I could live on ramen (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

I mean right?

 

[Das Boot]

Yeah, but I just read something not too long ago about them being pretty unhealthy.

Tasty, but unhealthy.

 

[Christo]

Yep. Tasty but loaded with salt and fat, and many brands are carcinogenic.

 

[Koya]

Are we talking 25c bags, or Ippudo?

I'm down either way, fwiw. However, the latter is simply heavenly.

 

[Mr. Ected]

Used to make them all the time growing up; tossed the flavor pack and used the herbs and spices in my mom's kitchen.

only thing worse than ramen is nutella

 

[East Coast Bias]

I mean right?

You wouldn't last a day.

Oh...another thread about Otis.

My Japanese friend took me to the best noodle shop in Tokyo. It was good but not as good as instant ramen.

Sure, until you die of a heart attack.

Your mistake was not pouring a pound of salt in it like ramen has.

Yes, I did think it was not salty enough but it would have been rude to ask for salt or soy sauce because I was the guest.

 

[Eephus]

I'm usually not big on boiled eggs but those marinated medium boiled Ramen eggs are the best

 

[Your Mother's Twin Sister]

Only a rich, fat guy would say this.

 

[Mr. Retukes]

I sometimes eat the raw noodles like potato chips.

Oats, you live in Manhattan, right? If so, that puts you in the middle of quite possibly the culinary bulls eye of Ramen in the U.S. right now.

David Chang just tearing it up with the Momofuku operation, which I pray you're aware of:

If you don't know, be there tomorrow.

And upping that ante exponentially is the fact that Manhattan quite possibly has more culinary talent per square foot than any other US city (no offense Chicago and San Francisco), so you've got several talented toques chasing his coattails blazing the latest food trend, which is nice - talented guys pushing each other only works in the dining public's favor...we're doing a pretty great job with high-end Ramen down here in Metro DC as well. If anyone is coming to visit, I'm happy to advise about the Lord's Work that several of my peers and mentors are knocking out of the park currently.

...and that Ramen is exponentially better than Top Ramen from a nutritional standpoint, which is a nice bonus.

 

[kutta]

Throw a fried egg on top and you're all set

 

[EYLive]

You can also die on ramen.

Poached FTW.

 

[John Bender]

Drain water, throw out seasoning packs and mix with sambal

 

[Binky The Doormat]

How about just a big salt lick and someone can shoot you?

 

[Plorfu]

Is this the new diet fad?

 

[timschochet]

Wait, aren't you the guy on the Atkins diet? Isn't Ramen like full of carbs?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

real ramen or like stove top ramen that costs a dime?

 

[Zow]

I have honestly never eaten Ramen in my life.

Blasphemy!

Real ramen is the best thing about living in Japan. Comparing it to instant is like comparing steak to baloney.

 

[Ned]

[mr roboto]

I've never had 'real' ramen. Just the instant stuff. What's the real thing like?

 

[VA703]

It would cost you only about $140 a year if you ate ramen for every meal.

And since it usually costs the consumer about 13 cents a package (depending on where they live), it will only cost you $142.65 dollars a year if you decide to live off of it. To put this in perspective: The average American spends $7,852 on food a year.

Have you tried Ippudo? Simply awesome.

Real ramen is delicious. That other crap should be called something else out of respect

The Japanese seem to disagree. Plus, it's only "Lo Mein"

What ramen do you like in DC?

Wife's brother took us to Toki Underground while we were visiting. Mega-awesome, and apparently the chef is a guy plucked straight off the mean streets of the Tapei ramen circuit. Although the guys sitting next to us made every effort to tell us how much more awesome Daikaya was than the slop we were being offered. Toki - Daikaya is apparently a DC ramen rivalry comparable in intensity to Auburn vs Alabama.
