If someone could help me out and give me a rundown on how to properly cook the egg I would appreciate it. I'd like to give it a try.

You're going about it all wrong man... the noodles cook the egg!

You make the soup, then you just break the egg into the soup as soon as you turn off the heat. Remember, the broth is still boiling at this point. When you drop the egg into 212 degree broth, it cooks it right there. It's also good to stir as soon as you drop it in, or you'll just have a big chunk of egg white in the bottom... unless you like that...

similar to what you do i like doing it korean style... where you drop in the egg but purposely leave it alone. when you're done with the noodles the white will have cooked off but the yoke will still be raw (but cooked enough so its still one solid yoke).

the other way to cook egg is just dump it in while ur still cooking the noodles. stir it along with the noodles and cap it off. it comes out as bits of white fluffy stuff distributed throughout the noodles and soup.

i begin by throwing it in the garbage.

then, i call up my friend glenn and meet him up at Kyushu ramen in the valley. if we're lucky, other friends will come out too.

mmmm, ramen, im pretty hungry actually. For me, i put the noodles in unbroken, boil the m in the pot of water, then when theyre done, or sometimes before theyre done, ill put in t the seasoning. Then, and this is crucial, i put in the hottest ass hotsauce i can find. im talking the stuff made from the habaneros here. So the i let it cook a little bit more , let them soak up the spicy goodness, and then i eat it, burning the living shit out of my mouth and lips, enjoyin it the whole time. damnit i need ot eat.

I cook the noodles, place the noodles in the bowl w/ the seasoning already in then add as much (or little) water as I like

[Sanchi]

OMG!! haha u put an egg in the microwave HAHAHA!!! great stuff man!!

But dam Ramen full of goodness!! I'm surprized to hear u guys put eggs in there also!! Guess its natural, been doing that forever. Exactly the same way you do it AKADriver!!!... kinda

Boil water
drop 2 bricks in boiling water
once noodles break apart put in pounder and what ever green veggies u got and mix
then turn off fire and crack an egg on top of ramen and put a lid over pot for 1 minute
by now the white should be done and the yellow is hard enough around it not to brake
noodles are real soft and fluffy and not alot of soup left
put in bowl eat with some pickled stuff...

LOL, yup. Aside from the cleanup it was totally awesome. That shit went off like a M-80! Haha.
That would make a great practical joke...

[nlzmo400r]

i dont cook mine, that takes WAAY too much time, well that and i dont own a stove, microwave, or even a pot for that matter. I smash em up, pour on the seasoning and eat up

[Heartwork]

ahhh man, i havent ate that stuff in years...
but when i did i just:
-cook in chicken broth
-let noodles get semi-soft, but still a little hard
-add lemon and black pepper (lots of it)

but traditional Ramen houses are where its at

[HyperTek]

I cook per directions.. I dont microwave cuz that makes the noodles all soggylimp. Sucks here cuz my mom stocks up on the spicey salsa picante chile crap and chedder cheese cup noodles now..

Back at my old job, i would stock up and have alot in my desk drawer lol.

I love the ones that come in cups that you jsut add boiling water, cuz they got lil pieces of meat and vegetables.. hehe

[psidriven]

you all have to try the taiwan fried onion instant noodles. got this recipe from a viet friend.

put the noodles w/ spice and oil pack in a bowl and pour boiling water on top and cover. wait til its soft to your liking (medium for me please) and add siracha hot sauce and some fried red onions or scallions. it's the bomb, greasy and spicy.

Your turning your instant noodles into Pho! The only thing your missing is some meat, beef tripe, sriracha, and hoisin sauce.

I like all sorts of instant ramen. I like mi Mama, nong shim, kung fu, and mi goreng.

I like korean instant noodles the best because you usually get more noodles and it fills you up more.

[touge monster]

I was flying over to Thailand one summer. Stopped at Narita (NRT) (sp?)

went to the VIP lounge (frequent flyer) had the BESTTTTTTTTTT cup noodles ever.

It was made by nissin and i believe was seafood flavored. It's a white container.

Whoever can get them, I'll paypal you money.

Normally, I throw in vegetables and meat to make it more healthy.. in a way.. i guess.

[jeeper_x]

who the hell are you? lol?

[JDM_inspired]

add seasonings onto dry noodles, boil some water, cover, wait 3-4 minutes, then enjoy...

[LongGrain]

take noodles out of package
put in bowl (no crushing here)
fill bowl with warm water until noodles are floating.
microwave for 4m 30s, stop and stir half way through.
remove bowl from microwave, using your fork to hold your noodles, pour out excess water
add flavor and enjoy.

I don't like making my own Ramen because it just doesn't taste the same as Mr Ramen in Little Tokyo.

Them shits are delicious.
