*Pours a cup of Ramen Noodles for our homie* :(

It was my poor-grad-student diet at the University of Hawaii. Shrimp flavor.

Sad.

I really like ramen, too. I will have some for lunch tomorrow in his honor. I like to mix a little hoisin sauce in mine.

I had the beef flavor earlier this week... how sad. I lived on Ramen my freshman year.

I skip the flavor packet and just put butter and parmesan cheese on mine.. or spaghetti sauce for a very quick spaghetti. I still love Ramen noodles. RIP

Ugh, I tried but I couldn't. Shrimp, puke.

Try this; beef ramen with steak seasoning.

Also, I pour most of the water out so I get more flavour and less drip. God I love ramen.

Thank you Ramen...
 

Oh wow. I STILL like Ramen noodles and remember "souping" it up with some chicken mcnuggets to get a full meal. lol I had the spicy chicken today too. The spicy flavors are off the hook.

Man, Ramen noodles have been a staple in my poor life for so long...RIP to the man who helped me have cheap meals.

Chicken mushroom flavor, drain the water, add butter, italian seasoning, mushrooms and parmesan. Yum.

RIP.

A sad day for poor college students.

Thank you for everything you have given to us :o May you rest in peace...

I've never had Ramen that I know of. Oh well.. the world has lost a great man, etc., etc.

So I walked into a co-worker's cubicle today and see two cases of Ramen sitting on her chair. I say "You know the guy who invented those died this weekend?" She laughs and says "Is this a setup for a punchline?" and I said "No! He really did die this weekend". Then she tells me that she has two cases of them because her daughter asked for them for Christmas and nobody got them for her, but then another co-worker saw them on sale.. 2 cases for $4, so she picked them up for the gal's daughter. The daughter is 6 years old and asked for Ramen noodles for Christmas.. what a hoot!

I'll have to try this someday! It sounds yummy!

It's funny because I know of many children that age who will only eat Ramen. I thought it was just in my local culture that kids were like that (consider it our PB&J or Mac N Cheese, if you will).

These days, I try not to eat it so much because of their use of palm oil in the noodles (one of the worst type of oils you can use in your food, IMO) and MSG (in the soup base). But hey, when you're broke and there's nothing left but ramen packages, who cares about your arteries, right? ;)

RIP Top Ramen Noodle dude


thanks for feeding me in college :(

may he rest in peace.

i love ramen, especially beef flavor with cut up hot dogs.

His legacy lives on! I might be having some tonight. What I wouldnt give for the ones that come in a cup? That's the bomb :p

Aw man. RIP Ramen Noodle Man. :( I think I'll eat some this week, especially because I'm broke right now. My daughter and the kids I babysit love them anyway.

In college it was always my dream to write a ramen noodle cookbook--I guess I should have just come to GC!

I hardly ever eat the soup--just the noodles. In college, I would mix the noodles with cream of mushroom soup and a little water for more of a "casserole" style.

RIP Ramen Man. Thanks for keeping me full over winter vacations when the cafeteria was closed.

the dorm i lived in freshman year did an "iron chef: ramen" competition in the dorm kitchenette every semester. some pretty interesting and gross things came from it, i hear.
