Best packaged noodle soups according to redditors

If you care about instant noodles, you don't buy top ramen. You buy stuff like Shin Black. (If you're into spicy). I like to add egg, frozen shrimp, dried shitake, veggies etc. - anything I already have in the fridge/freezer for a super lazy but super tasty and fulfilling meal. The point is, instant noodles are definitely legit for those easy meals.

Real ramen is a whole different world though. Fresh noodles with a thick tonkotsu broth, pork, egg, seaweed... Now I want ramen.

Spicy Chicken Ramen by Samyang is also very good. It comes in regular and 2 x Spicy.

This is my personal favorite. It is spicier than anything you would usually get in a grocery store and I think it has pretty decent flavor. I always doctor ramen with sauteed vegetables like mushrooms or scallions and almost always with an egg poached in the soup while its cooking.

Might as well do it right -- https://www.amazon.com/Samyang-Bulldark-Chicken-Roasted-Noodles/dp/B01MUGP7QK?th=1&psc=1

that's actually the good korean ramen

Come to /r/ramen

I love taking a boiled egg to work and if I have left over chicken or bacon and putting those in my ramen for lunch.

This has been my go to ramen, it’s usually available in most grocery stores so it’s cheaper than the crazy amazon price. Has good flavor and has almost half the amount of sodium as typical instant noodle https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Kimchi-Noodle-Soup-Ounce/dp/B01FO3KLLU

Not OP and not sure if serious, but this will light you up pretty good although I personally prefer a nice Thai curry noodle soup kind of like [this]
(https://heatherchristo.com/spicy-thai-curry-noodle-soup/) guy but I add chilies into the paste part and I don't usually keep coconut oil around the house because it's expensive now that everyone's riding it's dick, so I use canola and add onions to the pan before you dump the spice mix in.

WHAT NOODLES ARE THEY??? I NEEEED THEM!

Google says: https://www.amazon.com/Samyang-Chicken-Flavor-Ramen_KOREAN-NOODLE/dp/B077FG8W9Z/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

https://www.amazon.com/Nongshim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S

I recommend this (just found out about it recently myself) if you're still eating the basic maruchan that I have almost all my life. Worth the extra price.

FYI, this is the actual stuff the guy is talking about.
https://www.amazon.com/Pho-Hoa-Beef-Noodle-Spices/dp/B003GRMUCU

The ingredients are anise, clove, cinnamon, ginger, all spice. It is not "pho powder--chicken and beef'. It is a time saver to use the packaged spices instead of measuring them out.

So he is just completely wrong.

Agreed. [Shin black] (https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Shin-Black-Noodle-Spicy/dp/B0061JWQOW?th=1) is my favorite.

I got you buddy.

Buy better ramen. I don't know how people can eat tons of Maruchan or Top Ramen. Get some quality shit on amazon. Its more expensive but you'll hate yourself a bit less. Here's some things to get you started with:

https://www.amazon.com/Ottogi-Mild-Ramen-Noodles-Ounce/dp/B00SOFG5Q6

https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S

https://www.amazon.com/Mama-Tom-Yum-Flavour-Noodles/dp/B000QFOXTS

NongShim Shin Ramyun is my go to instant noodle, flavorful and delicious. Easily complemented with a fried/softboiled egg, simple greens and some fried spam. Each pack is $~0.87 each, much cheaper if you buy it from a local Asian market. I typically get mine for about $0.60/pack.

Can anyone compare these to NongShim Black? I just recently discovered those from a different reddit thread and think they're amazing and just wondering how the flavor of these compares. Particularly the flavor and heat level of the broth.

TIP: don't cook the noodles in the crock pot. Boil the noodles by themselves, drain, and then add them directly to your bowls before adding the soup. This keeps the noodles from getting soggy and is much easier to portion and serve.

Also, please don't use crappy instant noodles for this dish. You already spent so much time and money preparing good ingredients, you can surely afford to spend more than a dollar on noodles. If you can't find any fresh or frozen ramen like Sun Noodle or quality dry ramen like Hakubaku, get Nongshim brand instant noodles. They're WAY better than Top Ramen/Maruchan.

Of course, you don't have to use ramen noodles at all. This recipe isn't Japanese, so why not use lo mein or rice noodles or Chinese flat egg noodles or buckwheat noodles or bean threads. If you can't find any of those, you can always substitute spaghetti or linguine. Literally anything would be tons better than cheap instant noodles.

Totally,

If you wanted just the noodles, I've used these before, they're pre-portioned and make really nice diy ramen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071Z6YX2M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CEZGAb2NG9J34

If you meant the maruchan type packs with the powdered flavor stuff https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0131AUVAE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lLZGAbCN0TKMF

I've also been experimenting with soba recently, these noodles are pretty standard! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007W0D0RG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_PIZGAbYCVVFBQ

If you haven’t, try the black package. It’s seriously like a step further into deliciousness that is shin ramyun. I bought a 10-pack on amazon and finished it in like a week because it’s so, so good.

Edit: here is what it looks like

http://www.efooddepot.com is pretty good and has sales around holidays and back to school times if you're not in a rush.

I get Shin Ramyun via amazon subscribe & save, not the cheapest noodles by far but a good deal on some good noodles with the 5+% off plus free shipping from subscribe and save. I order with a few other items every few months and get 15% off most orders.

I used to do it that way years ago but I've found better ways to add some class to instant ramen since then. If you're going to try it, I recommend using something other than American or cheddar. Go with something gooeyer like mozzarella or Swiss.

A better way to improve instant ramen is with egg, celery, bean sprouts, chili oil, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh green onions, cilantro, kimchi, or leftover meat. The absolute best thing you can do to improve your ramen game, however, is to buy higher quality instant ramen like Shin Ramyun (throw away the freeze-dried veggies if you have fresh ones, though). Find a local Asian market, they probably carry this stuff or something similar.

I always keep some chopped green onion and celery in the fridge because there's nothing that can't be improved by a little sprinkle of green onion and celery, not even ice cream. And any time I make steak, I always make an extra steak for drunken ramen that night or hungover ramen the next afternoon.

