This bowl was very good. Seafood taste. Comes with some sort of fish cake.

Since nobody else has posted it yet somehow:


To answer the question, I like to put dried vegetable soup mix in the water before adding the noodles and letting that boil for a while. These mixes just have dehydrated finely-chopped veggies with no flavorings, so it doesn't add any more sodium or anything, and they're pretty cheap. I also like to add more noodles, usually from a box of Asian noodles. These take longer to cook than the instant ramen noodles and the instructions tell you to drain them, so usually I'll cook them first and set them aside, then add them to my big soup bowl before pouring in the cooked ramen. If I don't have a separate box of noodles, I'll just add another packet of ramen, minus the seasoning packets. Otherwise, I'll add meat, egg, frozen or fresh veggies, basically just whatever I have lying around, then finish with a dab of chili oil before eating if I'm up for it (be careful not to go overboard with that stuff - not because it will be too spicy but because it will be too oily).

I stick to the cheap brands. Shin Ramyun is good but if you're going to eat garbage you might as well eat cheap garbage.

Speaking of Korean ramen I see a lot of koreans putting a slice of processed cheese into their ramen and mixing it in. I'm both horrified and intrigued. Has anyone ever tried this?
My wife, who's from Korea, does this. I never seen anyone in Korea do this, so i think it's because Americans put cheese on everything. I've always put some grated parmesan on my ramen, but never a slice of American cheese.

A lot of kimbap or 'rest stop' type restaurants offer an optional vaguely orange cheese slice for your ramen order. It's not bad although pretty much overpowered by the broth. For some it supposedly makes the ramen less spicy and the broth creamier.

Bought some of these. Not terrible. Just tastes like mediocre chinese takeout. At almost $2.50 per noodle block, I would expect something a lot better from a noodle billed as premium.

I got this at a QuickTrip a few days back because I thought it was the silliest thing.

They were bland. Noodles were shitty. Hardly any vegetables throughout. Broth was alright, but there was a shitton of pepper on the bottom. Pretty much what you would expect 80 cent instant ramen to be like.

Edit: lol

Shin Ramyun is great but expensive as fuck here because ramen isn't that popular and there's not a lot of demand so they only import a little as a novelty

That and our currency is near worthless now
When I was over there in the states the Shin Ramyun was like $3 or $4 at walmart because "premium ramen" or some shit, its $1 now?

I am fairly new to ramen, like I only tried it for the first time 6 months ago. One thing that I do suggest to pick up the taste is to add some Montreal chicken seasoning to it. I was thinking of trying some hot sauce as well. Below is what I usually use. Very good on just plain chicken breast, too.

I add MSG and nutritional yeast to mine. Can't eat dairy so the yeast adds a cheesy flavor. Add vegetables and stuff like that a lot too.

I like to use ramen noodles as a base for soups or cheap pastas because usually have oil baked into the noodles. What I sometimes do is boil the noodles, then fry them in rendered sausage or burger fats with chili powder, mustard powder, and garlic. Then boil them again in a soup with chopped up zukinni, beans, rice, and meat.

Its a process, but its almost like being in a chemistry lab.
