you posted it. I like the chicken and onion flavour tho

>>16997913
Those are my favorite. They're great and only like $0.49/pack

Mi goreng is a classic but nongshim shin ramyun black is the best by a mile imo. Creamy beef broth, good amount of garlic and onion flavour, chunks of mushroom. Not super spicy, so I usually add chili oil.

>>16998067

regular is better

>>16998067
Problem is you can only cook it with beef.
>>16998296
Kinda agree, as much as I like beef in ramen the ability to use the regular for chicken, pork, steak is pretty nice. It's not too hard to get beef broth flavoring in ramen anyways.

>>16998067
Expensive.
There is a ramen tier list with which ingredients go best somewhere. That shin ramyun black is listed as God tier

How's the bbq chicken Indomie?

>>16998389
basically, the consensus with Indomie's instant ramen is the cheaper & nastier they are, the better they are.
The further they try to stray from the original Mi Goreng and into the realm of soups and gourmet ramens, the worst they taste.
source: some cunts on youtube that taste tasted all 30 varieties of it.

For me it's Jin Ramen. Egg is mandatory

>>16998601
So stick to spicy and original?

>>16997913
I'm not a big instant ramen guy, but I had to share this. To preface, I've worked everything from fast food up to one star(Michelin) restaurant. I know good food, and how and why.
This blew my mind: Some dumb fat chick I know, whom I'd NEVER take any advice from in anything else, was going on and on about how good nissin beef teriyaki was when you added a slice or two of American or swiss "style" cheese.
I tried it and was fucking shocked. It's amazing, addicting even. Ignore the chicken flavor, it doesn't work; and let the cheese sit for a minute after mixing in the sauce, then mix it all up thoroughly.
>pic related

>>16998661
yeah pretty much
i think one of the bbq chicken ones was actually good too, cant remember

>>16997981
>>16997913
I usually cook up 2 packets for a meal and I think the normal flavor + the BBQ chicken flavor is the best combo. I usually do this with the mi goreng's since the flavor generally ranges from edible with poor flavor to incredible flavour and enhanced dopamine/serotonin activation.

>>16997913
At the minute these are my personal favourite.
Not as hot as the regular chicken or 2x hot Samyang noodles, but got a fucking lovely sweet and sour flavour.

>>16999623
Based

>>16999623
Gotta catch em all

>>16998067
Basic ass bitch

Maruchan ramen, creamy chicken, naked style.

>>16999631
I'm working my way through the whole bunch... gonna try the carbonara ones next, they seem to be the most highly rated out of the lot!

>>16998626
Basedful

>>16998710
that stuff is pure trash

>>16998626
The superior south korean instant noodle, aint talkin shit about shin ramun but that is the coca cola of ramun.

>>16999654
They're really good and even better with just a little extra parm.

>>16997913
the tapatio noodle bowls are p schwifty

Maruchan

>>16999634
Faggot ass zoomer.
Fucking kill yourself.

>>16999654
Love the carbonara ones. Cheese is good too.

>>16999938
I know it is, that's why it was so shocking.

Call me basic but I like Nissin the most, this flavour is my favourite though their black garlic is a close second

>>16997913
A contender appears.

>>16997913
I've been eating indomie forever, but this shit changed my life a few days ago. It's hard to come by but if you ever do see it, grab it.

My favorite is Tseng Noodles. A bit pricey, but damn good.

>>17002409
Overpriced and only for people who want their home to smell liked rotten crab for a week.
Here is the better choice.

>>16997913
You know you love it.

This is a classic ramen everyone knows and LOVES!

How can I make mimic instant ramen broth? That is, is it like better than bullion and a few other things?

>>17000558
gods no, nissin is fucking atrocious, the spice pack is basically salt & msg plus some gutter oil.

>>16997913
These are great, their potato chips are nice too.

>>16998067
Regular is better, especially with sliced mushrooms and a dash of cream.

>>16998626
Perfectly average instant ramen, nothing special.

>>16999631
I tried top middle and they didn't taste like much, maybe my tongue couldn't handle the heat or something.

>>17000558
Pretty good. Also the only pork noodles I can get locally.

>>16998661
I didn't like the bbq one it was too sweet. Spicy and regular are by far the best. Sadly spicy food makes me loss out my ass now a days.

>>17000238
>>17000433
Noted!
Definitely trying those ones next then!

>>16997913
You posted the wrong one tho

>>16997913

Where my slav niggas @???

>>16997913
I dont know which one are the best, but these are easily the worst that I've ever dried

God tier: Chinese - perfect in every way

power gap

Good tier: certain Indonesian and Malaysian ones (smaller portions, fewer toppings/sauces)

OK tier: Thai, Korean

Absolutely pitifuru: Japanese, and any generic one that just has one flavour packet e.g. chicken powder

Japanese underperform so badly that it's mindblowing to think this food originated from there. Other countries, especially China, are putting in oils, vinegar, toppings of all sorts and descriptions, chilli powder, etc, and Japan just has the most basic bitch noodles. I guess it's their conservatism, not wanting to change how it has been done since the 70s or whenever. But they're shit.