Here's how to make this masterpiece of an instant ramen. you will need the following:

-1 packet of Shin Ramyun

-a handful of chopped celery

-handful of chopped green onion

-1 TBSP kimchi

-1/4 tsp minced garlic

-Soy sauce

-sriracha

-1/2 handful of chopped white onion

-handful of bean sprouts

-leftover steak/chicken/pork/grizzly bear/whatever kind of meat you made last night, sliced like in the pic above

-one egg

-1/2 TBSP chili oil (I use this stuff)

-600mL of water (~2.5 cups)

Bring the water to a boil in a pot with a bottom no wider than 6 inches. While the water is coming to a boil, add the flavoring powder, and throw the freeze dried veggies in the trash where it belongs. Then add a splash of soy sauce, a good long squirt of sriracha, the garlic, and chili oil. When the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium low, and add the noodles and onion.

When the noodles are looking sort of close to done, take a spoon and scoop them to one side, and crack an egg into the space without noodles on the other side (being able to crack and open an egg one handed is very useful here) . Spoon the hot broth onto the egg until the white sets, then add your celery. The idea here is to get the egg and noodles to be done at the same time, but before the broth reduces too much.

Once your egg is cooked to your liking (which by law should be over-medium), pour everything into a bowl. Pour from the side of the pot opposite of where the egg is so it comes out last and lands on top of the noodles. Add your green onion, kimchi, bean sprouts, and meat slices (cold is fine, the soup will warm it up). Follow the Seinfeld Soup Nazi rules and eat this while sitting down, because it will make your knees buckle if you've never had anything but plain Top Ramen.

Edit: added recipe for instant ramen that doesn't suck

Here's the 10 pack I bought;

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079WLKGF2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And here's the variety pack I'm buying next;

https://www.amazon.com/Samyang-Original-Nom-Box-Chopsticks/dp/B071S1NK79/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1524864782&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=samyang+spicy+noodles&psc=1

they are 8 bucks a bowl. have a blast...

https://www.amazon.com/Maruchan-Instant-Ramen-Tsuta-Sauce/dp/B07BPHPGZF

The Maruchan ramen is $9/12 on Amazon, but it's only about $0.15 in the store for each pack. T___T You could upgrade to a $22/20 of Shin ramen at that point: https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S

That same brand makes some ridiculously spicy ramen. It was so hot I couldn’t even finish it.

https://www.amazon.com/Samyang-Chicken-noodle-Buldak-Variety/dp/B079WLKGF2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=samyang+ramen&qid=1572711798&sr=8-3

Yeah, I made a roast with either ghost or reaper before in a slowcooker. One alone made the roast quite spicy but very flavorful. It was like a lingering burn but wasn't overly powerful!

That said, I'm a spicy fanatic so my taste will be different in comparison to other people. I think this ramen is fantastic but other people basically die eating it.

Yeah but I also mix in stuff like ramen. I buy this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PYS5F3A?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

That's under $2 per meal, not bad

And yeah I get you, money isn't an issue for me but it sucks because it prevents certain people from converting to veganism. Thankfully more and more companies offer vegan options and as this trend continues, competition will hopefully help drive prices down. For example, Kite Hill has practically no competition in various categories, so they go nuts on the prices

I once "participated" in a two-hour conversation while high by sitting there, saying nothing, and fidget spinning.

Another time I thought it would be a great idea to eat of the double spicy version of the noodles from the spicy ramen challenge - the sauce was so potent that my fingers burned the next morning in the spot where I had accidentally spilled some.

Alright! I'm going to list a bunch of different types, so bear with me here--

If you're looking for a more classic, almost like Top Ramen kind of tastes, I recommend these: Sapporo Ichiban

They're basically just tastier Top Ramen, in my opinon. If you want to fancy it up a bit and go a little deeper into "classic" ramen tastes, then go with this: Nissin Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu

Speaking of Tonkotsu, do you like a richer Tonkotsu flavor? Then this is what you'll want to try! Myojo Charumera Ramen Tokotsu Shoyu

A bit too high calorie? Want something lighter, non-fried, but still has some delicious Tonkotosu flavor and a firmer chew? Then try Nissin Raoh!

It also comes in the Soy Sauce and Miso flavors, or even Shio if you're looking for that!

Japanese not your thing? Want to try some Korean Ramyun? Neoguri Spicy Seafood might be your thing!

But like some szechuan spice with some authentic ma la flavor that numbs your mouth? Why not try our JML Instant Noodle Artificial Spicy Hot Beef Flavor?
P.S. The "artifical" is a bad translation of the ma la flavor

What about some southeast asian flavors? Nothing like Mama Tom Yum flavor to brighten up your day! These are smaller packet, just something to keep in mind. They also make Shrimp creamy Tom Yum and Artifical Pa-Lo Duck Flavor if you're into that!

Speaking of which, let's get some Laksa and Penang in here! MyKuali Penang White Curry is a very delicious, but kind of shrimp funky kind of flavor, but it's definitely worth a try! The entire MyKuali line is very good!

What about something a bit more on the more luxurious side, but also has that same fermented shrimp funk? Why not Prima Taste Laksa La Mian with coconut broth?

And if we want to go into the more expensive, more authentic ramen taste, there's Ichiran instant ramen, which is expensive, but pretty close to an actual authentic bowl of Ichiran Tonkotsu Ramen!

I hope this helped, and let me know if there's anything else you'd like to try, and I can give recommendations! I also recommend going to a local asian supermarket and browsing their instant ramen section-- Amazon only carries the more popular ones, and there are truly some delicious hidden gems that you can only get in asian grocery stores!

These are much better.

I'm not too sure honestly. I ordered it from Amazon.

Shin Ramyun - pretty standard for my korean/koreanized buddies. You can actually cook this in the mylar bag it comes in if you have a cloth to take some of the heat

Shin Ramyun Black - A danker version of Shin Ramyun. Can also cook in the bag it comes in.

