Just wondering.

I know a lot of people (like my friends) who cook it in water, and then drain it and then add the seasoning to it. 0_0

IT'S REALLY SALTY THIS WAY!!

I like Cup Noodles.

And no, I don't cook them precisely the way they tell you.

I start out with very hot water, and then I heat on medium for five minutes. AL DENTE EVERY TIME!

Hold me, I'm scared.

Savannah / Emily had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
Someone else told me ramen was awful for you because it had so much sodium in it that it could kill you.

---

A lethal dose of sodium is over 3000mg/kg

2.205 pounds in a kilogram. I weigh 150lbs, which is about 69Kg

Which means it'd take 207000mg of sodium to be a fatal dose (about half a pound of pure table salt), and that's assuming worst case scenario, most people can tolerate that and more.

While at college, I heated the water, poured it into a large covered plastic cup (their annual "welcome to your dorm room" gift) with the noodles, and let sit for 5 minutes, stirring for a few seconds every minute or so. Then pour the packet in, stir, and drain.

At home, we use about half the seasoning, because my mother likes bland food.

No, the salt content of Ramen noodles won't kill you, unless you already have really high blood pressure. It is, however, somewhat lacking in nutritional value.

My father likes cup-o-noodles, but some brands are just a powdered 50/50 mix of salt and powdered imitation chicken broth, in a foam cup, with one ounce of tiny noodles and a single dehydrated carrot cube (about the size of a dried out pea). I much prefer my Ramen noodles to actually be noodles.

Go on! eat de Ramen! You can do eeeeet!

"Hey bob"
"wut"
"Here, eat this salt block, for science!"

And if you cook the ramen you put in a pot, put the seasoning in while it's boiling.

Ramany goodness!

As as side note, most raman sold in the US absolutey sucks. I've found the best varieties in Asian markets.

Packet Ramen tastes like paste.

melt some margarine or butter in the microwave (not too much)

add the seasoning packet

drain the water from the noodles

pour the butter/seasoning mixture over the noodles

enjoy.

Then, get yourself a big bowl. Add diced onions, little bits of cooked meat, and others that look like it would be tasty.

Cook, and enjoy.

for me it depends if theres a microwave available or not... if there is, I put noodles and water in a bowl and nuke it like it was a cup of ramen.

Otherwise, I put the package of noodles in a pot, cover it with water, boil, and drain most but not all of the water, and then add the seasoning.

I've found if you add the seasoning before draining - while its cooking and what not, either the taste is too bland due to too much water... and if you only but in the amount of water your supposed to so it tastes good, its a bitch to clean the pot afterwards.

Microwave... throw water, noodles, and seasoning into a bowl... cover it with a small plate or whatever... and nuke it for however long I feel like it.

Ramen noodles are probably the only thing I'm any good at making. I almost always drain it, at least somewhat.

Lyinar Ka`Bael thought about the meaning of life:
Boil water, toss in noodles, heat till they're loose, drain water, add seasoning and eat. I also like my noodles to have the flavor, not the soup around them, so I keep very little water in my ramen, just enough to keep them moist.

---

Same here. BTW what's your favorite flavor? Mine is lime shrimp.

Why?

Because it's fucking disgusting. It's like eating something I coughed up, rolled into noodles.

Crumble the noodles into a decent sized coffee mug. Sprinkle the seasoning packet over the noodles. Use the coffee maker to heat water. Pour water over noodles in mug. Wait 4 minutes. Stir and 'enjoy'.

I was never much a fan of noodles that way, but they are ediable.

Pork is my favorite.

Plop in whole noodle bar.

Wait ~ 3 minutes, possibly add meat/cheese/egg whites to the boilding water.

Drain.

Eet.

Which is why, much to my dismay, when I went to Brian's all they had was gross Cup o' noodles. Cup o' noodles are grossesesss.

Yeah. I have ~50 Chicken flavored cup noodle thingies in my room.

I'm smarter now. I think.
