What's the best instant ramen?

Samyang, just the right amount of spicy, not as spicy as Buldak, which is so spicy that it attacked my bronchitis. Very mild and tasty

>>306878Buldak kimchi flavor, though
>>306880 is right, it is like eating delicious fire.
Indomie is good. Sapporo ichiban is the best boring basic ramen brick.

>>306884I have a trauma with buldaks, I've already tried the carbonara flavor, and my God, my nose even started running because of how strong it was, I had to drink a glass of pure milk afterwards, but I'm still interested in trying more flavors because of the cute packaging kek

I tend to pick by the country of the brand. I just think that Japanese are more health conscious and have better quality control. The Korean stuff can be way too spicy, even if they it’s just spicy and not 2x spicy. Fuck ‘em.

I eat way too much instant ramen, I think the best kind I've ever had was the dandan noodles from this Taiwanese brand called Mom's Dry Noodles but they were pretty expensive and I could only find them at the 99 Ranch Market. I also love Indomie because they're really good for the price, but the only problem is that they're small so I usually end up making 2 packs.
>>306884>>306895I actually had some carbonara buldak for breakfast! The yakisoba & tomato pasta ones are my favorites.
>>306906I used to love eating shin ramyun but my spice tolerance is so high that they don't really taste that interesting to me anymore. They have a version called fiery spicy beef that's like 2x as spicy and I like eating that one though.

I like mixing Chapaghetti and Shin Raymun and dropping a fried egg in that motherfucker. I wish meat would be cheap enough, but eggs are already difficult already.

I like Nongshim non-spicy instant ramen the most: just the right amount of spicy and great texture
Buldak is death, it's so spicy there's literally no difference between whatever types there are

>>307347I find Black Buldak deliciously spicy. The ones with numbers are all heat and no flavor. I just wish that stuff wouldn't stain everything it touches like crazy.

nissin firewok's spicy pork is the best if you want a flavorful tonkotsu broth for cheap. tastes just like actual tonkotsu ramen with spice and they changed the instant noodles a bit to resemble chuka noodles. indomie is great if you want non-soup noodles that are reminiscent of stir fried noodles. for korean noodles flavor-wise, i'm torn between chapghetti, nongshim k-army stew, and shin ramyun gold chicken noodles.

Hot, spicy, chewy. My staple for cooking ramen for dinner; I do half a pack of the noodles, boil them for a bit to make them more sproingy, and add some meat and scallions. But it's great eaten as-is (just soaked in hot water, no toppings). Just always add toasted sesame oil. Always.

>>307583Mama brand tom yum glass noodles. Not to be confused with the rice noodles or wheat noodle variations. Hot and a bit sour. I add boiled egg white, and again, sesame oil is a must. Very small portion so without any additions it's perfect for a snack. The vegan version (green package) is good too, tastes mushroomy and garlicky.

>>307565I learned that you're not supposed to add the full spice package. It's up to personal taste. Half is probably fine.

>>307585Good to know, I'm a slow "westerner" and I didn't know that, I would suffer when I tried a new ramen, to the point of feeling sick and having shortness of breath. But what I really wanted was to buy one of these packaged ramen and make it similar to the ones sold in traditional Japanese restaurants (I know it won't be, but I want to try to make it similar).

>>309059because when you choose the instant ramen, you choose the worst possible ramen in any way except for convenience.
the ramen factory does not love you, the ramen factory loves money and they get it from you by selling you shit ingredients in a pretty looking package. if they had the choice between the healthy fat for 1 cent per package and the unhealthy fat for 0,9cent per package, they'd choose the unhealthy fat every time because that's be slightly more money for them. they don't care about you you idiot, they just want your money.
when you make your own:
+cheaper
+healthier and tastier ingredients
+a portion that you can tailor to how much hunger you have
+spices you like
+you get better at it quickly. doing it a few days and you are already better then the instant.
+don't feel like a passive braindead consumer npc, you feel like a skilled person applying their massive skills for the benefit of your life

>>309498>thank you you are so cleverok, whatever consumer, i mean thank you i guess for taking time out of your busy day that you would have preferred to watch advertisement then communicating with me.
here is how i do it. it is not a snack for me, i eat few large meals in a day to give myself time to digest. i like that better then snacking throughout the day.
>i take a big bowl and i know much to fill it so my portion matches my hunger>dry ingredients first>1 disk of the dried noodles>dried rosemary>curry powder>curcumin powder>paprika powder>tandoori mix powder>oregano flakes>miso paste>big spoon full of peanut butter>dried seaweed (either 'wakame' or these big korean dried cakes i dunno the name of)>now i add the water and stir>hand full of raw cashews>hand full of raisins>real fresh garlic>real fresh onion or spring onion>real fresh ginger>real fresh bell pepper>real fresh cherry tomatoes>real fresh chilli finely chopped >lots of real fresh cilantro>a few drops of roasted sesame oil>a few drops of roasted peanut oil>a few drops of vegan (mushroom based) fish sauce>a few drops of dark soy sauce>a few drops of maple syrup>an entire real fresh lime cut in half and squeezed into it.because i have done it so many times i can do it almost as fast as my water begins to boil, so it is not slower then the convenient industrial crap for me.
pro tip: usually when i make a noodle soup like that, i do a few portions at once. i just put out 6 or 7 big glasses (called 'weck', search for them, they are amazing!) next to the big bowl i am filling and i just put everything in the glasses that i put in the bowl except for the noodles. and then i freeze the glasses. so the next time i don't have to cook it like that, i just take a glass out of the freezer and put it next to the fan so that it thaws quickly. fan-thawing will get your glass ready in 10-15 minutes and it is filled with fresh ingredients.

>>309552>Why aren't you making the noodles yourself.i don't think if you normie are ready to hear this… noodles to me are the least important part. they are unhealthy human food pellets. i often leave them out. i do have a hand-cranked noodle machine that i could use to make my own but i don't really appreciate the difference between handmade noodles and industrial noodles. the noodles are dead anyways. they are made from dry flour. i'd rather spiralize some raw sweet potato and add it instead because unlike the wheat- or riceflour-noodles the sweet potato is still alive. literally. you can suspend a piece of sweet potato over water and it will grow roots downward, grow leaves upwards and turn into a plant you can put into the ground after a few days or weeks and make more sweet potato from it.
you can't do that with "noodle" because "noodle" is dead. but you don't care about it with your mouth all hot and bothered from the artificial flavors.

>>309678just add a bit of real fresh chilli pepper instead of whatever they put in the included "flavor pouch". they sell packages of tiny real chillis in asian grocery stores. they store for long in the fridge and if you have too many, put half in the freezer.
the real plant inferno at least has some benefits to digestion. your instant packages aren't all that good for digestion.
i worry you just eat the instant ramen without drowning the ramen in fresh vegetables.

>>309683>THEN WHY ARE YOU IN THE RAMEN THREADramen is the soup for the unfortunates. for those who have kind of given up on themselves. for those who don't know what's good and those who don't bother with caring for themselves. ramen is almost a form of selfharm.
after a certain age and once you understand it's many advantages (when it comes to keeping the body all nice and moist so that you can feel the moisture all the way to the tips of your fingers) SOUP becomes very exciting and you wonder how you did not discover how awesome soup is. people who eat ramen are almost there. they are so close to the good life but by this mysterious cattle consumer curse they are suffering from, they just can not reach it. a better life is so close to them but for some reason they can't see it.