Chapagetti - Second most popular amongst my Korean friends. This is actually a good replacement for Yakisoba as it's not so soupy. If I do recall, you can cook these in the bag they come in as well.

Cheese Ramen - personal favorite at the moment.

Tonkatsu Flavored Ichiban Ramen - my go to at home when my wife and I are too lazy to cook something. Don't cook this one in the bag tho.

Also - for me, the Chinese instant noodles are always the dankest, but I only go to the Chinese supermarket when I visit my bro in law so don't end up buying them for trips... here's a popular chinese market that you can buy instant noodles from online. I haven't gone wrong with any of the chinese instant noodles yet.

Also - to supe up my instant noodles, I always toss in some pork floss or spam, egg crystals and a dried vegetables or dried seaweed. If it's a short trip, I always bring a few cloves of garlic for them as well. I've also tossed some sesame oil (excellent calorie profile) into a bigger eye dropper that i'll toss into the noodles to get more fat to burn.

I kinda agree with Quetzalcoa.. I can't get myself to try eat ramen bomb or non asian instant noodles knowing I grew up preparing these guys a different way.

Big ups to my friend Ren, who is the single hardcorest Yurucamp fan I know, for providing advice and involving a friend of hers who made this for their own Yurucamp re-enactment last winter. Original recipe: https://cookpad.com/recipe/5012229

I hate it when recipe bloggers do their life story before the recipe. Here's what you came for, extra info follows thereafter. Amazon links to harder-to-find goods included, but you can find this stuff at any decent Asian market. All I'm going to say is that if you like cooking and you like Yurucamp, you absolutely have to try this before you die.

​

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp (or more) chili garlic oil/chili oil/rayu/etc.

1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

1" peeled fresh ginger, minced (or if you have it, 1 teaspoon of ginger paste)

1/4 lb ground pork (we omitted this due to medical dietary concerns)

1 tbsp doubanjiang (You can double this if you like it really spicy

1 1/4 cups cold water

1/4 pound tofu, cut into 1/2" cubes (doesn't have to be perfect)

4 tbsp goma shabu/sesame dipping sauce (If you understandably don't want to pay $20 for this, you can make it yourself - this looks like it's easy enough to do using tahini as a base)

2 packets miso ramen flavoring from ramen packets (if you can get it from a local Asian market, get the kind that comes with the fresh [not freeze-dried] noodles so you can cook the noodles in the broth, otherwise substitute with 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and a little bit of sake or dry white wine)

1 tsp chicken bouillon/stock powder (I use and highly recommend Better than Bouillon paste, it's lower in sodium and lasts forever in the fridge)

4 leaves Napa cabbage, thick white parts cut out from the leaves

A handful of bean sprouts

Fresh mushrooms (We usually use enoki and shitake, but if you don't have access to those, regular button mushrooms or baby bella will work fine)

Scallions, sliced into 3" sections (Don't use leeks, they're not the same, but if you can get access to Tokyo negi/naga negi, that's the real stuff)

Pork gyoza or similar potstickers, thawed to room temperature or fresh and not frozen (as many as you can fit around the rim)

​

1. Cut the cabbage into thin slices. Keep the white core parts separate from the green leafy parts.
   
2. Cut the roots off of the mushrooms if they have them, remove stems from shitake/button/baby bella.
   
3. Heat a nabe pot or stock pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the sesame oil and swirl to coat.
   
4. Add the garlic and ginger to the oil. Stir, cooking until fully aromatic (1-2 minutes at most)
   
5. Add the ground pork, stirring to break up chunks. Cook it until it's cooked all the way through and no longer pink.
   
6. Add the doubanjiang and stir to coat. Cook for a minute, stirring constantly.
   
7. Add the water and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil.
   
8. Add the goma shabu, chicken stock, miso ramen flavoring/substitute paste, and chicken stock. Stir well and bring to a boil.
   
9. Put the tofu, mushrooms, white parts of the cabbage, and dumplings into the pot. Cover, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 3 minutes.
   
10. Put the scallions, green cabbage parts, and bean sprouts into the pot, cover, and cook for 3 minutes more.
    
11. Top with chili oil/chili garlic oil. Serve it up, and save some of the broth to cook noodles in to finish it off.
    
    ​
    
    This can't be beat served in a nabe pot over a portable gas burner, family-style, but you can easily just do this in a normal pot. I doubled the recipe to feed four people, and used some different toppings/ingredients. It scales up well, just make sure you don't go over the rim of your pot.
    
    In terms of quantity of toppings, ;ess is more, and I found this out the hard way. Don't overload with everything, you can easily just use half of what you prep and add more to cook after everyone takes their first share. Also, the dumplings tend to fall apart if cooked too long, so go for them first.
    
    Also the Shimarin scooter figure is getting made, erryone get hype

This variety is vegan and tastes great! And you should be able to find it at your local grocery store. Edit: whoops I saw that you said not one that is vegetable flavor. Mama noodles have several vegan flavors I believe. But the one I linked is seriously good.

As close to Japanese ramen as you'll get. See other flavors, Soy sauce and Miso

Korean ramen. The broth is a spicy sullongtang, a beef base. I love the noodles from Nongshim- they're a bit thicker and less firm

Also Korean, Gomtang is similar to Tonkotsu broth, as they are both milky colored bone based broths. although Tonkotsu is pork, I think. Once again, the noodles are more Korean style

And mh personal favorite, Hiyashi Chuka is a cold, sesame noodle with the same ramen noodles, but a sauce rather than a soup. Best with a medium boiled egg, and julienned cucumbers and other veggies.

From one of my comments in a different post...

