Do You Eat Ramen Noodles?

I'm so lazy I sometimes EVEN buy the ones in the cup...pour the water in, instant lunch!

I love you Lynn - you're so honest - I am sure there are many folks who do the same exact thing! Thanks bunches. Salud.

I am a vegetarian, so I do not do the Ramen noodle thing, but my husband is a great fan. After a long day at work without lunch, he usually makes a bowl of noodles to hold him off until dinner time. His specialty is the beef kind and he adds loads of Jamaican hot sauce. My four-year-old son is now beginning to love the hot sauce noodles with his dad as well.

Used to take the one's in the cup to lunch when I worked at the Y. I didn't get a lunch break since I only worked 4 hours - it was quick and easy., and I could eat it while working the reception desk.

I love Ramen. I think I like original oriental ones best, and I make them with plenty of water so it's like a soup. It's really cold tonight, so a late snack of Ramen sounds good to me! Just to be evil, I will admit that I like Spam, too!!

hi j.r. thanks so much for commenting...I love to hear what other folks eat. Miz Cecile, good to see you my friend - how's your day going and what are you doing this weekend - I best catch up with you while I can? Do yall do the camping thing on your tours. Ok more later. Salud.

Toni - you're so honest - I just love you - I'm beginning to like my girlfriends here at Gather more and more. Thank yall. Salud.

I would eat it once in a while when I worked retail, especially Christmastide, but I find it waaaay too salty for my tastes.

Miz Vicky - Oh try the egg - it will cook along with the noodles! Miz Roxanne - I think they make the unsalty kind right? I eat so low on the food chain usually so this is a big treat for me! Salud.

Hi Miz Marianne - so good to always hear from you! You're always so positive - thanks for commenting - glad you like Ramen - it is comfort food for sure! Salud.

I know that breaking an egg in a hot soup is very much of an Asian thing. I don't do that, but I may put Tuna (with water only) over the top of the noodles. I especially love all the chicken and oriental flavored soups. Less the pork soups, but the beef flavored Ramen are good, too. A few years ago when the kids were fussier eaters, we made Ramen frequently.

Miz Kathryn - thanks so much for dropping by - you're always a welcome guest here. Somehow kids love Ramen - my nieces rave about how much they loved going to Maw-Maw's house because she fixed such good soup - aka ramen noodles. Appreciate your comment ! SAlud.

SO YOUR SAYIN, EGGS STILL HOT FROM MY CHICKENS BUTT, MIGHT TASTE YUMMY IN MY RAMEN SHRIMP CUP THEN... MMMMM, I'LL HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW....

Farmer Shawn - well this is a welcomed surprise - thanks so much for dropping by! Please let me know!!! Salud.

I DEFINATELY WILL......

Mariana, we're doing our Mojave Expedition 4 wd tour this weekend that you read about a couple of days ago. Be staying in Ridgecrest at the Carriage Inn. in high style. I've been washing clothes and getting household chores out of the way. Tomorrow I do my shopping & my packing. We leave bright and early Saturday morning.

We have done camping trips in the past in the Sequoia National Forest, but it's too hard to get the commercial permits we need from the forest service, so we haven't done that in three or four years. A big portion of the tours are out of the Mammoth area - so we rent a condo in Mammoth which is the same as Motel 6 costwise up there, and we can cook our own ramen noodles if we want to instead of go out to eat. Our clients have the choice to camp, condo, or motel it when we are up there. The one's out of Lone Pine we stay at the Mt. Whitney or the Best Western, and our clients can do the same or camp as they choose.

Miz Kathryn - wow - I've never heard of the Tuna over the top of noodles - I do sometimes melt cheese on top! Thanks for stopping by! Salud.

This made me smile Mariana because i grew up on the things and have them in my cupboard right now! I just never knew you could do so much with them

I usually eat them plain, but will try it with the egg. It must turn out kind of like egdrop soup. Thanks for all the ideas. Its snowing here tonight, so some green tea and raman noodles sound good!

