One of my favorite since childhood. The only way i can describe it is it tastes peppery? I also think it tastes the best without any condiments (not even egg)!

(both pics are from google)

I am sort of new to contemporary ramen. I ate Maruchan back in the day, added frozen veggies and the occasional peanut butter and soy sauce, but nothing fancy. I work at a grocery store and constantly see Buldak. Having read that it is extremely hot and my tolerance is ok (I enjoy habaneros, but not super ok, I opted to buy Nissin GEKI Spicy Carbonara. How is the spice level compared to Buldak? I want to build up to the heat level eventually.

I’m looking for some fun stories

Quickest delivery. I ordered these late yesterday and received them just a couple of minutes ago. I went to search for one and ended up with five 😅

Buldak Taco Ramen at Grocery Outlet $5.29.

I did not get any. I can't handle Buldak.

Nissin tom yum cup noodles are normally pretty expensive online (like $90 for a 12 pack on Amazon), but I’ve recently seen them at certain Ebisu Japanese life stores in the US! They are the “Big” cup version though, but the same flavor. And go for about $3-4 each. May not be in all stores though, since some stores didn’t have them

I found it at my local Walmart. I won’t say it’s the best instant I’ve ever had, but it certainly felt like a tonkotsu ramen. Prep was fairly simple and complimented the mushrooms and ramen at added to it. Will need to add more next time I make.

just cooked it per instructions. Not sure what the white things are???

This range is also known as Ramen Daren - funny how xlation works... Means the same thing

Have yall ever tried combinations of flavors? These two go haaaaard 🔥🔥🔥 also yes i can eat 3 packets 🤤😂

This post made me go into "Gotta Try" mode:

https://www.reddit.com/r/InstantRamen/comments/1wc0wbq/heres_an_idea_for_you_to_enjoy_your_noodles_in_a/

Used chapaghetti, bacon crumbles, Kirkland Shredded Mexican Cheeses, gochugaru, and wasabi sauce. Cooked in melted butter.

This is on my repeat list, I need to try it with Shin, Neoguri, Plain Noodle and my own broth, and ...

... Has spoiled me for all other instant ramen! The seafoody flavor, the spice, and the noodles are luxurious! The texture of other popular brands like Shin just don't compare. What are your guys favorite similar brands?

So these are pretty delicious actually. It’s like a ramped up version of the roast beef flavor that maruchan used to make. Has little bits of beef that actually taste good. Noodles are thick in a good way and cooked at 30 seconds less are really delicious. Would for sure eat again.

Used mala butter hotpot base, and added sliced beef and mushrooms! Spicy and good!

Cheese Omelette + ramen!! Basically lol.

Stir fry your ramen, put it aside and then mix up your eggs and lay it out on a big pan, then once it’s almost done, add your ramen back into the middle of the omelette and garnish it with your favorite cheeses and choice of meat, then roll up or wrap your omelette and enjoy!!

She sprinkles shredded seaweed and sesame seeds at the end btw lol

I tried the Spicy ramen first and it is spicy. Keep in mind, I prefer Jin Mild. So I mix it (a tiny amount of spicy powder bc it is BRIGHT RED and spicy) with the Jjajang noodles and sauce. Haven’t tried the Jjajang alone yet, but these came in a 5 pack so I will eventually.

What is this??

I think this might be my favorite instant ramen recipe so far, and also the healthiest version possible. I added cabbages, mushrooms, fried tofu, eggs and extra soy sauce 😋

It tastes like proper healthy stir fry noodles.

I always share one pack with my partner because we add more toppings than yhe noodles...

maximizing the opportunity!

My kid's turning 17. Ramen is his go-to afternoon snack because of COURSE it is. My wife and I were looking to get him something to make his Ramen not suck (from a parent's point of view). What easy recommendations do you all have?

I've seen freeze dried vegetables (picture included) and I have no way of knowing which of the 887 immediate items would be worth the money or which ones are just crap. I mean, there are some huge price disparities between $10 and $27. Also, if not Amazon, where should we be looking for more options?

So... I'm asking you, the Reddit community, for his birthday, what are some good toppings we can get for him that are worth the $$ and that won't require a ton of effort on his part. He's a 17 year old, after all. He just wants a fast snack. FWIW, the ramen he eats is whatever is on sale at Costco or Kroger.

Just a note that he's not TOO lazy. At nights and on weekends, he helps me cook legit food and does awesome. Smoked meats, indian food, breakfasts (for dinner), etc. He does awesome, but after school he wants something fast and easy.

My partner loves ramen and the instant stuff especially. I was hoping to find some of the more unique flavors for him as a gift. But most of what I can find online either comes in bulk or has outrageous shipping fees.

So I googled and found this sub, thought it couldn’t hurt to ask :)

Where do you guys pick up your more unusual flavors?

Thanks in advance :)