Ingredients

• Oxtail (2-3 lbs)<br />

• Short Ribs (1-2 lbs) or Beef bones (1-2 lbs) or Beef Shank (1-2 lbs)
  
• 3-4 Medium Onions
  
• 4 inches of Ginger
  
• 1 large lump of rock sugar (about 1 inch cube)
  
• 1/2 cup salt
  
• 2 Pho Hoa Pho spice bags
  
• Salt and sugar to taste
  
  Directions
  
  

1. Bring small pot of water to boil.<br />

2. Parboil beef for about 1 minute.
   
3. Rinse with cold water and hand clean the meat and bones to wipe away any surface scum.
   
4. Over open flame or under broiler, blacken onions and ginger. No need to peel. Get surface nice and blackened.
   
5. Add beef, onions and ginger, salt, rock sugar and 1 Pho Hoa spice bag to large pot. No idea what size I have.. just the biggest I have.
   
6. Fill pot with water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
   
7. As the water heats up, scum will rise to the surface. Skim it off every 10 minutes for the first hour and then periodically after.
   
8. Don't bring pot to hard boil... should just be a rolling simmer.
   
9. After 8-10 hours the meat should be fall apart tender and the pot should have reduced.
   
10. I turn off the heat and slowly transfer the broth from the cooking pot to a new pot. During the transfer, I run it through a fine strainer (I've used cheese cloth as well) to catch any little particulates. You end up with a very clean broth after this step. Discard the onions and ginger.
    
11. When I get to the bottom, I carefully take the oxtail out and separate the meat from the bones. After all that, you should have a pot of relatively clear and clean broth and a separate container of delicious oxtail ready to add to your pho.
    
12. Bring the pot to just below boil again. Now you will finish your seasoning. Taste the broth... too bland, add some more salt. I also add the 2nd Pho Hoa spice bag.
    
13. Let it simmer for another 20 minutes.
    
14. Prepare your bowls with rice noodles and oxtail and just ladle the broth over it. Garnish with green onions, onions and cilantro and serve.
    
    Note: Need a little more sweet, add a very small lump of sugar at a time. Remember that sipping the broth alone without any noodles in a bowl, you will want it to be a little saltier and sweeter than you would expect. When dip your noodles in the boiling water and drop in your bowl, it will water down the broth slightly.
    
    Note2: My family does not use fish sauce in pho as it adds too much of a funk to long cooking soups/broths like pho. We add it at the table to individual bowls if the diner wants it.
    
    Note3: The Pho Hoa spice bags are the same spices you would use to make pho, but ground up and put into little tea bags. Sure it is better to have all fresh spices, but it's just more convenient to have these little bags in the pantry. This is an amazon link, but go to your local Asian/Vietnamese market. It'll be a lot cheaper there.

If I recall correctly, the only vegan instant ramen is some of those by a brand Koyo (comes in various flavors and they’re not bad!), the cup miso ramen from Mr. McDougall’s, and the Nissin brand oriental. The Maruchan brand version says it includes soy sauce which means there’s a high chance it has fish oils/stock incorporated. (There’s also another “vegetarian” ramen by Traditional that contains soy sauce, but it’s chicken flavored.)

Check out theramenrater.com I promise I'm not affiliated but it's a hell of a resource. There's top ten lists that should help.

Also fwiw I used to and still buy the basic Maruchan ramen from most grocery stores and use powdered Habanero, Ghost and Scorpion peppers from Sonoran Spice Company and it heats up my ramen very nicely to the point where these Samyang varieties are delicious but I'm not blowing smoke out of my ears or anything.

Also I have these saved in my wish list from other recommended flavors people have shared (I'm hoping to get them on my asian market and not online):

> Tom Yum Goong

Mmmm....... Love me some Tom Yum.....

I actually regularly make a fake Tom Yum using Tom Yum paste and NongShim Shin Black Noodle Soup

Just make the noodles as if you were making Ramen Noodles, including all the spice packets and what not that come with the noodles, add fresh cilantro, basil, and green onion, fresh jalapeno slices, and purple onions. I also cook up some small meatballs made from hamburger and throw in but you could use any meat.

Turns a package of noodles into a frigging meal.

If it's not the 2x nuclear fire noodles, you'll be fine. The packaging would be red.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MUGP7QK/

They literally use this to make their ramen.

There's these two that I know of. Nongshim Kimchi and Nongshim Veggie.

My technique is not as posh as proper Japanese ramen, but it may give you a start. I tend to use something like Nongshim Shin in a flavour I like. First, I soft boil 2 eggs. Then I prepare veg like Pak Choi, spring onions, peas, asparagus, baby corn, and perhaps some sauteed mushrooms or cabbage, and maybe some water chestnuts for texture. I then boil water and add noodles and spice packets followed by my veg (excluding water chestnuts and things that needn't be cooked). I rinse and drain and peel my eggs. I pour my cooked ramen and veg into a big bowl and then top with the split boiled eggs, sauteed mushrooms and cabbage, spring onions and something like Shichimi Togarashi.You can also add grilled or stirfried meat to your taste. I'm allergic to meat, so I tend to keep it simple. You can use different kinds of seaweed, too. I like to soak arame in cold water while my eggs boil and then sprinkle this on top with my other toppings. The only limit to what you can do with your ramen is your imagination. The Wagamama noodle cookbook is quite awesome and you should be able to get it in America, too. It'll give you some starting points. Good luck and enjoy!

On amazon right now for under $1 a piece, OP may not have gotten the best deal: https://smile.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1505088671&sr=1-4&keywords=shin%2Bramyun&th=1

This Soon Veggie Noodle Soup doesn't have palm oil in it. You could also make your own, it isn't too difficult but maybe a bit more time consuming. I like to use Lotus brown rice ramen and make a broth using mushrooms and kombu then add in lots of veggies.

I made a trip to my local asian supermarket and picked up a few different kinds of instant ramen to try. I was looking for this one to try as well, but they didn't have any at this particular supermarket. I have another asian supermarket nearby that has a bigger variety of instant ramen and I plan on going there in the next few weeks. I would love to try other brands not pictured here, so let me know your favorite instant ramen that you think I should try. If possible link some pictures so I know what to look for at the store. The ramen pictured here are:

 

Mama Tom Yum

indomie

samyang spicy chicken

samyang 2x spicy I tried this one and it is way too spicy for me, the flavor was delicious though

saporo ichiban miso this is one of my favorite instant ramen, I buy it all the time, it's so good

shin ramyun spicy This is my favorite instant ramen. This was the first instant ramen I tried that wasn't maruchan and I fell in love. This led me to try other brands from the asian store that I wouldn't normally have tried.

