So what do you guys add that makes cheap ramen not taste horrible?

I need to eat more of it because it is cheap and will kill you in short order if you eat it all the time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915590
i usually add slices of boiled egg just to add some more taste, but even without egg it taste delicious

if you dont like ramen and you dont have much money, dig on the chinese cuisine, which is cheap, delicious and not unhealthy.

This image is getting overused.

I used to think it was delicious until I stopped eating it. I didn't have it for a year or two and then had a bowl a few months ago. It was awful.

That image gave me a vomiting fetish. This image gave me a drug fetish. She's so cute. I would clean up her vomit and crush up her pills if she wanted me to. Afterward, when she's in a drug-induced stupor, I would help her as much as I could. I'd carry her to her bed and watch over her. I'd read her a book, sing her a song, and watch a movie with her.

Boiled egg, kamaboko, wakame, and green onions usually.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915602
I never liked wakame,

i tried to put a boiled wurstel like tontantin did, but ended up that the weiner tasted like nothing, next time i'll try tuna

Pretty much this.

And you'll start to think most restaurant meals aren't that tasty once you start cooking for yourself

to be honest, i never liked restaurant meals, even when i never tried instant ramen

I dont know, probably my mouth has shitty taste, but i love it.

[Anonymous No.]

remember the first time you had instant ramen and it actually smelled appetizing?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915663
nope.
first time i saw and smelled ramen i thought it was shit, then i ate it and changed my mind immediately, i remember a friend brought that to me

The trick to enjoying instant ramen is getting it from a country you're not used to.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915678
now i see...

i live in italy and i had (and have) for years and years only italian cooking. Probably my mouth should taste different cultures instead of being closed minded.

[Anonymous No.]

They're alright on their own, but they can be made awesome by adding stuff to them. I've had great success with various spices (black pepper by itself is actually really fucking good), hot sauces, other sauces (such as hoisin), and bacon bits (those cheap bacon-flavored err... I think they're soy pieces, that you usually put on salads).

[Anonymous No.]

I don't actually think it tastes any good, I also do away with the brooth most of the time since it always turns out pretty gross.
I still like to eat because it's dirt cheap, though.

More like, quit it with the Top Ramen and try the dodgy looking Singapore or Philippines brand.

This is true, if you know how to shop you can get yourself pasta and oatmeal (probably bread too) and have some nice variety going on. Hell if you splurge on some nice cheese and make cool cheese sauces for your cheap pasta, you'll actually come to enjoy it. It's surprisingly easy to make unbelievably good pasta.

I know it is. Yet, it really seemed appropriate here.

I am older than most here and goddamn ramen noodles. I am so sick of those fucking things. Sadly I have to still eat them from time to time so some help making them better would be greatly appreciated.

[Anonymous No.]

I like it. To tell the truth I can't cook very well, so I can't even get ramen completely right. I always under cook it because otherwise too much water gets in and then I don't like it as much.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915711
you think someone like me uses a computer to look up cheap recopies? Come on man, it is purely for fap material and buying useless shit.
I do need to eat better, but is there really a cheaper meal than like 25 cents? shit, you buy in bulk it is less than that...

[Anonymous No.]

Since when are instant noodles cheap? You can buy more canned food for less and it's healthier. The same goes for vegetables and meat if you have a (big) freezer.

[Anonymous No.]

I didn't like it, I tried a few brands and flavors but just couldn't get into it.

Then one day starving n my floor I found a packet in drawer, too hungry to cook it I just opened it up and started gnawing at the brick.

Never looked back. For those who don't like ramen try eating it raw, it worked for me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915780
you are under the impression that we can feed our selves properly

also, canned goods got dat sodium yo. Not as healthy as you think.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915780
A great deal of the weight of canned food is water weight. For the price of one tin of corned beef or a small can of corn, you could get three to six packets of ramen.

Although for pure caloric density I suppose you could end up just eating mayonnaise out of a jar, but that's nasty.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915780

A pack of instant noodles costs me 68 cents per bag.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915793
If you smash it up into tiny pieces and pour the seasoning into it, it's pretty much just a bag of chips. So yea, it would be strange of you not to like it.

[Anonymous No.]

This is what I live on.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915794
It's not my problem if you are too stupid to heat something up. And sodium? instant noodles are full of that (and nothing else).

[Ronove !g3.DtWX/rc No.]

Well, when Im in the mood I cut some veggies and throw them in there. You can add different spices to keep it interesting. I could literrally eat this for weeks.

[Arcueid Brunestud !ARCIkc4cG6 No.]

This is concentrated silliness.

