    Well, whether anyone believes or not that the packaged Ramen are complete JUNK, I DO, and I prefer the rice noodles made in a real broth with added veggies and meat ANY day to this load of garbage! I actually used to LOVE that load of garbage until I tasted what REAL Ramen should be!

    I grew up with "real" ramen and the packaged stuff. I like both. I'll even eat packaged ramen dry - just broken up and shaken with the seasoning.

    I couldn't get my calories to add up. My recipe put it more like closer to 600 calories. I must be doing something wrong. But does sound great.

    You should go have some real ramen instead of the instant crap. Then you won't have to ask this question anymore.

    For a healthier choice and cheaper too just buy Chinese noodles and beef, chicken or vegetable stock to cook them in ( I use sodium reduced).
    I buy rice papers and make Japanese spring rolls with the noodles and finely slice vegetables and a shredded meat of choice. Serve with a dipping sauce. They also reheat well in the microwave.

    I use the block of noodles and cook those. Then, I add in browned hamburger (with the drippings), sliced carrots, and water chestnuts with the noodles and stir fry those together. I also may use some of the seasoning packet, but only a really small amount of it to add a little extra flavor. It's a really easy dish to make.

    Peanut butter and sriracha sauce with a slice of cheese was the best combination I've ever put in cup noodles.

    If you don't want your seasoning packets, I'll take them. Says the chick currently drinking chicken broth made from bouillon.

    @cindytw that's what i'm sayin. it's like fake food or salty candy or something. REAL RAMEN!!

    Real Ramen? I've only seen the stuff I've been asking about (a six-pack for about a dollar). I've never seen "real ramen". Would like to try the other kinds of Asian noodles, though.

    A lot of big cities have authentic ramen shops.
    There's one in the outskirts of Boston that I've been wanting to try, but the lines are usually long, they have wonky hours, and you pretty much have to eat and get out of there; they don't let you talk because the shop is so tiny, and they need to rotate people out. They also only have around three choices.

    I still wanna go.

    And yes, I am aware this is a necro'd thread. But ramen is involved.

    This. There is NOTHING redeeming about top ramen or anything like that. if you're gonna eat ramen, at least find a good ramen bar and get some food!