Make your own flavours. I usually grab a packet of chicken flavour then add shrichacha sauce and grated cheese

>>17004569
Plenty of japanese ones have other toppings but honestly who cares about asians

>>17004569
>40+ posts into the thread until someone posts glorious master kong
the absolute state of /ck/

>>16999634
It's not "basic" it's the overall consensus. Shits just the best there is end of story

>>17002886
can't eat it regularly anymore, but used to, and def have some nostalgia for it
there's just so many better raymonds out there

good stuff when you add an egg into it
i also put kimchi at the bottom of the bowl so it makes the broth really tasty, along it some hot sauce

>>17000558
Love those.
>>16999631
Pink and green packages are my favourite. 2X is also pretty good from time to time. The problem is if you eat it too much nothing else will feel spicy anymore.

>>16997913
chad coming through

>>16997913
Those aren't ramen though, they're not a soup. Indomie is instant Mi Goreng stirfry noodle

This, or any Jjajang noodle are the best, hands down. Black bean noodles and seared cubes of steak with a good beer is the best meal any man can ask for.

a challenger appears

Paldo black bean sauce ramen is insanely based.
Also Curry Flavor Cup Noodle (Not Cup Noodles, the Japanese ver. is called Cup Noodle) is GOAT.

>>17004559
yep, tried their tom yum thinking it was impossible to fuck up some shitty paste and msg. i was Very wrong.

They recently had these for 4 for a buck at my local 99 cent only store. Absolutely amazing. Nuclear-level heat (as hot or hotter than 2X Samyang) and wonderful beefy flavor.

>>17005844
Excellent taste

>>16997913
how can a one recreate the bambu sauce that comes with it?

>>17005832
Absolutely god tier, perfect spice level and the black bean flavor is perfectly sweet.

>>16997913
How do I spice up/flavor up the Shin Ramyun? Right now I:
>2 tsp sesame oil in medium heat pan
>1 crushed garlic clove
>1 tbsp chili flakes
>longcut green onion
>mix, simmer being careful not to burn anything
Onto the noodles
>boil fatty chicken with chicken cube until the meat is tender and clean
>noodles in
>spice packets in
>get noodles soft and cooked until the water starts to cook off
>when sitting at maybe 1/3 original water, low heat add in the oil mixture, mix well
>garnish with sesame seeds maybe?
Usually I end up with very little broth but well covered noodles and it's pretty good imo. Any tips or corrections for a more complex flavor?

Recently I've been going through the JML ramen brand, pretty tasty I gotta say

>>17007145
black or white rice vinegar (i slightly prefer black and its cheaper), sempio soy, Toasted sesame oil - normal is near flavorless, mirin, black pepper, ketjap manis. cheese spread with herbs fits really well, just reduce vinegar. personally i nearly always add boiled smoked ham, and sometimes eggs fried in whatever form with cheese. fried onions are a solid option too, but i guess thats a matter of taste.

floral, spicy, creamy
give it a try

>>17007145
holy shit you type like how gordon ramsay talks thats actually awesome im freaking out

>>16997913
I usually go for hot and spicy (pink) or bbq chicken (blue) but recently I've been on the satay. Fucking love it

>>17007552
>>17005844
I grew up eating the shrimp flavored ones, very tasty.

>>17000515
Be more specific about the cheese.

Ramen connoisseurs - why does this make me shit liquid every time?

Where my hot and spicy chads at?
I couldn't decide on this or the fiery beef flavor.
I used to prefer the shrimp flavor until my brother pointed out it smells like canned cat food

>>17007695
Because it doesn't have animals, fish, msg or alcohol. Only thing left is stuff to loosen up your turd cutter

>>16999623
Yeah the kimchi flavor is God-tier.
A can of tuna is a great addition to it.

>>17000558
>Hokkaido Miso
Try the Nissin Raoh miso and add some butter to it. Heavenly.

>>17005568
A teaspoon of chili crisp in this is wonderful. For some reason this particular flavor just meshes perfectly with the chili crisp.

>>16998067
I enjoy shin ramyun but I honestly prefer both the noodle and the seasonings with mi goreng. Personally, my ideal package would have the seasonings from mi goreng and the noodle from samyang.

Ramyun hits the spot for a specific craving, but I don't find it better, and I certainly don't think it justifies the price when I can get a 5-pack of goreng for 2.50 CAD and ramyun is 2.50 per single unit. Literally 5x the price

>>17007562
Bullshit Ramsay would never ask for tips

Why is there no "premium" instant ramen that has actually a decent amount of toppings? I can't eat instant ramen too often because it's so boring how it's nothing but noodles and a pinch of greens. If I am going to add stuff myself I might as well cook proper food and not instant ramen.

Ive never had instant ramen, what it taste like?

