Momofuku to you too buddy !
RIP
Ramen rocks.
In "the old days" many Field Exercises in the army involved heating this stuff up in a canteen cup (with lots of Tabasco). Nice way to warm up!
Regards,
Used to LOVE this stuff when I was a young lass myself, but sadly, the high sodium, high fat food groups no longer work for me. Back when I had the metabolism for them, I used to LOVE throwing a slab of velveeta in the noodle, hot water mix as it was "cooking". By the time the soup was suitably softened, the cheese had added another layer of sodium and goo. OH MAN! Couple that with a Cherry Coke, and them's good eating!
I send ramen to my son in Iraq by the case...lol
Noooooooooooo!
This guy deserves a funeral on the level of Royals!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was an undergraduate the local grocery had Top Ramen at ten packages for a dollar. I was so broke I asked the guy what he was charging for Medium Ramen.
The noodles can sustain life if the flavor packet is discarded unopened.
My grad-school food groups consisted of beer, Ramen noodles, Pop-Tarts, and Funyuns. In that order.
I've always wondered why the Vatican hasn't capitalized on the idea and freeze-dries the Communion pack.
Ramen Coleslaw
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 (3 ounce) package chicken flavored ramen noodles, crushed, seasoning packet reserved
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 medium head cabbage, shredded
3 green onions, chopped
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, ramen noodle spice mix, salt and pepper to create a dressing.
Place sesame seeds and almonds in a single layer on a medium baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes, or until lightly brown.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cabbage, green onions and crushed ramen noodles. Pour dressing over the cabbage, and toss to coat evenly. Top with toasted sesame seeds and almonds.
When we started running out, we searched all over Houston -- and finally found them at Pier One Imports. It was several years before the items began showing up in grocery stores -- and the Kikkoman was watered-down... (And Pier One was into selling junky furniture and "dust-collectors"...)
Every time I cook up a batch of "China-soba", (aka "Ramen") my granddaughters are lined up -- waiting for their share.

Times Square Bump!
Loved the product. Rest in peace.
Ando-san provided quite a service to humanity, I'd say.
My cupboard's always well-stocked with several varieties of Top Ramen. In summertime, I might eat the cooked noodles cold or add them to salad.
Can't beat the broth on a cold day, especially if you have a cold or touch of flu. Top Ramen makes a great breakfast too.
I have sent hundreds of packages of ramen and Cup Noodles to our troops deployed in OIF and OEF, as one of the top requested items.
Imagine my surprise to find the guys were crunching on these raw when they went far forward on missions.
Rucksack Meal in a Cup BUMP!
A case of the stuff should be in every house's emergency supplies.
This stuff is out and out junk. White flour with plenty of MSG and preservatives and polysyllabic additives. Enjoy!
