A Classic : Instant Ramen

[2Wheels4Ever]

My favorite instant noodle is Neoguri. The noodles in this are much better than most other instant ramen type soups. I add in some frozen raw shrimp, green onion and an egg. Almost tastes like jjamppong.

No... just... no.

How is this even possible... the noodles have like virtually no nutritional value and dried up. Whats there to spoil?

Probably varies by the particular variety, but they contain egg plus chicken, shrimp or beaver meat.

The main reason they go rancid is simply because the cheap plastic packaging itself is still permeable to a degree.

Actually, ramen is fairly high in fat. Each package contains 14g of total fat and 7g of saturated fat, mostly in the form of palm oil. It is probably the fats and oils that go rancid after long term storage.

Reading labels is fun, guys.

I had company from Japan stay for a bit and she brought spicy tonkotsu ramen from the Kyushu region of Japan. Vegetables here aren't authentic and just leftovers I had in the fridge.

Yes, meats contain fats. Shocking revelation!

I buy a couple of cases of Nissin Ramen. It comes in handy when the power goes out in the fall and wintertime. My wife starts with the basic ramen then adds either chicken or vegitable broth in. Then she adds fish balls, potstickers or cuts up some chicken breasts. She then adds vegitables and mushrooms. We eat that either for lunch or dinner.

Yer welcome!

Kyushu is my "home". Spicy tonkatsu egg ramen is a specialty dish in the Oita and Miyazaki prefectures. Very rural Eastern Kyushu coast region and considered "down home comfort food".

Ripping tasty stuff!

Then she adds fish balls

I'm not really a fisherman, but, never woulda thought.

RE : The salt and flavor packet.

Ever tried the Korean Brand? Like.....
View attachment 1493475
I've seen it available at Wally World, Freddy's and BiMart. And/Or, the Korean store (Boo Han) on 82nd Ave. and of course in a variety of Asian markets.

Warning : Spicy means SPICY. I normally only use half of the flavor packet. And, I'll add my own Kim Chee.

This brand, has that foil type of packaging. Unlike Top Ramen and some of the other Japanese brands.

Aloha, Mark

PS.........save the other half of the flavor packet. I've used it to spice up my Japanese brands of ramen.

Add a whipped egg and some protein steak chicken whatever your poison thin slice some carrot and zecchini and it is a game changer from average to wham !

You mean kamaboko? "Asian hot dog"?



Much like the US hot dog... I don't know many who don't love it. It comes in all shapes, colors and sizes, but it's all just "hot dogs!"

I once had a ladyfriend tell me she really liked tung a som gui - but I could never find a recipe for it....

Palm oil comes from meat? I had no idea!

Must be a lot of work, cutting off all those fish balls. Any particular kind preferred?

No we buy from the Uwajimaya asian market. We buy Dodo brand fish balls which is some fish an other ingredigients. Really good on cold fall or winter days.

 

[DunRanull]

I just micro'ed a bowl of ramen... I like it with soy sauce or miso instead of the packet flavors.. nice warm up on a chilly morning!

It comes from Palmeranians.

Damn thread resurrections!...any way...

I've caught and cleaned a lot of fish in my time. And frequently sorted through the innards to see what they were eating. But I NEVER saw any balls. Unless we're talking "Milt Sacs" that is?
