ahh.. Upon close inspection, I can see the noodles are very flat as you said. Wonder how they taste...

Looks like a beef based soup with flat egg noodles...

Shin ramyun with egg = very good

Pad kee mao from mama = not good

... Anyone wants to trade for my 27 packages of pad kee mao?

I hate this thread because every time I look at it my blood pressure and cholesterol shoot up from all the sodium.

Love Chinese flat egg noodles (dan mien), especially when it's fresh made. The dried version flavored with shrimp isn't half bad too.

Anyone has a good recipe for homemade udon or some kind of noodle based soup?

 

[ueyteuor]

the best possible ramen you can get is by doing the following:

chicken flavored ramen

pop an egg in it while soup is boiling

dump tomato sauce can into soup

thats the best you can get

I like my pork ramen straight up with lots of soy sauce and green onion.

 

[flamerz]

Ueyteuor, that reminds me of tomato flavored ramen. That was always my favorite flavor, but I can never find it now days.

 

[Akathisia]

I will have to try the tomato sauce thing. What a wild idea!

It's really not hard, at all, for a quick stock. Get some beef-flavored soup base and pour it into a pot with some water and vegetables of your choosing and let simmer. Add some soy sauce and a little chopped scallion. That's it. Add your noodles and sprinkle a little "Shichimi Togarashi" on and you're good to go with a cheap and dirty meal.

Tomato ramen?!?! - I don't know but that just seems wrong (for my Asian sensibilities)

Instead of a beef soup base, you could also try using Japanese Dashi instant fish soup base, which is often used for noodle soups.

Thanks... I'll have to score some dashi and give it a try.

 

[Chickenman]

Tomato?? Seems bizarre to me. Has anybody else tried the curry ramen? i thought it was decent. Its from a korean brand called ottogi.

 

[Phraxos]

I basically subsisted on ramen all throughout my high school years and I've tried pretty much every brand there is available in Japan and the States. My personal favorites are all Japanese brands that you probably won't find here, that don't use freeze-dried noodles. Here are some you might find that I recommend:

• Mi Goreng and MAMA Tom Yum Koong are tasty brands if you like that Thai/Southeast Asian taste.

• Nissin and Sapporo Ichiban are delicious with an egg and iceberg lettuce.

• If you want to try soba or udon noodles, Donbei is good, especially the tempura or kaki-age ones.
