What are your Ramen noodle recipes?

Tonight, I finally did it. Years of college life have led to this exact moment in time, when I would create my Magnum Noodlus. The recipe is below:

Code:
2 Cups Water
1 Piece of Bacon
1/4 cup of fresh spinach
2 green onions, cut into segments
1/4 sheet of roasted seaweed
1 tsp of Curry Powder
1 tsp Basil 
Corn added until deemed acceptable by my inner spirit

1 Maruchan Ramen Package

Boil everything besides noodles and bacon for 5 minutes. Then cover and set on low. Fry up bacon until just barely cooked, throw in with everything else. 
Simmer for 10 minutes or so. Add noodles. You know the rest.

Does anyone else have a Ramen noodle recipe? Ridiculous or simple, anything goes.

Buy high quality instant noodle pack (see this thread)

Follow directions but add green onion and tripe or tendon to the water.

When done, add fresh bean sprouts.

Can't be beat.

First off, throw away the seasoning packet.

Secondly, boil the ramen noodles until you get the required consistency. Oil a wok or pan and start frying them. Add whichever vegetables you want, nuts (like peanuts or cashews) peanut butter, and sriracha.

It's the poor man's pad thai, but it's delicious.
 
I throw in some chopped up Peppadew roquito peppers. Mmm mmm.

Little over two cups water. Throw in some frozen chopped kale and some frozen peas. Diced onion or green onion. Bring to boil. Put that ramen brick in, cook two minutes. Crack an egg on there, cook another minute. Mix in that seasoning. Put some hot sauce in if you're in the mood, otherwise eat it.

i usually drain the ramen of all water, pour the seasoning packets over it, stir, then add some sweet chili sauce (frank's brand) and eat that. ... The sodium is gonna kill me
 
Open package, cook the noodles. Open window and throw the whole thing out into the street. Close the window quick or someone might figure out it was you. Grab car keys, drive to burger king. Lie down for thirty minutes while self loathing builds.

I've been playing around with a recipe I found a while back in the NYT Cooking section (recipe here) and I think I've perfected my own modifications to it.


  • Set out a bowl that you're going to use for eating your ramen. Add about 2 teaspoons of sriracha or (ideally) the chili garlic mix that Huy Fong makes. Add about the same amount of soy sauce and mix them together. Set out a slice of American cheese.
  • Boil your water and add the noodles. When they've got 30-60 seconds left, add the seasoning packet and mix.
  • When the noodles are ready, pour a little of the broth into the bowl and mix everything up. Use a fork to pull the noodles from the pot to the bowl and mix enough to cover the noodles in the spicy sauce. Put the American cheese on top of the noodles and cover the bowl (I use the pot lid over the bowl).
  • Put the pot of broth back on the stove and crack an egg into it. Using your fork, immediately start trying to pull all of the white away from the yolk. There's a bit of a sac around the yolk, so I have found that constantly stabbing immediately around the yolk and working the fork outward rapidly in a motion that sort of orbits the yolk works best. This should only take about ten seconds.
  • Let the egg cook for about a minute. It should look a lot like egg drop soup with bits of cooked egg white in the broth, and a yolk that's warm all the way through, but only stiffened on the outside. Pour a little of the broth and as much of the egg white as you can get into the bowl and mix everything up. Plop the yolk on top and break it to let the yolk run out onto the noodles.
  • Enjoy!
 
-Buy 21 cent bag of Ramen
-Spend $10 on the rest of the ingredients.
-Cook the rest of the ingredients and eat them
-Eat the Ramen when I'm out of food in my house and lonely.

I used one of those thin little aluminum pots.

I dry, pan sear, then cube some thick tofu, set aside. Do the same for a boiled egg (not sear, just prepare).

I quick fry some diced garlic, white onions, green onions, and ginger in oil that's not olive oil - whatever I have on hand - because olive oil has a low burn point. Like sesame if I want that flavor. Grapeseed, I think it is (it's a Japanese label) if I want neutral. Etc.

Place some water in the pot, a dash of cooking wine, and some broth - again depending on the flavor I am in the mood for. Usually vegetable, but also it could be chicken or (rarely) beef. Get it all to a boil then add noodles. Reduce it to a simmer and leave it for about five or six minutes. I then take it off heat and throw in the seasoning, but never the entire pack. Usually about half. I don't want it to overpower the flavors that are already in there.

That's it I guess.

Wedges/slices of daikon
Leafy greens
Precooked fried fish balls
Crack in an egg before removing pot from stove

Or simply a few pickled chinese mustard green or daikon if I want something fast

I just remembered, there is a great episode of Good Eats that covers mixing and matching flavors for ramen made in pouches and baked in the oven. I recommend it.

Take pork bones and chicken carcasses, chop them up and clean them.

Grab at least 10 garlic bulbs.

Boil them all together with other aromatics for at least 5 hours or until the broth turns white.

Grab flour, wheat gluten, warm water and alkaline water to turn into your noodle dough mix. Pull them until you get your desired thinness. Boil them.

Boil eggs for around 5 mins, then soak them in a bath of mirin, soy sauce and sake and leave it for at least 8 hours.

Roll your belly pork into a roll, marinate in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sake and molasses for 2 hours, then roast it while basting it.

Put them all together with spring onion and bok choi garnishes.

Done.

I take my noodles, add the seasoning and then chilli flakes and sichuan seasoning and bam bob's my uncle.
 
My favorite brand is Asian Taste. This in pack of plain noodles in particular. They have the best texture and consistency I have had.

Best to stir fry with soy sauce, not great with soup though, kinda heavy.