When my mom and dad split up Ramen noodles and canned tuna were the only two foods to be found in his house!!!!!!!! Those were the days! lol

I like the Ckicken noodle in a cup with picante sauce, crumbled bet-R-cheddar crackers and the cheese that comes in a can squirted on top and then mixed in! Sounds disgusting I know! But I promise it's REALLY good!!!!

I love my Ramen noodles. Yes, this household is stocked up. Even my doggies partake in the noodle. In fact it's a hoot when I have the noodle dangling over my doggies snout as they try desperately to snatch a hold of the wet noodle. Eventually they get them. I never tried it with egg though. I'll have to give it a try. Talk to you soon!!!

I love the ones in the cup, but all the salt makes me feel awful the next day. I actually use the packaged ramen to make a great salad. You crunch up the noodles and mix them with a little butter and toast them. They go onto greens, with almonds and a great dressing. I just throw away the little chicken flavor packet.

I hadn't had Ramen Noodles in years. A couple of months ago I was at my son's watching my grandkids. With tummy grumbling I set off to the kitchen to search for something to dine on. Chicken flavored Ramen Noodles! I set a pot of water to boil on the stove, tossed in the noodles, cooked them, drained them and added part of the flavor packet (too salty to add it all). Nummy little lunch treat.

Mariana~ We usually break up about four packs at a time, put them in a pan with a little bit of water (just enough to slightly soften them), and cook them half way!!! Then we add sesame oil and snow peas...scrumptious!!!

Buenas tardes, querida Mariana;
We use Ramen noodles with shrimp as a lenten staple. I take them to work and my beloved wife will sometimes also have them for lunch. Occasionally, if we're feeling really lazy, they will become our evening meal. However, my mother-in-law usually cooks on weeknights, and so we eat well, and healthy as well.

Felicidad!

Miz Susan Marie - I"m learning quite a few things myself. We actually put seaweed in ours - and yes, the dogs like them as well...the dogs eat anything! I think if you ask a kid what their favorite food is, they'll say Ramen! I think they're great survival foods to keep on hand. Thanks for dropping by Miz Susan Marie! Salud.

Sam's sell big ole boxes of Ramen Noodles. Yum. Doesn't everyone love em? My kids just sprinkle the seasoning on the dry noodles squeeze the bag breaking the noodles up and munch on it for a snack. Bologna is good in it to.

I usually eat them plain, but will try it with the egg. It must turn out kind of like egdrop soup. Thanks for all the ideas. Its snowing here tonight, so some green tea and raman noodles sound good! Miz Tomi, how were your noodles last night? Salud.

to answer jr's comment - i am a vegetarian too and there are plenty of ramen noodles for us! i go to an asian market that has about 20 strange and wonderful varieties with no critter! (bergamot with basil is a favorite.) they are great for lunch at work.
fun article, honey, as always...

Mona, I usually eat the ones with none of that stuff as well - no salt either. However, I keep stocked up with the cheaper stuff I can buy at the regular grocery store! Thanks sister. Salud.

Do you eat Ramen Noodles?...

Do I eat Ramen Noodles? - Oh baby do I ever.
I read a few comments above and you guys are eating it all the wrong way. I have a receipt that I PATENTED (cost me $3,000) but worth every penny.

Now, you have to have an open mind when you try my receipt. Like I said, you haven't lived until you try it.

