We have different definitions of the word 'fun'.    :-X :-X

:P

I guess we do, but in all honesty it does taste great  :thumb:

I haven't boiled noodles in ages.

I soak them in cold water, then stir fry the soft but uncooked noodles with some veggies and possibly some tofu if I have some. Whisk the spice/broth/MSG pack with some starch (flour) and water and add that late as sauce to thicken it all at lower heat. I also spice it with ginger and soy sauce. This serves two.
As veggies go, I love Pok Choi but that is only available in Asian food stores.

That's how an adult would ramen..... It also significantly decreases the amount of ramen consumed given the rather large increase in prep time..

The processed foods is all chemicals, toxic chemicals.

Can it be done, yes, if you read about what those chemicals do to you, you won't ever touch the stuff and laugh at those that do.

You can always make REAL noodles, you know, the authentic kind that are WORTH enjoying from a real artisan noodle maker. Not this cardboard garbage they manufacture in an industrial processing plant.

Want some more MSG with those ramens? How about some Herbicide and Agent Orange (Enlist Duo).

Sheesh.

But she isn't in front of me eating noodles.

I'm not really one to fall for tv advertising, not in the least. :)

Question everything!


You gotta get good noodles man, I'm talking other-dimension Space Dandy noodles.

I know all about noodles...

but the healthier ones take longer to cook vs Instant..


Instant noodle-addiction is a combination of  quick-gratification + deliciousness

Very tough to kick the habit..

we own a vintage pasta press. It's quite nice. Making your own pasta isn't too hard, but often the store bought stuff is just as good.

"question everything: fear nothing but ignorance" was the motto of my high school.

If only it were more convenient. Now delivery food, that's the way to go!
