Ramen Noodles  

Everyone in my house loves noodles!. I wouldn't go so far as to stay they don't like noodles and eat it just because its cheap and is the only food in the house available for concumption. I'm not going to make that assumption because there's always a choice. You can choose to eat noodles. I disliked the idea they never had Ramen Noodles in school when I was younger. It hurt my feelings that I had to wait the whole day until I got home to eat.

I see you have a picture of a different type of cup noodles on your post. I like ppicy flavored noodles because they were always not too spicy they were just right. I never tried Shin Ramyun, which sounds smiliar to Ramen, but I would like to. I was eating noodles before I was born so its kind of hard to let them go.

Ramen is commonly known in Japan. Sounds the same with Ramyun, or 'Ramyeon,' yet this one comes from Korea. Korea also has a lot of spicy food. I think this is quite popular and available everywhere now-a-days.

I hope that you can find one and enjoy. However, it would really be more special if you can go to a Korean restaurant that serves this kind of noodles which beats any food that is not processed, but real and natural ('_^ )

is there a curry flavor of ramen. none that i know of here in my country. we have usually beef, chicken, pork and shrimp. but never heard of that curry. though i really love curry flavor. maybe because curry is not a popular thing that our people use in their food. only few of our food recipes make use of a curry when cooking.

at first i don't understand what Ramen Noodles. but when i saw the pic, yeah i eat a lot of that before. but now i don't like it if not hate it. cause i feel that they are bad to health.

Some japanese restarants sell Ramen Noodles and they put all types of goodies in it.

The beef flavor is the best. After eating chicken flavor my whole life I naturally turned to beef. Now I can't stand chicken. I can't even tolerate being around chicken flavored noodles. I don't want to see none of my family members eating them its anooying. I guess when your body is so used to eating a certain food for a long time it automatically rejects it. The human body can act weird sometime.

I've seen the Oriental flavor at Walmart, but have never tried them. Sometimes I use the noodles without the seasoning as a base for stir fry... I might try the oriental noodles in a stir fry next time though.

I haven't had Oriental flavored noodles in years. I used to cook those noodles Rice-n-roni style. Fry the noodles, pour water in them, and let the seasoning steam into them. They taste very good with vegetables put into them.

I agree those noodles ar ehigh in sodium but we still eat them every single day. Only once a month? I couldn't imagine being deprived of Ramen noodles for once a month. Thats like depriving me of water. Its needed! I think Ramen noodles are the cheapest for fulfilling food on earth. Its a cheap man's dinner.

There are a ton here. My brother likes to eat them and do all sorts of stuff with them. They even have a cook book out there that is JUST recipes using Ramen Noodles.

Thanks, lilybug! I just bookmarked that site!!

I do make a few meals with Ramen Noodles... these are not listed on that site so far as I could tell:

With cooked chicken ramen noodles (water drained), add some bite size chicken pieces, corn, peas, carrots etc... make your own home made instant lunch!

With cooked (and drained) oriental ramen noodles (or plain noodles without seasoning packet) add stir fry veggies, whatever sort of meat you want, and a stir fry type sauce.

Sometimes I'll use the flavoring packet to season my chicken or pork, then use the noodles in the stir fry.

Thanks lilybug for the site information. I am going to go there immediately. I need ideas for cheaper meals. Kat, your variety sounds good and as you drain off the water then the salt content would be lower, right?

Yeah, cuz most of it ends up in the water, but honestly, we add the flavor packets after we drain the water off usually. Hubby will leave a bit more water when he makes it for the family though.

I've already l;ooked at the site that lilybug gave and they have amazing recipes. We are going to have a tough month this month ansd so I expect to be using them frequently. Thanks kat

We love Ramen noodles. They are a quick meal or snack to hold you over. You can actually try adding different types of ingredients for a twist. WE sometimes stir in an egg and it looks like eggdrop soup. Add some chopped green onion and salt and pepper and it really is an oriental meal!

I can't believe we actually started a really long thread about noodles. This just prove to everyone that noodles are a neccessity! Everyone eats them!

Sometimes I'll use the packet to season chicken or pork chops. I'll also mix the season packet with crushed crackers to coat chicken or pork. A little goes a long way.

I'll then pour stir fry veggies and chicken over plain noodles another night.

That sounds wonderful. All of it. We don't eat pork, except for bacon once in a blue moon.. but I love it. The stir fry veggies is something I'd like to do. I did do some veggies and put some ramen in there without the packet.. I have a blood pressure problem, and I hold fluid if I have salt... so I really stay away from it.

i love ramen noodles. there are some that feels good like from japan, thailand, and indonesia. my favorite is indomie

If I make the noodles into a stir fry type of thing, I'll reserve the seasoning packet for a different meal, and instead I'll add a stir fry sauce to the noodles w/ the veggies. The store sells "stir fry sauce" and I'll add a bit of ground ginger, garlic, soy sauce... whatever else. I like flavor! I don't exactly watch my salt (but I'm still young), so I don't know if that sauce is as bad as the packets. But maybe you could look into it.