Where is the Oatmeal? Oatmeal is the superior food.

If you are smart you will even buy one where you don't need a can opener.

Nothing complements a bowl of noodles better.

[Anonymous No.]

In terms of being edible (unlike, say, surviving solely of butter rations) and cheap, I think flour flapjacks are cheaper than ramen, even with a little bit of butter and sugar syrup on the side.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915839
This, I fucking lived off that shit when I was homeless spending the last of my very little money. Oatmeal helps too, but it just doesn't go as far/taste as good.

If you have the money and time you can bake a shit ton of bread if you buy all the ingredients in bulk for VERY little money.

[Necrobrotent No.]

I've recently wondered away from ramen noodles making my own broth and gravy bases and adding it to white rice with variantions of vegetables and meat is more filling and easier to store for later.

Though just chicken or Salisbury gravy on white rice is delicious.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915816
you kidding? ramen is full of fat and all kinds of other shit.

A can of vegetables is healthier, but not quite as much as you think, and they even cost more. A lot of people here have no food budget. On the positive side, even if we get SSI, we will still die young.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915848
I never had to watch my cash like that myself, but now I know how to do it if I have to. Pound for pound I guess bulk flour is just ten times cheaper than ramen.

It's cocaine in the seasoning, I'm sure of it.

When I was little, my sister showed me how to cook ramen by boiling the noodles till soft, then frying them in a pan with soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and a bit off beef bullion or a bit of the flavor pack. I started eating it again lately out of nostalgia, but when I told her I still eat it, she laughed at me!

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915876
I dont understand, whats so funny in eating noodles?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915859
20g full of fat and other kinds of shit are still 20g at best. And most of that other shit is useless flavouring. Just calculate how much you pay per gram and then tell me it's cheap compared to canned food, fresh food bought in bulk or some frozen food.

If you buy food to survive (obviously, you aren't), then instant noodles cost you more than most other food for less benefits.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915862
nope, because if you have to cook flour to make pasta you waste a lot of time,you could get a part time job instead

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915897
She thought it was funny I still did such simple / cheap cooking instead of something more "grown up". Especially when I said I sometimes chopped up hot dogs or other stuff and put them in.

Ramen may be $1.50 a pound while carrots are fifty cents, but a pound of carrots contains under 200 calories while a pound of ramen contains around 2000.

Calories don't turn magically into vitamins, trace elements, carbohydrates and all the other necessary stuff. The charts with calories also list all that other stuff which should be inside the 2000 calories in a healthy meal. And when you can buy a pound carrots for 50 cent, then you have 1 more dollar for other stuff, which means probably 3 more pounds of all the stuff that is missing. So, 1.5 dollar will give you food for at least 2-3 days.

Also that pound ramen is probably just the noodles. Not with the vegetables you add to it (uhh... like Carrots). I don't think you are going to eat a pound raw noodles in a day.

And you can get a pound noodles for 1 dollar or less (30 cent).

Ramen isn't a cheap way to survive, your friends may think that and even you, but it's just crappy food and it's overpriced for what is inside.

[Anonymous No.]

I tried eating nothing but carrots once to save money. I took a shit that night and it was all orange pulp. I wouldn't suggest it unless you're doing it to show off.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6915983
I want to say again, in case somebody understood wrong, I'm talking solely about instant noodles when considered as cheap food for survival, because it's a myth which goes around everywhere in highschool and student circles.

If you eat it because you like the taste and how easy it is to prepare, then I couldn't care less. But if you eat it to survive, then you should switch fast, because the only thing you will gain from it is a headache and malnutrition.

The only reason it's so popular is because it's so easily accessible.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6916013
only stupid people would try to live on instant noodles. they're only good because they're cheap, taste decent, and only take 4 minutes to make.

[None !.WizaRd4us No.]

I live off rice and fish or chicken. A bag of long grain rice goes for pretty cheap, and lasts a long time. Fish is a bit more expensive, but frying it is much easier than having to fuck around with frozen chicken in the oven.

I'll probably die of mercury poisoning in my mid 30's.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6916067
Fish is good for you, unless you're getting shady brands of tuna, then you don't need to worry about mercury poisoning. Also, try pan frying chicken with some oil. It tastes good and is easy enough. Just cook it at just below medium depending on your stove, so it won't burn.

A lot of eskimos up here in Alaska mix the two. If you ever get ahold of some moose meat somehow, I suggest it heavily.

Raw eggs while cooking the noodles so that the eggs cook on the noodles.

I also typically add either brown sugar or hot sauce or soy sauce and whatever vegetables and meat I have lying around.
