As I prepare to make myself a pack of the cheapest and yet most tastey college food out there, I want to know what your thoughts on Ramen are! I've heard from some people (okay 1) that don't like it, but his opinion doesn't count (I mean he's obviously criminally insane), but everyone else I know loves the stuff. If you don't cherish the sacred Men of Ra, I must know why, and if you do, then I ask this: How is it so good but so fucking cheap?!

Nice.. :D
I love how Ramen experiences the phenomenon of reverse inflation, you can now get 6, and depending on sales as many as 10, for 1 dollar! WooT! ;)

I eat a lot of ramen that I buy at Asian markets. Kimchi Bowl Noodle = the best.

there is a great chain of ramen resturants called Ezo Giku. There used to be one in Seattle but it closed. It was the best ramen i have ever had.
Now, there are no good Ramen specialty shops in Seattle. I think cheap ramen kinda ruined the market for it. Lots of Pho. but no Ramen.

Pho is the broth right? *vaguely remembers Pho being Vietnamese for soup*
I didn't even know there were resturants that carried Ramen!! I always just thought Ramen was basically a cheap version of real oriental noodles.. Man I wish I could hit up one of those places!
Btw.. Seattle kicks SO much ass! My dad and I took a trip to there and Vancouver last fall, and man were both cities great! Seattle just had so much culture to it, I loved Pike's Market and the EMP project (I went to both twice on a three day trip!) ;)

Ramen Noodles make up 50% of my weekly food intake.
I've found that the best way to make your noodles the most flavourful is to use less water. Case in point - when cooking two packages of noodles, use about 1 and 1/4 cups of water, rather than four. This makes it to where the noodles have just enough water to be soft, and just enough dryness not to be completely soggy. After the noodles are nice and soft, pour out most (not all mind you) of the remaining water, then quit cooking. Then add the flavor packets and mix. Enjoy! It's mighty tasty.

I never usually apply that much care to the process of making ramen. :D I always just put some water in a pan, throw the noodles in, boil till soft, then drain most of the water and add flavor packets! Voila~

How healthy is Ramen for you? I'm a broke ass college student but I worry that Ramen just doesn't cut it nutritiously.

i don't have picture posting capabilities, but soba is a japanese noodle thats made of buckwheat and is quite healthy. a fundamental part of nearly every meal there apparently.

I barely cover the noodles in water, put in the microwave for 3 minutes, put the flavor packet in, stir, and then pour out all the water and eat.
