Nissin, but you gotta get the Demae Ramen, not that Top Ramen shit.
BEHOLD
A limited edition Maruchan ceramic cup, as proof of my allegiance.
I’m actually boiling some noodles rn XD.
Ah yes, lets name the spaghetti after body parts
Everybody ought to have two boxes of spare elbows. You never know.
Also the only spaghetti here were named, you guessed it, spaghetti. So I’m’a sure you’ra keeping youra spaghetties in your panties, eh?
Yes, together with my’a two pieces of gnocci. Would you’a lika somee sauce with that?
Not deep fried in vegetable oil or lard and much healthier for you while costing less afaik.
I can’t usually taste differences in brand like that anyway, so whatever is cheaper.
This type of instant ramen is the example that economics professors use of an inferior good.
inferior goods are those goods the demand for which falls with increase in income of the consumer
At least, that was the example that my professor used when I went to college. I suspect that a lot of cheap instant ramen is eaten on college campuses even to this day.
So, the point is that you’re stating what I think is the right way of looking at this. A big part of the reason people buy this is that they aren’t making much money, so naturally, they’d want to buy the cheaper one, as well.
I don’t buy that though. Wife and I ate a LOT of ramen in university. Now our kids love it and we buy entire cases at a time for them. I still like it every now and again, it’s nostalgic. For the record we’re WAY better off now than when dirt poor in university.
Do you buy nicer ramen? There are some pretty tasty options now.
Nope. They’re good but not the same. Kind of like when you just want McDonalds.
top ramen? definitely the top ramen in my “won’t ever buy” list
It’s cheap noodles! And 5mg of chicken bouillon. Mix it with a splash of soy, fish sauce, 5ml sambal olek, and 30mg of peanut butter for a simple peanut noodle that feeds one in 5 minutes quite cheap. Use take out soy sauce packets (one packet) and a fast food hot sauce sachet instead of sambal for an even cheaper meal option.
If ever you need a fast and cheap option to start a meal idea, Top Ramen should be at the top of the list.
For me that meal was one can of tuna, one can of baked beans and one spoon chilli paste. Everything in one casserole and boil. Add pasta, noodles or bread for more carbs
but all of that is literally amazing… with maruchan.
Yum Yum or Mama
Mama spicy Tom yum is in my top 3, it’s so good
As far as instant ramen is concerned, I prefer that black Korean stuff that tastes like hoisin sauce and green onion (forgot what it’s called but you know the one).
But between these two, I like Maruchan’s slightly thinner noodles better. The chicken flavor is comfort food that takes me back to childhood. The chili lime with shrimp flavor is fire too.
I really like the Picante Chicken and Chili flavors Maruchan has.
Maruchan Beef with powdered garlic and onion added.
Pork for me.
Maruchan chili flavor or get the fuck out.
Maruchan for sure
Mama brand creamy shrimp tom yum flavor. The best!
MARUCHAN 4 LIFE
Maruchan, without question.
In Norway SamYang Buldak spicy seems to be all the rage. Spicy as fuck tho’
Reading this thread I went to the asian market and got the Nongahim Shin Premium Black. Will test that later
Buldak 2x spicy and the habanero lime flavours are my go to! Love them!
Also love these:
habanero lime
France is a bit too traditional regarding food, so hot foods and things like habanero lime are rarities. People here think that tabasco is extra hot. But it’s not about the hotness, but there are some actually tasty sauces that aren’t sold here (they can be found online after much searching) because they are hot, or mildly hot.
Ah well, there’s still an immense wealth of food, and we actually know how to use it, so it’s not bad, but there’s bits that are seemingly like “off limits”. Like, no, this is what wild people eat.

Sounds like you should start growing your own hot peppers! That’s what I’ve been doing the past 2 years. I love it!
I’m not in a place where it’s easy to grow fruit. I don’t get enough sun for that. But it’s ok, I finally found some tasty sauces, off the beaten path.
The nongshim premium black is great. they have a bone broth version that’s even better
Any leads on the green pack? Why’d they disappear? Perfect level of spice.
Thats the vegetable one? https://www.asianfood.no/nongshim-soon-veggie-ramyun-20x112g
Meant samyang. Packaging looks odd in link.
I truly don’t care, give me either one
