He’s been malnourished for 20 years, does that sound okay to you?

I know this is memes, but instant noodles weren't invented to prevent starvation. On launch they were actually many times more expensive than fresh noodles.

How did you get hot water at the airport?

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 8 points 11 months ago

Last time I passed through Taipei they had a water dispenser by the restrooms that had options for searing hot and "cold" water (it was lukewarm at best). I'd imagine Japan would have something similar.

[-] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Some of the premium ones are self heating so you just can add bottled water

Good thing I’m a nutrient consuming robot who just needs fuel to power my circuits and not a human who has to taste things.

Frankly I don’t know why the grocery store has anything other than just beans. It would save so much time.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Because it's easier to make, easy to clean up, and NOODLES!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Maybe they don't like beans. I don't generally like beans unless they're in something else.

[-] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Ground beef and flour. If I weren't allergic to wheat and all carbs didn't give me diarrhea then i could make a million meals out of those.

I've had truly instant ramen when my friend's brother came back from Japan. Dude brought a bunch of cool shit back, including a few cases of self heating ramen and a carton of self lighting cigarettes. Japan is like 500 years in the future.

[-] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

The future as imagined 30 years ago.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Back when it was something to look forward to

I sincerely hope people aren't still smoking cigarettes in 500 years.

Humanity will always find a way to harm itself.

What's your favorite instant ramen?

Mine has to be Nissin Raoh. It's so god damn delicious. It's the closest thing to a real Japanese ramen shop experience.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Indomie. This stuff cooks up more like a lo mein than the normal instant ramen (noodles floating in broth), but if you want to try something different:

https://www.amazon.com/Indomie-Instant-Noodles-Chicken-Flavor/dp/B000VSDCH4

Barbeque Chicken is the good one (it's like Korean BBQ)

Comes with 3 separate sauce packs, dry seasoning, and fried onion - boil the noodles, strain all the water out, mix all the packets together except the onion, then add them to the noodles. Mix the onion in right before serving (it'll get squishy otherwise).

Add meat/veggies/egg if you're feeling fancy.

By far the best instant ramen I've found.

That looks great, I'll have to try it.
My faves are nong shin: Red and Black
I think black is probably similar to your Raoh.

Pro tip for ramen with a packet of seasoning. Only use like 1/4 of that seasoning. It will still taste awesome and you wont feel like shit after you eat it.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 18 points 11 months ago

I recommend using the whole packet and just using slightly less water so you actually have some flavor left that isn't watered down.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 11 points 11 months ago

And add a dash of sesame oil

[-] Bears_Koolaid@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

This is one of the best improvements you can make to instant ramen. At work I keep sesame oil, furikake, hard/soft boiled eggs, and bonito flakes. Makes every lunch super easy and super delicious. Especially if you have access to boiling water. I keep an electric kettle at my desk for this reason.

Ramen... How can so many calories make you hungry again so fucking fast?

Pure carbs.
