ramen is pretty much a tarted-up version of instant noodles.

[Informer]

Ramen is glorified noodles with slices of meat, chopped up onions and other assortment of vegetables.

Pretty much the same as what you get in other Asian countries, except Ramen is prepared in a neat, articulate manner.

I don't really like it, it still taste like 2 minute maggi noodles to me.

well the instant noodles/ramen is pretty standard i must say.... but the real stuff is fantastic!

anyways ramen is just the japanese flavouring, unlike other asian flavours and ramen is only soup noodle and not dry noodles....

the nissin cup noodle is probably the most famous instant ramen... try them...

you can find them at your local japanese, chinese, korean store...

[dopefish]

instant ramen tastes like shit.

even the frozen one that you can melt and boil tastes like shit.

The best ramen is cooked fresh and is so hot that it could potentially burn your lips off.

[lang]

so is it possible to make my own fresh ramen?

anyone know a good recipe?

[Beer Baron]

i like the packet instant ramen. i think it's nissin brand too. it comes with the soup base and sesame oil.

just go to a ramen bar if you want fresh ramen.

[totoro]

ok lang ramen is a word like spaghetti...

as there is meatball, cream, etc flavours in spaghetti

the flavours of ramen is literary endless (as fresh ramen is made in different parts of japan with its distinct flavours and ingredients...)

normally instant ones are like soya sauce, pork, seafood, chicken, curry, etc.

very generic flavours...

if you want to make fresh you probably can but is easier looking for it in your local japanese restaurant. it is propably not too hard if you look into your local bookshops for some japanese recipe books or online. you probably want to taste ones in restaurants first so at least you know what its supposed to taste like and look like....

dopefish: i didnt realise there was a frozen ramen... do you mean udon?

as udon is the thick noodle as opposed to ramen being more like thinner noodle.

all this ramen talk is making me hungry! and i miss the ramen sooo much damn it....

Time to go to the local jap restaurant and see what Naruto is talking about. Hehe

[sidewaymambo]

If you are in Nagasaki ken you got to try chanpon ramen or in Kyushu Lingarhat ...the ramen itself more like chinese foken noodle with white pork bone soup.

[Rezz]

or in Kyushu Lingarhat ....

Read: Ringer Hut. I'm not a fan... but I prefer Tonkotsu Ramen (pork bone soup) from the local 'non-chain' shops.

[totoro]

yeah tonkotsu is not bad but i prefer miso or the good old char siew variety...

arrrrrrrrhhh i miss them so much... might have to fly back to eat them!

[dodgybrooks]

Yea miso ramen is where it starts and finishes. miso ramen with futomen and gyoza. where aussie pissheads on the way home from the pub eat kebabs, japanese pissheads on the way home eat ramen or go to yoshinoya

[Rezz]

where aussie pissheads on the way home from the pub eat kebabs

Lol how Australian is that?

Then again, ramen isn't exactly a Japanese invention either...

[akeenan]

i like ramen with a karai miso base
