    I separate my noodles as fast as I can , and then eat some noodles and drink the broth right after. So that the noodles donā€™t get soggy and the broth doesnā€™t get cold.
    I do it all wrong.

    It honestly depends on my mood if I want just the noodles or the noodles with the broth. I really like Rice Ramen because I find the noodles are a little thinner then other brands and easier to slurp. I think I just really like thin noodles and pasta in general.

    Hot dishes sounds really weird to me not gonna lie šŸ˜‚

    Burger King in Leicester Square (in London next to Piccadilly Circus) is completely vegan until the 10th April 2022! If there was ever a time to drop everything and run to London, this is it! šŸ˜€

    I grew up eating ramen raw (yes, as in uncooked) as a snack. If I ever ate it cooked, I never did the broth. I never read the directions because I just "learned" how to cook ramen from my older siblings. I actually did not know that ramen was supposed to be in a broth until after college, when I began working with Japanese — and I finally read the directions, haha. That's also when I discovered soba (much better, imo, and I thus no longer eat ramen). I still cook ramen for my hub, always sans broth. I usually reserve the flavor packets (from the top ramen soy sauce flavored) for sprinkling on veggies. I highly recommend pan frying ramen (that's been softened, like in a 30-min water soak, and then drained) & then adding Ā½ jar (or a full jar, depending on how much ramen youre using) that the flavor packet (or packets) has been mixed into. I say it's a "ramen omelette" (but there could be another word for it — I just came up with it years back, though I'm sure others have cooked similar before).

    I love one called "Mike's Mighty Good" vegetarian kimchi ramen. There may be something hidden non-vegan in there, but it is so good! I make it juicy and pimp it up with some tofu and veggies. Then top with a tad of tahini to make it creamy. It's so tasty, spicy with "clean" ingredients and just perfect. Please do not tell me if this is NOT vegan. I just bought 3 dozen pkgs online, you can tell me after I finish them.

    Indomie mi goreng is my all time favorite (even pre-vegan) & the GOAT of instant noodles – it would definitely be right up Andrewā€™s alley since itā€™s a dry noodle. Nongshim recently made a vegan version of their popular spicy Shin ramen that is a close second for me.

    Try all the accidentally vegan ones ! U gotta go to like HMart and get the real Asian brands. Thereā€™s a bunchā€¦especially now. Thereā€™s the ā€œsoonā€ I think itā€™s called and it says vegan and comes in green packaging. I saw they came out with some other flavors but havenā€™t gotten my hands on them yet since Iā€™m in FL for now & canā€™t find an Hmart anywhere šŸ˜©

    Ok, oceans halo chicken flavor is my favorite But you do have to doctor it up hood style, ok. I add more water than recommended, because of the fact that the noodles soak up a lot of the water. 2. Throw some vegan butter in that thang, ok!! 3. I add black pepper, garlic and onion powder, & paprika. And boom! Chefs kiss! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

    Growing up I would eat my ramen ā€œbone dryā€ but now I actually like the broth – just not too much that the noodles are swimming. Yā€™all are so fun to watch. The best line of the video – ā€œWhoā€™s Tomā€? šŸ˜†

    Oh man the soy sauce Top Ramen took me back to high school. Also, if you do more taste tests these are my recommendations:

    Muso Organics – Miso and Shoyu* are the flavors they have. This ramen is in a light brown packet and says vegan right on the front. I get it at Wegmans, but I think itā€™s at some WholeFoods as well. On the pricey side but itā€™s a big serving.

    Koyo Ramen makes really good noodles and they have a bunch of different flavors. As far as Iā€™m aware their entire line is vegan. I get it from a local grocery store chain, but itā€™s available in select Walmarts and WholeFoods.

    Sun Noodle Ramen Kit – has different flavors, but I know the miso and shoyu kind are vegan. Itā€™s not an instant ramen – in fact itā€™s found in the refrigerator/freezer sections at WholeFoods or Wegmans – but itā€™s really good. The noodles have a slight eggy taste, but itā€™s just baking soda. Iā€™ve made homemade noodles in the past with baking soda and I was surprised that it tasted that way. I can assure you their noodles are vegan, even if it doesnā€™t seem like it.

    *Shoyu = Japanese soy sauce

    Ok shockingly Iā€™m with Andrew on this one. Iā€™ve always prepared them by cooking the noodles and draining 95% of the water and sprinkling a portion of the seasoning packet on them. Technically itā€™s a version of ā€œdry noodlesā€ even though they are moist. The difference is they arenā€™t SOUP Noodles. Thatā€™s also why you canā€™t use the whole seasoning packet that comes with a soup noodle (ramen typically is soup) because itā€™s meant for all the broth. Lo mein is a dry noodle. Ramen is a soup noodle. Iā€™m 100% dry noodle and will NEVER slurp, even if Iā€™m visiting a country where itā€™s ok. Itā€™s not ok with me lol.
