I love Ramen! One of the best staples for a horrendous cook like me. I like to boil the noodles and then fry them. It's definitely a yum-yuck situation. |

I like an egg in mine...like egg drop soup!!!!! |
| mandy | | (reply to confetti) posted 25-Aug-2001 12:47am |
What kind of oil do you fry them in?...that sounds good.... |
Zang  | | posted 25-Aug-2001 12:56am |
I used to eat them a lot. I like to add meat or egg, vegetables, and sate sauce. |
| SueBee | | posted 25-Aug-2001 1:07am |
I usually eat it like soup, but if I'm really hungry I'll put an egg in it. |
| SueBee | | posted 25-Aug-2001 1:09am |
Oh, and I discovered by mistake that I like it better if I let it cook longer so most of the liquid cooks out, and the noodles get kind of mushy. |
| Cleo | | posted 25-Aug-2001 4:29am |
I cook it al dente then pour it into a large saimin bowl add julenne sliced Spam,thinly sliced green onions,(omelette like cooked)eggs sliced julenne style,Kamaboku(Japanese fish cake),bean sprouts,Kim Chee(spicy Chinese WonBok Cabbage) & Tofu. & when available,Char sui(Chinese sweet red pork)Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.Hungry now! Great survey.More food related surveys........
BTW in Hawaii this dish is called Saimin & they have places called Saimin Stands that serve this along with Teriyaki soaked BarBQ meat on a stick. Kinda like you would have hambugers with fries. Well, it's Saimin & BarBQ meat there. |

I usually add some vegetables and a splash of tabasco, then pour boiling water over the whole mess. I start eating once the noodles will bend. |

For a quick Asian soup, I like to add fresh grated ginger, fresh greens (like cilantro and shallots) and a little cooked shrimp or chicken. Mmm! C'est si bon! |
| confetti | | (reply to mandy) posted 25-Aug-2001 11:46am |
Butter, with a little barbecue sauce. |
| anoddoblivion | | posted 25-Aug-2001 1:01pm |
I drain some of the water after they have made the noodles mushy, and then put in flavoring. If you put in the flavoring, then drain some or all of the water out, then the flavoring (which is mostly in the water, barley clinging to the noodle) is all gone. |
| anoddoblivion | | posted 25-Aug-2001 1:02pm |
I also must add stuff like season salt, and is I have some type of meat, I might add it, if I'm not lazy.

oh........How bizarre......I'll have to try that..... |
| Enheduanna | | posted 25-Aug-2001 2:37pm |
I used to make it mostly according to the directions, but I'd stir an egg into it. I haven't had ramen in years. |
| Cleo |
Why not? Do they not carry it in your local grocery stores where you live?  If not,let me know & I'll send you some.  |
| Cleo | | (reply to confetti) posted 25-Aug-2001 10:31pm |
The Japanese saimin stands serve it that way in Hawaii,but they call it Butter Yaki Saimin(Ramen).I've had it that way & it's not bad.  |
| Cleo | | (reply to mandy) posted 25-Aug-2001 10:34pm |
Egg drop soup! mmmm.....mmmmm.....mmmm.I love egg drop soup.Haven't had it for quite a while now. |

I am so very happy that I no longer have to eat Ramen noodles. |
| NANNERMUFFlN | | posted 26-Aug-2001 9:18am |
I break up the noodles before I cook 'em. Used to eat ramen alot when I was a poor college student. You could eat for a week on just a little bit of cash. Now days I eat them out of nostalgia more than anything else. |
| confetti | | (reply to Cleo) posted 26-Aug-2001 11:01am |
It IS nice. |

I eat Batchelors Super Noodles! |
| Enheduanna | | (reply to Cleo) posted 26-Aug-2001 12:44pm |
No, it's easy to get. I just don't feel like it's real food, so I don't eat it anymore. |
| SueBee | | posted 26-Aug-2001 2:11pm |
I think ramen is great when you're really hungry and want something that's very quick and easy to prepare. It sure is a lot cheaper than most convenience foods. |
| Oscar | | posted 26-Aug-2001 5:20pm |
I like to cook it according to the package and drain all the water and eat just the flavored noodles.
I also like to put cheese on top of the noodles.
Hot sauce tastes good too. |
| Cleo | | (reply to confetti) posted 26-Aug-2001 6:07pm |
I like making mine from scratch.Do you like to make your own from scratch or do you like going to a restaurant & having it served to you? Sending you your name tomorrow.Hope you like it.  |
| Cleo |
OIC,I thought for a while there that they didn't carry it in your state. BTW I'm pretty much caught up,on making styro foam names,for some of the people here at SC.Would you like to have your name,hand sculpted in styro foam & painted in your favorite color for free?If you do please E-mail me your snails address & don't forget your favorite color.So far the most popular colors right now are,BLUE,RED,LAVENDeR,PURPLE & TEAL.So far I've only had one request for the following color(which is kinda cool)BLACK,BURGuNDY,GREY,YELLOW.So far no request for PINK.GREEN,ORANGE,SILVER OR GOLD.