*edit: i just tried the indomie and wow, it was delicious, so flavorful, definitely getting some more of those

Thai kitchen soup

Is this it? What flavor do you buy? :) sounds good! And if it is actually filling that's great! Sometimes I can't get full haha.

It's easily the best instant ramen. I recently discovered that Nongshim makes a "premium" variety called Shin Black, but it's somewhat rare. I found some at the Asian market. It's like $1.75 a pack, which is sort of ridiculous for instant ramen, but it's amazing. Comes with two flavor packs instead of one, and the vegetables are bigger.

I toss in a couple cubes of tofu braised in a Gochujang/soy sauce/sesame oil mixture, or crack an egg directly into the broth. Great hangover food.

Are you time poor as well as cash poor, meaning you don't have a lot of time for prep/cooking? If that's the case things get a lot tougher, but there are some pretty good GF recipes that can be adapted to fit your needs, especially centered on a "rice and beans" diet.

http://www.budgetbytes.com/2014/02/vegan-red-beans-rice/ - Red beans and rice. The main things you'd really need, at a min, are salt, rice, and beans, oil, and broth - anything extra is for flavoring. People will tell you it's not "real red beans and rice" or whatever, but fuck 'em - you're eating for food and yourself, not for judgement.

Budget bytes in general has a lot of recipes that can be adapted.

You can do a lot as long as you have flour, as well, like make rouxs, thicken soups to be heartier, fry things, or even bake if you have salt, sugar, and a fat like oil or butter.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/25848001?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227028239822&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=47345377232&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=57393857440&veh=sem - GF flour from Wal-Mart.

Note - chicken gizzards are usually fairly cheap, $1 - $2 for a pound/pound a half where I live. There are recipes on line for how to cook them, but it's pretty easy to trim silver skin, coat in flour and salt, brown in oil, add water (stock if you have it/make it), wait for two hours, and have a thickened soup base/meat soup.

Chicken livers are also usually fairly cheap and don't require much to fry.

Local butchers will also typically have cheaper meats than chain grocery stores.

If you get extra cash to buy a bulk order of instant noodles, these are a pretty decent and pretty filling if you drop an egg in and microwave it with them: http://www.amazon.com/Thai-Kitchen-Instant-Vegetables-1-6-Ounce/dp/B000GZUFCM/ref=pd_sim_325_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51kl9XteqEL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR115%2C160_&refRID=1EH48P4HDK6QQA4VAQF2

Also, sites like textbroker.com or http://www.crowdsource.com/workforce/ can provide extra cash if you have the time/write. They take about a week or two to setup, and can be challenging if you're not used to churning out articles regularly, but they're legit and pay regularly.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

*edit for syntax

I don't know where to find them... but I'd love to know. Someone brought me two of the Nakiryu instant from 7-Eleven in Japan, and they were delicious.

BTW it looks like the top has changed, there's an importer on Amazon with the new ones.

https://www.amazon.com/Nissin-Instant-Ramen-Nakiryu-Tantanmen/dp/B07RV88NJV

Edited to add: Nakiryu is the second ramen shop to get a Michelin star. The first was Tsuta, and they also make an instant. Also sold in 7-Eleven in Japan... must be nice.

https://www.amazon.com/Maruchan-Instant-Ramen-Tsuta-Sauce/dp/B07BPHPGZF

Try this one! It's vegan but delicious enough that plenty of omnivores love it. The noodles are also very chewy :)

Amazon also has a decent selection of ramen. I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00778B90S/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_8?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

Hey man, I'm really sorry for your loss.

Not that this should be a daily meal, but if you like ramen...
Find Shin Black at a store/online
Cook as instructed but add:

• Kraft single slice stirred into the broth
  
• Cracked egg into hot broth at end (or soft boiled egg)
  
• Sliced green onions on top (buy 1 bunch and keep in a glass with some water by a window...they will last/grow forever if you change water every so often)
  
• Bacon / sliced & fried spam / pulled pork / leftover meat on top
  
  For cheap meat, pork butt (shoulder) can be really cheap. Buy a hunk and either:
  
  
• cook it in a slow cooker, look up kahlua pork. Shred & use in tacos, quesadillas, pulled pork sandwiches w/bbq sauce and pickled red onions (also cheap & easy to make & delicious), soup...can freeze extra
  
• pork adobo
  
• chop into portions & put what you don't need in a ziplock, try to squeeze out air, and freeze for another day
  
  Grab veggies on sale, chop up, toss with oil, roast in your oven - simple and often delicious
  
  Don't be afraid to freeze food (raw or cooked) for another day! Just google if you aren't sure with a certain food.
  
  By the way - it's totally possible to eat well without spending a lot, and if you have the time/energy to embrace cooking, do it. It can be hard to do when alone, but it also can be a truly enjoyable hobby. For example, you can try perfecting an omelette every morning for breakfast, or make a lot of interesting Chinese/Indian/etc recipes with cheap ingredients but a ton of flavor. As other commenters mentioned, it might take a bit to build up your pantry, but spices and many ingredients will last you ages. Good luck to you!
  

So these are noodles by a company called Samyang, they're x2 spicy "chicken" noodles. Here's a link to what they look like Samyang Bulldark Spicy Chicken Roasted Noodles, 4.93 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MUGP7QK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Jz04AbC68G08M.

If you look up spicy ramen challenge on YouTube, everyone is eating this one. There are a lot of ramen packages that do have English on the back! Try going to your local vietnamese or Korean grocery.

I like to add veggies, Rice cakes, sometimes even the frozen dumplings, as well as some extra sausages if you want to make it taste better.

