GAF. It's once again time to discuss a topic as old as man himselfj. A debtate for the ages that revolves around our favorite quick meal born from a combination of unhealthy ingredients and so much Sodium it makes you wonder if just filling the cup with salt and eating that wouldn't be the healthier alternative.

What are the best instant noodles.

My nomination are whatever these are called:

Really tasty and with my ideal amount of spiciness: Enough so you actually feel it but not so spciy that it's like "omg I can't eat this"


Well GAF, what are your choices?

 

[Jme]

Shin Ramyun all day long if we are going widely available and affordable
Or Shin Ramyun Black

 

[Ninja Dom]

What country are you in? I live in London, England and these noodles are just so, so tasty!! They're the very best I've come across in London. Also try the Tom Yam flavour but it's the Stir Fry flavour specifically that are so beaut.

You don't actually make them with a soup. Cook the noodles, drain the water, add the flavour sachets and mix in. Delicious!!

Those are aight but

Nisshin just started doing instant yakisoba in the UK - both the classic (yellow top) and teriyaki (green top) are pretty damn nice.

 

[Ratrat]

Honestly, instant noodles suck. Most non-Japanese stuff tend to be pretty bad.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Sapporo Ichiban chicken flavor

 

[J-Roderton]

Shin Ramyum all day.

 

[dity]

this stuff

 

[neoanarch]

2ND for Shin Black. ABSOLUTELY DELICOUS.

Honestly, instant noodles suck.

The gods of destruction of both the 6th and 7th universes disagree

 

[Sakura]

I was quite fond of these.

 

[Lyonaz]

All the Indomie flavours are great but this is the GOAT.

 

[sfedai0]

Sapporo Ichiban or Nissin Demae Ramen. Add the seasoning packet in while you cook the noodles, then drain the water out and eat.

 

[Chuckie]

All the Indomie flavours are great but this is the GOAT.

My wife always eats this one. I don't really like it. For me Noodle soup > 'Fried' noodles.

This stuff gets kinda gross after a few outings. The first time was great but its just way too salty.

 

[Ninja Dom]

I'm actually eating a pack of these as we speak. I have to add seasoning, chilli sauce and pepper plus an egg! Otherwise they can be pretty bland.

 

[LocknessMobster]

This is my fav but i would like to try some of those ones above.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Naked Noodles are my favourite at the moment.

Japanese curry rice on saturday. Leftover curry mixed into super noodles on Sunday. Yum

 

[Rug Monkey]

Love Stovetop Udon. Sukiyaki Mmmmmm

 

[Rootbeer]

came here to say shin black, but it's already been mentioned so...

the reason why I like it is because it's available almost everywhere that sells noodles. I'm sure there are better ones, but their availability is way more lacking. and instant noodles are about convenience!

For me, a good instant noodle not only has fine noodles and broth, but some veggies or other add-ins (some have dried meat or seafood even) already in the container, and shin gives you a good amount.

 

[TI82]

I've tried a lot of the ones posted so far, maruchan picante chicken still the best.

 

[Sakura]

Love Stovetop Udon. Sukiyaki Mmmmmm

These are pretty good too!
But I'm not really sure if I would consider them actually instant noodles.

 

[Morat]

I mean, they are instant noodles but this is about as good ass it gets. Add a bit of spring onion or a couple of mushrooms and you have something approaching nutritious

 

[Rootbeer]

their kimchi bowl is good, but doesn't taste like kimchi to me. I still like it. and the spicy chicken. but who am I kidding, i'd eat any of them.

 

[Ratrat]

Love Stovetop Udon. Sukiyaki Mmmmmm

Thats not instant...

This is okay.

 

[TI82]

Nongshim Blue Bowl is super good too

 

[ChryZ]

Shin Ramyun /thread

 

[mrklaw]

Thats not instant...

This is okay.

La-oh is the best.

 

[pitchfork]

 

[Kamaji]

None i've tasted have been good. Then again i've only been in contact with the basic one's in non-asian supermarkets.

Anyone have an idea on where to get myojo chukazanmai in Europe?

I read about them here (http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/09/taste-test-fancy-pants-instant-ramen-from-myo.html) and would love to try them out.

 

[Puruzi]

no joke I could live off it

 

[rrvv]

Indomie for me. Unless if I want cup noodle then I go to shin rambunctious

This stuff gets kinda gross after a few outings. The first time was great but its just way too salty.

Decreased the seasoning

 

[grumpy]

Vitasia instant curry noodles from Lidl. Just £0,18. If you throw in some veggies it almost tastes like real food.

 

[operon]

These are the business can't eat pot noodles any more because of how good they are

 

[JMTHEFOX]

The one that started it all.

 

[dity]

That's one fancy-ass container. Sign me up.

 

[ph1l0z0ph3r]

So how does one get into these higher up ramen brands? I eat regular ramen and its good but wouldn't mind getting into the better stuff

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Easily Shin Ramyun hot & spicy

 

[Visualante2]

Like Shin Ramyun but it's very strong. Have to be in the mood for that. My go to is the Indo Mie vegetable version. Then the curry Koka noodles. My local asian market has a good selection but most aren't labelled as vegetarian friendly. With so many having fish powder in them I don't experiment much. Any tips?

Shin Ramyun spicy > Indo Mie vegetable noodle >> Koka curry flavour >>> Pot Noodle beef and tomato >>>> Bachelors vegetarian options suck >>>>>> Flavourless store brand trash like Tesco, Lidl or Sainsburys

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Nothing beats Koka noodles. They are the best.

[Concrete Charlie]

I've only tried the Maruchan Ramen, chicken or beef. I need to step up my game. Will explore some of the more exotic aisles of the grocery store next trip.
