Try the nearest asian import store... you know those small boutiques which smells funny and some short chinese old man stands selling chinese, tai, vietnamese and japanese weird stuff
tongue.gif

best way to find it here at least

(Or the super market... but it's more expensive for swedish produced nissin ramen, than japanese produced imported nissin ramen....?)

Well, we have dozens of chinese stores per street, but I never noticed if they have food products.
Thanks, I'll check it next time!

well.. look for the ones looking somewhat like these:
trs_001_nissin_demae_ramen_prawn.jpg

At least find the brand "nissin"... well, that's MY OWN favorite, and I think others have weird tastes after a while.. :S some taste metallic and so... so these are my no. 1!

also, my pro-tip in cooking these:
4 dl water!! not 5 as they say in the instructions...
add the spices and optional seasoning oil DIRECTLY into the water, and THEN let it all start to boil.
lay down the noodles.
let it boil for 2:25 instead of 3:00 !!!! (they get all mushy with 3 minutes IMO).
serve it without removing any water, if you have a bowl large enough to hold the water,... else you can remove a little ... but it's a really tasty soup!
EAT IT!

Whoever made those cup of ramen soups where you just need to add water and basicly have an instant cup of soup should be worshiped. I could eat ramen all the time no matter what form its in. Ramen is just so god damn addicting. Once you have a bite, your hooked on it and need more.

Oh man ramen is delicious. I've only eaten the instant kind, I've never been to a place that served ramen...

This is my favorite, it's spicy as hell but delicious

P.S. Fun fact for you guys, although ramen is very popular in Japan, it actually comes from China. Sorry, wapanese...

I eat instant bricks of ramen. Nuke in the microwave for 5 mins (with water), drain half of water, stir in seasoning, drain remaining water, eat like spaghetti.

Oh and Hell Ramen.

I do so miss KoL.

Anyways, define ramen. Is it any different from your normal average instant noodles?

They're DAMN cheap and fill ya up. Aren't bad straight in brick form either. The frugality is what attracts me but I'm not a frequent eater as I usually keep a healthy diet. On the occasions I buy it's off-brands at Chinese supermarkets. Got to love the college life.


That said, you guys are probably just white guys eating em out of obsession for Japanese culture. Ramen noodles aren't even originally from Japan...
Got to love them sweeping generalizations.

Actually I was eating them before I knew anything about them. I just liked how they tasted and how easy they are to cook. Though you know whats also good? A raw block of ramen with the packet of seasoning. Just take the block, add a little seasoning and take a tasty, crispy bite of ramen.

i grew up on that stuff. its no longer spicy for me >_>. or maybe its my korean racial bonus that makes me more tolerant to spicy foods.
i like chicken flavor with an egg + lots and lots of tabasco sauce better.

the noodles are ok un-cooked, but this sounds a little strange

I boil the brick with the "flavor" packet mixed in, drain it, and add my secret ingredient:

PEANUT SAUCE!!!

...and yeah, that's a bowl of ramen to the left.

Weeaboos go crazy for the stuff. I guess they think eating it makes them look Japanese.
No. I'll eat it because it's tasty....

Hmmm... Ramen. Really, I can't get enough of that stuff. It's like god's gift to mankind xD

I do prefer Chicken and Miso flavoured Ramen. But also those hot & spicy ramen, but since the nissin ones taste like shit i have to tell a korean friend of mine to bring some good nong shim ramen, when he's next time in south korea. :q

I'll usually eat the instant-ahit. Not as tasty as the real deal, but... yes. Yummy :q

Mmmm... ramen... depends which type. I personally prefer the original Chinese "ramen" (actually called laa mian) over the Jap ramen (taken from the Shanghainese people). Although a good instant ramen's always good on the go...