Edit: Im korean, and almost threw up when my friend gave me the maruchan "chicken flavor" to taste. *shudder, never again. Ah! forgot egg! egg always makes things more yummy

Well, the hammock, insulation, tarp etc are all a part of a system my girl made. I will leave it up to her to talk about those details. There are some details in with the images.

We are ultra-light, so we don't bring much with us. The heaviest we'll go is about 38lbs for 5 nights.

We used a penny stove for the longest time, but for just a few extra grams, the Titanium Sol Jetboil is very light, more convenient and faster. Less fuel is wasted, so overall it might be lighter.

The dog carries his own bed and food with a Mountainsmith dog pack.

We use an in-line mechanical water filter, pulled from a Sawyer water bottle that we added to our Platypus (superior to Camelback IMO). The hose has a quickconnect, so we can dunk the platy in the water then reconnect the hose without worrying about contamination.

We have a variety of backpacks, mostly GoLite, and we generally select them based on the size of the trip. I haven't found a backpack that is uniquely noteworthy.

We generally choose food for calorie density. Creamed coconut is nutritional and significantly more calorie-dense than.. well, everything. We also bring a lot of powders, thick indian curry sauces, high-calorie instant noodles, mayonnaise packets, tuna packets, thin rice noodles, dates, olive oil, candies. But we would never bring something as low calorie as bacon.

We also collect and eat various wild foods, including morel mushrooms, wood sorrel, indian cucumber-root, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, wintergreen berries and other mints (and leaves for tea), Jewelweed/touch-me-nots (seeds taste like walnuts, young stalks taste like green beans, flowers are sweet), cattail, arrowroot, dandelion, wild ramps (delicious when fried and added to instant noodles).

Edit: More links to gear.

NongShim Soon Veggie is vegan and tasty. Here's an Amazon link. Add some blanched bok choi, sauteed mushrooms (shitake, oyster, enoki), bean sprouts, green onion and some corn. Since you're ok with fish, add some sliced kamaboko or surimi(krab) on top. Finish it off with a splash of la-yu (spicy sesame oil) and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Nom.

These kimchi ramen cups are selling at Costco (for far less, think $8/12?). They've got a bit of heat, nowhere near the shin ramyun I've seen recommended for spicy though. Definitely have to add your own chili flakes or hot sauce though (I like to put in my homemade habanero sriracha).

I have a recipe for making shin style ramen though, now I wanna try and veganize it hmmmm.

http://www.amazon.com/Nongshim-Gourmet-4-2-Ounce-Packages-20-Count/dp/B00778B90S

Usually sold in a Super Walmart in the Asian food section. Far more pricey than Nissin Top Ramen though. I personally, for a cheap and quick meal, get Maruchan Yakisoba noodles and throw in some pieces of chicken breast and carrots. I find the oily part of the noodles satisfying. I'm sure many here will find that info disgusting.

Isn't that the same thing or am I missing something?

https://smile.amazon.com/Nissin-Chili-Flavor-Instant-Soup/dp/B00J0F2E00/ref=sr_1_8_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1499699556&sr=8-8&keywords=top+ramen

Yep! You can get black shin 18 pack for 32 bucks if you have prime

Check this out- https://www.amazon.com/Tradition-Imitation-Chicken-Flavor-Instant/dp/B000H2400M

Ramen fans should also try Shin Black.You'll never go back, I swear. Top notch ramen.

I usually slice up and pre-sauté some onion, garlic and mushrooms in the pot the ramen will be boiled in, with a bit of butter or toasted sesame oil and a splash or two of rice wine. When that's close to done I'll crack an egg or two in there and let it cook. When the egg is done you just add the water and cook the noodles. You can alternately add the egg when the noodles are boiling if that's more your thing. Takes about 10 minutes total, very worth the effort.

Shin Black has great seasonings already, but for standard ramen I'd also add chili garlic sauce to spice it up.

Maruchan Tsuta

Nakiryu Tantanmen

Nissin Raoh

I think you mean these Thai Kitchen

I've gotten Gia Vi Nau Pho (Pho Hoa) Beef Noodle Soup Spices sachets from Amazon.

I love ramen for cold nights. The shin black is OK, but this one is spicier and I like it a lot more. I add a dehydrated veggie mix like this one.

This makes for a relatively low-sodium soup. Add chicken or some other freeze-dried protein and it’s a light weight and tasty trail meal.

sorry for the late reply but- they’re actually just instant noodles! either way, they’re still really tasty and have a nice spice to them. i found these at an asian supermarket but you can find them here on amazon. i’d recommend adding bok choy along with the mushrooms. :)

こっちのほうが辛そう

Samyamg curry ramen. I bought it from my local h mart. Here is what it looks like on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWJ2M1R

Same. Also a big fan of Nong Shim Neoguri and the Buldak (fire chicken) ramen.

Korean Ramen is the prepackaged stuff.

Shin Ramen - A classic. Link


Jin Ramen (Spicy)- My personal favorite. Link


Bul Dak- This one isn't cooked in a soup but you just cook the noodles, drain, mix in sauce. Link Super spicy. You have been warned.


Additions to ramen: Egg, Green Onion, Kimchi, Rice in the soup after you've eaten all the noddles if you're still hungry.

This is the one we buy!

It's actually shin ramyun, which is sort of like Korean ramen! This is my favorite and the one pictured.

They have another spicy one but with curry...same noodles as well.

Im not sure if you can find these in Canada, Im from the US...

I tend to eat Hakubaku Organic soba noodles but I think their ramen and udon is also vegan they also have others so maybe something your looking for?

I would also go to an Asian food market you might find what your looking for there.

If you want to make some at home.

Nongshim

This stuff is pretty good, but can be really expensive. Unlike the other brands which all seem to be accidental this plays on the desire for healthy vegetarian food in the market. Probably the same reason it’s proudly labeled approved vegan by the vegan society.

