Drain them 3 times, why 3, I don't know. My dad (He is Cantonese) always tells me to rinse rice 3 time before cooking it, and same for noodles & veggies. It must be a lucky number I guess.

Actually ramen is the Japanese version of the noodles made fresh by hand. The word later got adapted to descibing the instant versions of it.

What is ramen ?

edit: nvm, read some of the posts above. I call it Mi-Goreng... well that's the instant noodles I eat.

I cook it pretty much the way the package says but cutting back a bit on the seasoning. I like to add a little pork, bamboo shoot, and an egg.

However, I like mine the authentic way.. in a Japanese ramen store :

I wish I could have some of that now

Speaking of cooking per the directions; the kids are getting old enough to cook their own now and one of them actually READ the directions and prepared them that way. He liked it just as the directions instructed. He even convinced a brother and sister that they are good that way and now they do too!

Boil water with seasoning packet
Add ramen
Cook 2-3 minutes
Optional - add egg
Optional - add hot sauce

Done.

 

[ShinyFalcon]

- Boil water in kettle
- Dump dry ramen in bowl, along with seasoning
- Pour boiling water into bowl
- An occasional egg (cooked seperately)

I haven't tried an authentic Japanese ramen yet, and I really want to. I don't see any restaurants near me though =(.

when i reach for the ramen im usually in too much of a hurry to put anything else in so i just follow the directions on the bag

First time I've heard such a question. lol I don't eat Ramen anymore but suspect it would be good with actual food in it. lol

In my young years, I would cook it aldente, drain most the water, add the seasoning (not all of it) and add soy sauce in it.

Once in a blue moon, I snack on a cup-o-noodles and like putting tobasco (with garlic) sauce in it.

I fear that any time we stray beyond just adding water and heat, we are deviating from the original concept of Ramen and Mac & cheese as the traditional "finance charges" toward our new cans.

ramen is simply a type of noodles, like spaghetti or any of those other ones.

I put the noodles in the water then heat it up, it's always worked well for me that way.

So many posts about inferior noodles! If you like noodles, try Soba:

"Well, there's lots of things to eat here in Japan,
and I've tried every noodle that I can.
But for good old-fashioned eating,
there's no dish you can be beating
when it comes from a kitchen
where there is a Soba man.
When it's Soba-schlepping time in Japosjne,
and those hungry truckin' drivers hit the town
Oh, those truckers will be brakin',
'cause their stomachs are a achin'
just to get some of that good old Soba down."

That's the text of a song by the 3 Mustaphas 3, titled "Soba, King of the Noodles". The name of the town is probably an approximation.
