Haven't been able to bring myself to eat that or pot pies (.10 at the exchange at the time).<br />Janeice, I swear I thought it read WW as in world war, although I haven't thought as WW as anything but weight watchers for over a decade...Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984097652321280760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-54049076684743367632009-12-07T00:29:27.923-07:002009-12-07T00:29:27.923-07:00I still love ramen.

A year or so ago someone published a ramen cookbook. We feel like our (not that unique) idea was stolen. Or that someone actually did something about it, instead of sit around and just bullshit.<br /><br />Anyway, I love that you did this. :)Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142380580388373496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-36555912625697947912009-12-06T14:25:31.268-07:002009-12-06T14:25:31.268-07:00Also try beating an egg, then dribbling that into ...Also try beating an egg, then dribbling that into the pot while stirring. Pseudo egg drop soup. :)<br /><br />Recently I've discovered that frozen chicken tenders boil up well in it too. (Put them in first so they have time to cook before adding noodles.)<br /><br />I've actually downgraded to JUST eating Maruchan and etc. Back when I was in college, I was a connoisseur of the imports. The basic rule of thumb there: the more little packets of things it comes with, the better it tastes. Alas, also more expensive...MWThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446603415730525882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-66112936596662632272009-12-06T12:54:09.666-07:002009-12-06T12:54:09.666-07:00Hi...my name is Wendy...I'm an adult and eat R...Hi...my name is Wendy...I'm an adult and eat Ramen noodles...<br /><br />Matter of fact I stocked up on the last grocery run! <br /><br />Yep, just had some the other night as well - Maruchan Creamy Chicken (da bomb). Made a double batch and the other half will go to work with me tomorrow. I too use the drain, butter and season packet method to prepare them, from time to time throw in a handful of frozen veggies like corn or broccoli. <br /><br />I seem to remember the Campbell's Soup folks trying to enter the ramen market a while back. They claimed their product used less fat/oil in the noodles. It was ok, but they never had many flavors. Don't think it lasted too long, I haven't seen it for years.<br /><br />So I'll just stick with the 10 or so flavors of Maruchan the local Kroger & Publix stores carry.

I feel like the flavors are different, but it could just be my imagination.<br /><br />I'll keep an eye out for Sapporo Ichiban, MWT!<br /><br />What is their WW/dieting sin? Carbs?<br />They don't seem to have a lot of fat. The sodium is probably off the charts though.Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-10589876139839941602009-12-06T08:16:17.606-07:002009-12-06T08:16:17.606-07:00Maruchan is 100% the best, "Top Ramen", ...Maruchan is 100% the best, "Top Ramen", while having the advantage in brand recognition (largely based on jokes and comedians I think), but Maruchan is MUCH better.<br /><br />Also, we usually make a side dish instead of soup. Drain most of the water out (leaving a bit), and put half the season packet in. Mix well, and you have a flavorful pan of noodles that sits on a plate well. :)<br /><br />Yes, now that I'm dieting, Ramen is no longer on the menu. Someday...

I haven't had any since yesterday. And I just grab whichever one is on the shelf at the store I'm in. They're all fine (including the Sapporo Ichiban).<br /><br />Top Ramen has a "Spicy Chili" flavor that's kinda <em>GAK</em>, but most of the other flavors are o.k. Actually, other than the color, the flavors are pretty much interchangeable. They're just varying levels of salt as far as I can tell.<br /><br />And I call them all "Meat Soup". Cut up whatever leftover is in the fridge and chuck some in while it's boiling. Leftover veggies too.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-61758607015246014712009-12-06T00:42:25.066-07:002009-12-06T00:42:25.066-07:00Top Ramen noodles also dissolve into mush if you d...Top Ramen noodles also dissolve into mush if you don't eat them fast enough. Thus, Maruchan for me too. <br /><br />Although, if you can find Sapporo Ichiban anywhere, that's better than Maruchan (IMHO).MWThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446603415730525882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-17289862890416046312009-12-05T22:04:06.847-07:002009-12-05T22:04:06.847-07:00Hmmm... that sounds interesting!