>>17008928
Salty

w-wait you're supposed to put other shit in the ramen? Ive literally always just ate the noodles with nothing on them

>>16998067
The only real answer in this thread

Roah's pretty solid for Japanese noods

>>17007695
Hard to say, looking at the ingredients it's just wheat, soy sauce, miso, and some aromatics.

>>17008928
salt, msg, salt, broken dreams, and salt.

>>17008928
it tastes like University

>>17007833
Haven't seen that one before, will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the recommendation

>>17009641
same, what kinda shit you gotta put on it usually?

>>16999631
>>16999623
>>17005832
samyang are the best choice for spicy noods
>>17002326
koka beef noodles are I think the best beef noodles you can buy
>>17000558
I like Nissin, they can be a bit plain imo but the chicken ones are the best chicken noodles out there. I buy a box of 30 variety nissin noodles every month for regular consumption.

The bullshit thing about Indo Mee - Mee Goreng is that the ingredients are different in different markets. I’m indonesian but I vastly prefer the kind I got in holland.

>>16997913
I've only had maruchan and replacing the flavor packet with butter.

Instant noodle bros, where do you buy your packs? Online? Asian markets? My local groceries don't carry Mi Goreng

>>17014494
>My local groceries don't carry Mi Goreng
The fuck? Do you live in the middle of the desert or something?

>>17014496
I live on the West coast USA. Havent seen them in Safeway or Albertsons.

>>17014494
There's a small chain of six supermarkets that primarily serve immigrant communities around here. One of them is in the area of our town with all the Asians and they have literally an entire aisle of nothing but instant noodles; it's glorious. They also have one whole corner of the store set aside for Asian foods.
Maybe shop around your local Asian neighborhood if such a thing exists; a supermarket which doesn't explicity label itself an Asian market may actually be one in disguise like the one in my town.

>>17014512
So do I. Inland Empire. I find them at Food 4 Less, Ralph's and Stater Bros.

>>16997913
these taste literally the exact same

>>16997913

>>17014494
None of the stores around here carry mi goreng so I bought a case of 30 on amazon, lasted me a year.

>>17002409
The laksa is very good and tastes authentic. Actually I usually throw away about 1/4 of the coconut powder, then it tastes just like what I can get at Toast Box. N.B. I live in Singapore, so what I buy here might be a different product from what is exported to other countries.
>>17002864
The Chili Crab one is different from the Laksa one. It also doesn’t contain any crab, it’s based on the sauce you would put on the crab
>>17005603
“Korean style Chinese” is criminally underrated.
>>17013902
Same experience desu

>>17014494
I get multipacks and boxes off amazon. they have all my regular brands so it's pretty good.

>>17014494
and jewbay ofc.

>>16998296
I honestly can't tell the difference.

I like crab

>>17015584
I am 100% convinced its the same food and seasoning in a different package. I can't discern one from the other, and have even tried them both side by side to confirm my suspicions.

Still tasty tho

>>17017533
i wouldnt mind trying it, but 36 bucks for two fucking kilos of noodle is sheer insanity.

>>16997913

It's just good, anon.

>>17019955
What.

>>17019991

>>17020068
Oh shit. Gonna go buy some later then and try without the broth.

>>17020075
kek, enjoy. dont forget to add a bit of oil once you are frying them up. also try samyang 2x, those were also amazing stirfried.

>>16998067
is it halal tho?

>>17020075
holy fuck you're a retard

>>16999631
i fucking love the way these taste, specifically ive had the curry and hot chicken flavour, but good lord every time i eat these im guaranteed to be doubling over in abdominal pain and shitting fire after. I wish it didn't have to be this way because i fucking love them

>>17020068

The carbo one is literal crack cocaine. I can't get enough of it. It's almost worth the painful shits.

Good BUT, this shit. I'm a stocker at wally and we carry this, fuck it's amazing.

>>17002886
>Maruchan is good
Anon, go to your room. Maruchan is hot garbage compared to basically anything else.

>>17005568
2nd. I have a pack of this in my kitchen. I get the 5 pack from Kroger. Best with Soy sauce as well.

>>17008676
Cup noodle can be good. Some how it's better than Maruchan

>>17008928
Salty, lots of carbohydrates.

>>17009641
>>17012601
I suggest this:
In the water itself, either keep it for broth or dump a decent portion out. I suggest rinsing the noodles off because it will help take away some starch from it. Add the packet(s) in (different brands have several packets like peanut sauce/oil). Sometimes I've had grilled chicken.

>>17014494
find a manager and ask them if they could stock it and the local nerds would go bonkers for it. Go to a Walmart, Kroger, whatever you have and ask where their "Asian" aisle is and look around. If you don't see anything, just ask the manager as I said.

>>17014496
I was talking to my boss about this actually, I asked if we could potentially get a bigger Asian aisle and I would be happy to stock it. He said that it all depends on the population. We actually are a very heavy Hispanic and white-Oriented Walmart.