Here is what I ordered:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079WLKGF2

Two of my go-tos are

White Curry

And (of course) Shin Black

Shin Ramyun is a solid A- at all times. Its a nice staple, good spice packet, good dried veggie packet (shiitake is always welcome). Some people will call bullshit, but I actually like Shin Ramyun black.

Mama's Tom yum flavor is awesome. just awesome. kind of tiny, but also cheap.

Same with Indomie hot and Spicy flavor.

Sapporo Ichiban is again a nice staple. I'd say solid B unless you really like one of the flavors. Wife REALLY likes the tonkutsu, but its artificially flavored, and the only one of the basic flavors that has that on the label. I don't know why.

I also enjoy the Myojo Udon you see there with a lot of scallions and white pepper added to the mix. Obey the instructions on this one: boil noodles separately from a pot of just water. use the hot water on the flavor pack (and white pepper to taste, probably a lot), drain noodles and put in stock, add scallions and whatever else. maybe do a soy egg or something. I like beef or spicy flavors on this one.

Not an expert, but I say get some Nongshim. It is one of the better repackaged brands I've had. Also seems to have relatively good reviews within this sub versus other instant packages. http://www.nongshimusa.com

Will be a step up in quality and easy to get from amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00778B90S/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_awdm_kgUvtb1K9BWJK

I'm sure you can find them in Atlanta or something! They're pretty popular noodles :D

There are days where I can't even chew. However, I've found black nongshim yun ramen very easy to eat. Even on my worst painful days, I just drink three soup and it gets me by. I usually add a raw egg and let it cook in the soup base.


Also, I've had chicken in a minced form with cilantro and onions asking with mashed black beans.


Keep in mind, she won't be able to chew and she will be using her tongue and the roof of her mouth or the rear teeth to eat. So, keep the food in that theme.

I would try and see if you can find some narco/pain meds for those days where she's just in pain.

I reallllly enjoy Nong Shim veggie ramyun. It’s labeled as mild level spicy.

Shin Ramen Then add a bunch of stuff to it.

Have you had Nongshim ramen? It's by far my favorite and would recommend to everyone.

It's this. https://www.amazon.com/Nongshim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S

Instant ramen, but the good stuff, usually spicy - at least 2nd or even 3rd tier (measured by number of soup/spice packets). It's shelf stable, and easy to toss in whatever extra protein and veggies we have.

I need a minimum of about ~75g carbs before a workout. Usually about 30 minutes before. It should be mostly low fat/low protein, and low/no sugar.

Then I'll usually do another ~50g carbs in a more sugary form intra workout.

Lately Shin Ramyun are my go to preworkout. Extremely tasty, easy to make... fairly cheap (less than $1/pack if you buy at BJs). Best Ramyun around imo. It's kind of a cheat, but since I do it preworkout I allow it. :)

https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S?th=1

OH MY GOD FUCK hahah . I'm Korean, the ramen that Koco sells is literally less than $1.00 a pack in grocery stores. All Koco does is add a slice of cheese or some eggs and vegetable medley to it. No asian person orders ramyun and pays $7+ plus tax and tip in a restaurant.

Ramyun:

https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S?th=1

My favorite ramen is Shin Red: https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S?th=1

Add some lime juice and some fresh veggies/meat during or after the boil and it's magic.

I make this ramen (the best instant): https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S

according the package. (That includes adding the spice packet.) Then I drain all the liquid and crack in an egg or two. I stir it around and it coats the noodles. It’s seriously good.

Or, of course, you could always make spaghetti carbonara. It’s a similar take on eggs. The eggs coat the spaghetti noodles.

They have the 2x on Amazon. It's really hot.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MUGP7QK/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_ZDMvzbK7F1R8V

Yeah, they're not even that common where I live, I just happened to be on the other side of town and needed a few groceries. One other thing is that the name of Nissin isn't as prominently displayed as the words "top ramen" I usually check for both just to be sure though. The chili is my favorite, this is the one from amazon (I'm on mobile so hopefully this link works) :

These https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Ramyun-Noodle-Gourmet-Spicy/dp/B00778B90S)

Here are my 3 favorite brands. I think you should be able to find them at Seafood City.

https://www.amazon.com/Nongshim-Shin-Black-Noodle-Spicy/dp/B017IRZLKQ/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1493509793&sr=8-2&keywords=shin+ramyun+black

https://www.amazon.com/SAPPORO-ICHIBAN-INSTANT-RAMEN-TONKOTSU/dp/B01MS03T6V/ref=sr_1_14_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1493509840&sr=8-14&keywords=tonkotsu+ramen

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LDI18YO/ref=sr_ph_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1493509872&sr=sr-1&keywords=laksa

I add whatever I have on had. I have jars of fried shallots, fried onion, and pork floss. I usually will quickly boil an egg and let it sit in soy sauce for a while. I also almost have green onions on hand and they get chopped up and added. Gochujang is a good spicy add-in too.

This is the best I've had, soup wise, the noodles aren't as 'fresh' tasting as Roah, but I keep coming back to this for the broth. 4.5 stars with 74 reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Nongshim-Ramyun-Black-Noodle-Packages/dp/B0061JWQOW/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1418359842&sr=1-1&keywords=ramen+black

Amazon!

This is the kind I had today!

This is my favorite: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00778B90S/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_j4KLDbHAAQ4YD

Chapageti w/shrimp and a lil hot sauce is flavorful and filling as well.

To replicate the experience without leaving your house, have some of this delivered.

Although I like to think of myself as liking spicy foods, I'm definitely in the American midrange, and I can enjoy a level which makes me sweat, but not which feels like my mouth is sustaining damage :)

My other go-to packaged noodles besides Kitsune Udon (which was also back in the day, well before Babymetal) was Neoguri Spicy Seafood ramyun, which is Korean made. Also delicious, only moderately spicy. I'd fill it out with small chunks of tofu. But I've been off those for years now.

Nongshim all the way. I like the veggie ones. There are lots of other brands, but almost anything nongshim consistently blows easily found ramen like Top Ramen, and Maruchan out of the water for just a tiny bit more money.

