Just the right amount of kimchi
Ugh, If you mean kimichi as in the liquor that's disgusting :disgust:
There's a liquor named after that stuff?
Nope, I messed up. Kimichi is that disgusting blend of garlic, cabbage, and peppers iirc. It's a food though, not a drink. Not sure what I was thinking of Nevertheless, it's still disgusting

I dont like Soo Tah Myun... too spicy for me.
Not a big fan of Shin La Myun either.
I prefer Nuh Goo Ri and Saporo Ichiban.

Unless eating pickles makes you vomit, it really shouldn't...since all kimchi is spiced pickled cabbage you wack job.

miso pork ramen from scratch pwns all you.
Yes...ramen can be made from scratch without the chemically imbued noodles and artificial flavoring. Takes freakin forever to make the stock tho.
I am the ramen king...j00 all must phear me.

Ramen is terrible. I ran out of food at my place once and all I had left was ramen and I was too lazy to go to the store so I just had ramen for a few days. No harm in that, right?
Toward the end of my ramen-only experience I went and played ultimate frisbee for a couple of hours. It was hot and I was playing hard and as a consequence I was sweating a lot. By the time I was done I had a layer of salt visibly crusted all over my face and shirt and arms and... Well it was disgusting.
I have sworn off ramen to this day.
Smell just about as bad as fish sauce.Originally posted by: Jehovah

P.S.: CHALLENGE! - not for the title of ramen king, but proof of your royal status of ramenia, the holy ramen land where . . . uh, I'm digressing.
Anyhoo, the challenge is: make a ramen dish that is even half presentable with AMERICAN RAMEN, the lowliest of ramen noodles!
So long as it only has to be HALF presentable...I don't see the problem. Here are some tangents you can go on.
soak the noodles in cold water for about 20 minutes or until they become pliable like lasagna. pull them out and drain. lay flat and let dry for about 2-4 minutes. Brush on melted butter and let soak. Repeat a few times, getting a decent, but not obscene amount of butter soaked into the noodles. pan fry the noodles in very tight sheets using a frying mold until they become golden brown outside. if you're using the godawful chicken flavor, you can take the soup packet and water and drizzle in a beaten egg or two for a reasonable facsimile of egg drop soup. Serve noodle sheets with soup. Else, just sprinkle the packet contents lightly on noodles after cooking. It should stick from all the butter u used.
Or just use a soba stock with the noodles...the noodles will soak up the stock quickly so you can use just a little bit.
if you really have your heart set on the ramen experience and don't have an extra dime or two for a better ramen, soak the noodles in ice water instead of boiling them. They still become soft, but they hold a noodle texture just a tad better IMO. Make the stock seperately with only half or 3/4 the packet, use a smidge of miso paste and bean powder for taste if that's your bag and stir it up. WARM the soup but don't boil it unless you like strange soup. If it tastes funny, you overcooked it. let the noodles dry out on paper towels...then serve the noodles with the warm/hot soup poured on top and let them soak for a few seconds. Serve with an apple VERY thinly sliced on a seperate dish (like, each slice is the width of about 4 cds stacked on top of each other) to sweeten the palate. Then again, if you had an apple, you wouldn't be eating cheap ramen now would you?
Did I pass? Those should all be HALF presentable....tho I'd much prefer a nice pesto.
