    I must say I'm biased - the ramen I grew up on in Indonesia is my favorite, both Supermie (which my american friends think is hilarious) and Indofood.

    Snack at elementary school often consisted of a bag of ramen that we would squish to break apart the noodles, and then open up and add the spices. I still think it's good and I can't believe American kids haven't discovered it yet. Can't be any worse then our overly seasoned potato chips.

    Cool video, Cathy2. Thanks.

    I've seen videos of guys making the hand-made noodles. It would be interesting to taste them side by side, to find out what the difference is.

    Picking up various Hmart items and could not resist Samyang Spicy Chicken Ramen w/cheese. Astoundingly, it was tasty, though I'm good on sodium until mid November.

    My current favorite packaged ramen is Shin Ramyun Black, typically spicy. A little more balance, though only in comparison to other Asian instant noodles. There is an astounding variety, H Mart Niles shows 140 options on their web site alone. Next I want to dip my toe in the Malaysian instant noodle game. :)

    Busy and on a budget? 12 of the best and worst instant noodles
    Dominic Armato, Arizona Republic newspaper and once a regular poster/moderator on LTHforum did this piece in August. He tried 40 ramen noodles, then offered the top and bottom 12. Since he has sensibilities we can relate to, his list is more meaningful than most.

    My family, kids especially, love Neoguri. One of the things we had to bring whenever visiting them at college was a case of Neoguri.

    Thanks for posting this, Cathy. I've always enjoyed Dom's writing and there were a few that made me laugh out loud.

    Within this yellow pouch, biangbiangmian — the culinary pride of Shaanxi — is reduced to a pile of sticky, gelatinous noodles with the flavor of a petroleum product and the consistency of toad snot.

    I just saw this on another thread, which can be useful here, too:
    Subject: Can Naf Naf's success be repeated?

    :(

    I just wandered through a discussion on the New York Times food page regarding an instant ramen recipe that used butter and slices of American cheese. Many people were horrified and refused to even consider making it because it so violated their ramen principles. Then it turned out that Southern California Korean-Americans have long ago instituted precisely this recipe as one of their stalwarts for feeding the kids after school. It's their "peanut butter and jelly sandwich." Can't get more authentic than that. Then, it turns out that the folks who tried the recipe said it tasted pretty damn good.

    Authentic, schmauthentic. If it tastes good and/or meets your functional needs, eat it!

    My favorite ramen noodle is the Lucky Me! Instant Pancit Canton that is found at many Asian and all Filipino markets. It is produced in the Philippines and includes noodles, a seasoning package, and a package of soy sauce and calamansi juice.

    It is generally the ONLY ramen noodle package that I use as there is only 230 mg of sodium per serving. I like to thrown in some shrimp and some of my home grown scallions.

    Boated up a pack of Shin Ramyun spicy, not black, today for lunch. Spice packs, noodles, HMart dumplings, leftover corn, couple of eggs, crushed red peppers and sesame seeds.

    The Bride was not enamored, she had toasted rye and two over easy, I enjoyed solo. Thought about adding cheese and leftover bacon but figured lunch was boogied up enough as is. Good on salt for a week.

    "They are a portable, resilient and long-lasting store of nourishment in times of need — from dire to impulsive and all points between. There is a reason that instant noodles have replaced cigarettes as the primary currency of the informal economy in dismally catered US prisons."

    As someone who worked in county jails, state prisons, and federal prisons for 30 years, this quote is BS. Noodles did not replace cigarettes as prison currency because of they are cheap, easy to store, and have a 1/2 life of 200 years. Cigarettes are no longer currency in lock ups around this country because smoking is banned and the commissary's no longer sell smokes.

    And I thought it was pouches of tuna and salmon - prison food is notoriously short on protein.

    I've spent some time in prison (on the less confining side of the bars). The protein of choice (as in "choose whatever you like as long as it's xxx") is bologna.