When I am going all out I add the following items: egg, bamboo shoots in chili oil, and If I have it on hand, a little dried seaweed like furikake. Depending on flavor of the soup I also add a little rice vinegar, fish sauce, and white pepper.

Shin Ramen is good, but kind of basic. A lot of the common Korean ones are spicy and taste like MSG. I grew up on these and have been eating them for 25+ years.

Lots of new instant noodles that are popular in Asia that don't use flash fried noodles. Its a new wave of "healthier" noodles that have better texture. You usually have to make these on the stove.

Check out Myojo Chukazanmai Instant Ramen Miso Soybean Paste Flavor, 3.84-Ounce (Pack of 6) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011LSF4Q4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_zbsMAbZN3803N
Or
Asha Healthy Ramen Noodles, thin size noodles (5 individual 95g pouches) (Sesame, 1 pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CA4Z3RO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8dsMAbKR1QPPZ

If you're lucky to be in an area with an Asian grocery store that carries these, check there cause the price will probably be better.

There are lots of diff flavors for the two brands above. I linked to the first ones I found on Amazon. For myojo, my favorite is Soybean and I love the thick spicy Asha noodles.

Okay friend so this right [here ](http://www.NongShim.com/ Shin Ramyun Noodle Soup, Gourmet Spicy, 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 20) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00778B90S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_FikMAbEZMZQNA)is my favorite ramen but I don't know how much spicy food you have in Norway (I'm from Southwest USA so spicy is my go to and this is spicy) so if you want something quality but not too spicy I found that [this one is really good](http://www.Maruchan.com/ Yakisoba Teriyaki Beef , 4.00 Oz., Pack of 8 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0025UOMZM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_3kkMAbDG7SNXZ) and [this one](http://www.Sapporo.com/ Ichiban Noodle Instant Bag, Original, 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 24) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AH778M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nmkMAbASTY94S) is a favorite of mine too!

I gotchu fam here's the gateway drug Or if your bold and can do a bit more spicy these are top tier I wouldn't say either of these are crazy spicy like comedy show make your mouth flame but they are hot. As long as you can stand a bit of hotsauce you should be fine. Now go forth and preach the gospel of shin bowls.

Nongshim Soon Veggie Ramen is seriously so good.

Not really. Long story short, I had to go on Amazon to get nutritional information.

Beef Maruchan has a smaller serving size of 43g while Shin Black has a larger serving size of 65g.

Product|Calories|Fat|Sodium|Carbs|Protein
:--|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:
Maruchan Beef|190|7g|790mg|26g|4g
Shin Black|280|9g|920mg|43g|7g

Shin has slightly more iron and more calcium, but that's about it.

After all, they're both fried noodles with bouillon. I used to add stuff to Maruchan to give it an extra pinky, but they're both not good for you.

Lately, I've been adding dried seaweed to Shin Black for some more micronutrients.

> top ramen Chili flavor

yah like /u/blessedetherstar said, top ramen chili flavor is vegan. The one you linked has beef fat and beef extract, too.

Next time you decide to buy some ramen online, think about getting some Nongshim Ramyun Black. It's a 20th anniversary version of their popular regular soup and is by far the best instant noodle soup I have tried.

I make home forged knives. I felt that this was one of my most creative works. I made it from a railroad spike. here

Also, I love Asian food, so this would make my day or possibly my week

Amazon has it: http://www.amazon.com/Nongshim-Ramyun-Black-Noodle-Packages/dp/B0061JWQOW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1425756018&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=shin+ramyjn+black It's pretty good but probably not worth the price compared to regular Shin Ramyun IMO.

That looks like the 2x spicy ramen, it is prretty good. Not this modified version though. https://www.amazon.ca/Samyang-Roasted-Chicken-Nuclear-spiciest/dp/B01MUGP7QK

My wife is from Seoul and these are always in our pantry. As other posters have said, just a few fresh ingredients and we can forget about the days of $0.10 Maruchan ramen forever! Have you ever tried the Neoguri spicy seafood version by same company? They are really tasty as well...

https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Neoguri-Noodles-Spicy-Seafood/dp/B00OG8NZTU

nomalicious noodles

i bought this last summer, VEGGIE RAMEN

was delicious.

Personally, I quite like Nongshim's noodles. On a cold day, I'll even use the seasoning packet if I don't feel like making broth!

Setting Sunson's on the water is by far the most delicious I have come across.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MUGP7QK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1505644773&sr=8-1&keywords=spicy+noodles+2x&dpPl=1&dpID=61HUwoX7UmL&ref=plSrch

Fuck it, I'm eating all the cinnamon rolls.

I still have a half a box of these, the most delicious ramen you can get from a package, but I don't know if I really want to eat something hot right before we crash into the sun.

Oh wait, I wasn't linking that for a prize, I thought you meant something cheap to eat.

I am not smart.

Get up at 4pm. Shower, leave for work.
Lunch at work at about 7:30pm yesterday (shift starts at 5pm):
2 smoked sausages (no buns, previous co-worker accidentally ruined them) with spicy mustard and sauerkraut on them
Small bag of plain m&m's
about half of a 32oz bottle of Gatorade

Dinner at work at about 1am:
Bowl of Nongshim Shin Black ramen with a raw egg mixed in
Rest of the Gatorade

Stopped at a gas station on the way home, had "breakfast" made for me (they have a large griddle and cook all sorts of food) at about 5:30am (didn't get home until just after 6am):
2 cheeseburgers w/everything, w/pepper jack cheese, hold the onion
one order of onion rings (to put on the burger)
one order of potato wedges (eaten with ketchup)
two peppermint patties
About 80% of a 20oz bottle of Mtn Dew Code Red

Went to bed around 9am.

I eat their Shin Ramyun! It's like the primo cheap ramen.

"Way over spot?" I hope wasn't more than a buck or two over spot. Those are Sunshine mint licensed JM bars. I would have spent the money on some https://www.amazon.com/NongShim-Shin-Black-Noodle-Spicy lol.