Go get yourself some Ramen Noodles (This part is not in the receipt)
Open the package and pour it into a big bowl. Look at the noodles and say to it - "You are about to experience the ultimate make-over" If you look closely the noodles will form a smile.
Next, add the following ingredients (it won't taste the same if you leave any one out)
- Get the best tasting bottled water you can find and then drink it (you'll be thirsty)
- Get yourself a new apron (might as well look the part of chef)
- Get yourself a new set of knifes (just to say you have a new set of knifes if someone asks)
- Wash your hands really good (Don't ask me why - people are always saying wash your hands when you cook)
- Turn on some music to get you in the "mood" - not that kinda of mood - what's the matter with you?
- Add some Vinegar (hey... don't bash it until you try it)
- Add some olive oil (not the virgin oil, the WHORE oil)
- Add some ketchup (to give it color)
- Add some Mustard (Ketchup always goes with Mustard)
- Add some Relish (if your gonna add Ketchup and mustard, add relish too)
- Add some Garlic (if your gonna be talking to someone you don't like that day)
- Add some Rosemary (I like the name - it sounds romantic)
- Add some Time (believe me, your gonna need a lot of time to make this)
- Add some Lemons (this gives it a little power factor)
- Add some Eggs (not just an ordinary egg - I'm talking an OSTRISH EGG)
- Add some Egg shells (gives it a little more crunch)
- Add some worms - the kind you find in your garden (you won't even taste them)
- Add some Yellow Tail Wine - one for the soup, one for you (ain't that right Salud?)
- Add some Beer (just in case you don't like wine)
- Add some Flies (your bound to find some - they go well with the worms)
- Add some (just a few drops) of Pony piss (to add flavour)

Now go back to your bowl of noodles which still should be smiling at you, pour the boiling bottle water (if you haven't drank it all)
Get all your ingredients and pour them into the bowl and stir the noodles for a few minutes until the noodles are cooked to your liking. (or is it spelt likeing?)

RING A BELL and watch the herd (family) come running. Its the best tasting Ramen Soup you'll ever have.

You all try it and let me know what you think.

keep laughing
The Funny Guy

LAUGHING MY RAMEN OR SHOULD I SAY ROAMING ARSE OFF>..for those of you who have not read The Funny Guy's works - esp the first few articles - you're in for a treat - he does spell funny though but you get the point! He is also one of the best commentors around as you can see from the above Great RECIPE...LOL...Thanks bunches Funny Guy - have you written any good stories lately???? Let me know - I miss you! Come back...what did you do with Jadan????? Sue and Kyra are fine. Salud.

we dont eat them because they are loaded with MSG and I cannot have any MSG. I am allergic to it

hi Connie - I'm sorry to hear that. Salud.

This is soo cute Mariana!!! Look how many responses you have!!! You're a gem:) You can make chopped liver sound so delightful if you wrote an article about it!!!

Miz Debbie lol - thank you sweety - I can't wait to plant my snowdrops!!! We're having boiled crabs tonight and I'll salud you with my glass of vino! What are you doing Up...did you get enough sleep??? Salud..

Ah, yes indeed we do. It is the base for all sorts of easy suppers. I usually discard the seasoning packet and cook the noodles in chicken broth, and add mushrooms, spring onions, snow peas, left over roast chicken, any kind of greens that might be in the house, or practically anything else that comes to mind. A healthy and satisfying soup that's ready in about 10 minutes.

I used to have to live off of them, therefore I rarely eat them anymore. I got sick of them. But if I do eat them I always add veggies and usually some sort of leftover meat sliced thin.

My sister and my son eat them. I don't normally eat them, but you're giving me all sorts of ideas. I never thought about fooling with them by adding other ingredients. I'll have to try some of the suggestions I've read here this morning.

Thanks for starting this thread.

Mariana!

Ramen the soup of the gods!

I like to add the egg too along with Japanese dried seaweed. It comes in sheets that you can cut up with scissors and then throw in the pot. One packgae of seaweed lasts a long time and even comes with its own moisture absorbing pack.

Broccoli is good too but I suggest steaming it alone and adding it to the Ramen just before serving to avoid a funky "green" taste and coloring.

Cheers,

Colonel Possum

I like to eat them straight from the packacge Raw like potato chips no season pack. My sister-in-law adds them raw to some type of broccoli cole slaw that she makes and it is delicious.

This sounds like a good recipe Miz Laurun - never heard of adding it to broccoli cole slaw...Thanks ! Salud.

This is funny. My daughter and I just shared a bowl. Yes, around here we consider it a staple of our pantry.

I don't know how to stop the habit.
You know what's really funny, i found this article or passage by EATING ramen noodles.
Guess what I am doing right at this moment, EATING NOOOODLES.
Oh and hi by the way. :)

girl, go look at my latest video and dance with your little cajun man. SAlud