Oh, wonderful! Thanks! Oh no, I am hardly gifted enough to make noodles from scratch. |
| Cleo | | (reply to confetti) posted 26-Aug-2001 9:11pm |
No,No,I ment the soup,not the noodles.I can make soup from scratch,but noodles? huh..huh...I'm not THAT good.Even if I knew how to make noodles from scratch or owned a noddle making machine,I STILL wouldn't.There's just too much work involved in it.Not only do I not have any patience,I have no time. I'm no Martha Stewart,that's for sure.More like Kate Bundy from "Married With Children" Hey,that would make an interesting survey question."What character do you most identify with on t.v.?" Or something like that. |
| SueBee | | (reply to Cleo) posted 27-Aug-2001 1:05am |
That's a good idea for your first survey!
I tried that miso soup today, the one with the tofu in it, and it was yummy! Thanks again! |
| ASexyBabe | | posted 27-Aug-2001 1:43pm |
I cook them, drain them, then add the seasoning. |

| Cleo | | (reply to SueBee) posted 27-Aug-2001 10:36pm |
Yeah,I thought you'd like that. There's more where that came from. SueBee would you please take that idea & do something with it??Your better at it than I. Please,please,please,I have no faith in myself to do it.You go ahead & put your name to it. That would make a good survey question,huh? Hurry now, so I can answer it. |
| Cleo | | (reply to ASexyBabe) posted 27-Aug-2001 11:06pm |
Yep!!! I sure did.....I just don't know what's up with the U.S. postal system lately!! Your like the 4th Sc user to have problems with the mail. Jkiehart's name mailed out ....Friday 8/10.......Received...Sun 8/26 Miaow...........mailed out.....Friday 8/10.......Received...Tue 8/21 Kate's package could have gotten frequent flyer mileages,had it been a human being.But,that was my fault,not the post office. Kate's name was sent out on 8/8 but it was returned to me,inadvertently I had put the numbers for her address,too closely like: (123 4th St.) (12 34th St.) so her package was returned to me.& I had to send it back to her again 8/23 (the same day I had sent Jkiehart's 2nd name,cause she STILL hadn't received the 1st name yet) Yours & ASBT's names were sent out the same day as Bills,Tuesday 8/21.But,Bill received his name this past Saturday 8/25. But,look at this,I had sent Biggles name on Mon.8/13 & she had received hers on Saturday 8/18 & she lives all the way on the other side of the world.**scratching her head**Go figure.... I just don't know what's up with our postal system.It should be there this week.......for sure... |

Good lord, how do you keep track of all that?! You must have it all written down somewhere. |
| Cleo | | (reply to SueBee) posted 27-Aug-2001 11:41pm |
Yep! I sure do. My key board is sitting right on top of a GIGANTIC office type calendar about 24"x20" Whenever I mail something out,I write it down.When someone tells me they received their mail,I write it down.I'm kinda like keeping track of the post office (so to speak) & I don't have to open anything up,to check it out,cause it's right under my key board.I just move the key board. I e-mailed you about 2 hours ago,did you get that? |

Well I was out of town all of last week and the office of my apartment complex was closed all day yesterday so I could not get down there to check to see if it was there. ASBT will check again today when he crawls out of bed. |

| Cleo | | (reply to ASexyBabe) posted 29-Aug-2001 2:59pm |
Sorry about the crude packaging material,that I had to use,but I found that,it was the only thing,it would've fit in perfectly.I tried to make the colors slightly different,hope it was alright.I only have one question on my mind...........did the packaging(styrofoam) keep the pieces intact??Not broken or damaged in anyway? |
| ASexyBabe | | (reply to Cleo) posted 29-Aug-2001 4:59pm |
The packing was great and the names turned out to be much more arty than I imagined them being they are very pretty thanks so much. |

Okay!! I was a little worried about the condition,that it would be delivered in.Great then!!! I'm happy..... I think that's the way,I'll have to send things from now on.Least I wont have to search all over house,for a box to fit them in. Yay!! Your more than welcome!! |

| SueBee | | (reply to Cleo) posted 1-Sep-2001 1:37am |
I got a lot done today. One nice thing about working overtime is that all my regular work is done, so I have extra time between customers to work on things that I normally don't get around to. That always makes me feel like I've accomplished a lot! |

i prepare it according to the directions, however, as soon as the noodles are done and i like them al dente, i drain the starchy water, rinse the noodles and add two cups of nearly boiling water and the spice packet to the noodles in a bowl. |
| nasale | | posted 18-Sep-2001 10:43pm |
I don't eat them often because the one's here aren't that great There was a different kind available before, but we can't get them any more.I can't remember the name |
