I love ramen noodles.


Funny, I still have 1 or 2 bowl EXACTLY like that from the first time I was in Japan.

I've been eating them since 1978 when my dad was stationed in northern Japan. We had never seen or had ramen before, and they sold them pretty much the same as they do today, in the styrofoam cups where you add hot/boiling water and let them sit for a few mins. There was a little more in them back then, small chunks of meat, scrambled egg, veggies and these things (pink and white thing, no idea what it is)


We thought that they were so tasty, and neat that we bought about 10 cases of them at the commissary and sent each set of relatives a case.

To this day, I still love ramen.

So, besides it being high in sodium and super cheap, do you like ramen, and which is your favorite? Do you add stuff to the package when you're making it?

I like spicy food, but I'm not a fan of the various Americanized flavors of ramen, especially the spicy flavors.
