OK, I've tried frying ramen soooo many times in the past and always wind up with an inedible greasy gelatinous mush ball of echh. Tried adding less oil, tried lower heat, tried different types of pans. Nothing ever works. It's like cooking eggs without them sticking to the pan. Everyone says it's possible, but I'll be dammed if I can make it happen.

Hahaha...

Secret to Chinese Stirfry .. Super high heat... Short cooking time..

This way.. the noodles gain the fry-scent, without drying out in its center..

Incidentally, it is also speculated that the high rate of lung cancer in non-smoking Asian house-wives is precisely due to the inhalation of grease smoke due to traditional high-heat cooking method..

---but, you don't gotta worry about that, as long as you don't become a house-wife..

yea boiled egg is good..

I actually prefer over-boiled egg when it comes to ramen.. because I think that sulfur scent complements the MSG in the noodles.. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/hehe-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862507)

The sacrifices one makes for this hobby...

Yea I actually thought about making some real ramen.. but the problem is.. I don't think you can actually fry up too many batches in the deep fryer.. because the oil gets black quite quickly..

Truth. Real ramen, and I mean real as in they use generational broth and cook it for days with the best and most delicately prepared ingredients. Only had it once in California and that **** was $40 a bowl(one person bowl, a big bowl though) but man, so worth it.
