I was like "oh hey, thanks, but that takes up a lot of space. I don't have room in my luggage"

He just said "for airport" and it was all clear. I ate like a champ!

[-] polle@feddit.de 7 points 9 months ago

How did you get hot water at the airport?

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 8 points 9 months ago

Last time I passed through Taipei they had a water dispenser by the restrooms that had options for searing hot and "cold" water (it was lukewarm at best). I'd imagine Japan would have something similar.

[-] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Some of the premium ones are self heating so you just can add bottled water

[-] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Wtf for real? Why don't we have those?

I've had truly instant ramen when my friend's brother came back from Japan. Dude brought a bunch of cool shit back, including a few cases of self heating ramen and a carton of self lighting cigarettes. Japan is like 500 years in the future.

[-] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

The future as imagined 30 years ago.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Back when it was something to look forward to

I sincerely hope people aren't still smoking cigarettes in 500 years.

I don't know why anyone would choose ramen as a poverty meal. Beans cost about the same and are far more nutritious.

[-] shinratdr@lemmy.ca 39 points 9 months ago

Good thing I’m a nutrient consuming robot who just needs fuel to power my circuits and not a human who has to taste things.

Frankly I don’t know why the grocery store has anything other than just beans. It would save so much time.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

Because it's easier to make, easy to clean up, and NOODLES!

Maybe they don't like beans. I don't generally like beans unless they're in something else.

Ground beef and flour. If I weren't allergic to wheat and all carbs didn't give me diarrhea then i could make a million meals out of those.

What's your favorite instant ramen?

Mine has to be Nissin Raoh. It's so god damn delicious. It's the closest thing to a real Japanese ramen shop experience.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Indomie. This stuff cooks up more like a lo mein than the normal instant ramen (noodles floating in broth), but if you want to try something different:

https://www.amazon.com/Indomie-Instant-Noodles-Chicken-Flavor/dp/B000VSDCH4

Barbeque Chicken is the good one (it's like Korean BBQ)

Comes with 3 separate sauce packs, dry seasoning, and fried onion - boil the noodles, strain all the water out, mix all the packets together except the onion, then add them to the noodles. Mix the onion in right before serving (it'll get squishy otherwise).

Add meat/veggies/egg if you're feeling fancy.

By far the best instant ramen I've found.

That looks great, I'll have to try it.
My faves are nong shin: Red and Black
I think black is probably similar to your Raoh.

Pro tip for ramen with a packet of seasoning. Only use like 1/4 of that seasoning. It will still taste awesome and you wont feel like shit after you eat it.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 9 months ago

I recommend using the whole packet and just using slightly less water so you actually have some flavor left that isn't watered down.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 11 points 9 months ago

And add a dash of sesame oil

[-] Bears_Koolaid@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

This is one of the best improvements you can make to instant ramen. At work I keep sesame oil, furikake, hard/soft boiled eggs, and bonito flakes. Makes every lunch super easy and super delicious. Especially if you have access to boiling water. I keep an electric kettle at my desk for this reason.
