I'm super hungry today and wanted a ramen, but I didn't want to eat an entire ramen.
So I cut it in half. Used half of the "sauce" and ate it.
Satisfied and guilt free!
I shall eat the other half tomorrow.
You might also enjoy...
-
Haha. I think I'd end up just making the second half after finishing the first. Or I'd eat it dry. I used to do that as a kid.
-
The real question is: did you crack half an egg into your half-ramen?
Just kidding, of course you used a full egg... right???
-
Ramen is contraband in our house... but every now and then I break down and buy a single package. Full ramen, full egg... I feel guilty just thinking about it.
-
@mrbee: OMG. HAHA. I did use half an egg.. only used the egg white. lol
-
@tina: There's a ramen called HooRooRook. It's not fried and it "healthy." Only 300 calories for the entire thing! Saved my life when I was pregnant!
-
@chopsuey119: wow, just the egg white and half the ramen... you are so disciplined!!
I will have to check out hooroorook! I hope our Hmart carries it!
-
@chopsuey119: Wait, wth? What did you do with the egg yolk??
-
@mrbee: I tossed it.
ahh waster! @tina: Our Hmart carries it so I'm sure yours will too!
-
Wait, you're supposed to put an egg in your ramen too? How do you do it? Do you cook it first, or does it cook in the broth? I've never used half the noodle pack, but I usually use only about 3/4 of the "sauce". It makes me feel like I'm being vaguely healthy since I'm cutting down on the salt.
-
@chopsuey119: wow... my mom would kill you for doing that!
-
@skibobrown: You don't have to, but it makes it SO much better. You put the egg in after the noodles go in. Eggs cook in the soup.
@mrbee: HAHA. We're a family of yolk tossers.
-
@chopsuey119: Do you mix the egg in with the soup like egg drop soup? ...or do you let it cook on top to make more of a fried egg floating on top of the soup? I have so much to learn...
-
@skibobrown: I just throw the egg in with the soup base and it cooks in the boiling water. Sometimes I'll stir it, sometimes I won't-- I like the solid parts of yolk
I also use about 3/4 of the soup packet..... Sometimes i'll throw in 2 eggs -
I also didn't know about putting egg in. Now I have to go buy some and try it!
I would make the whole thing and save the rest in the fridge if I didn't eat it all.
-
@artbee: I've never put an egg in it either! ah! must try
-
mmm sapporo lamyun wouldn't mind some of that right now.
-
I used to always make the 1/2 pack because I couldn't eat the whole thing.
Now I don't know how I ever did that! -
ahh. back in my ramen heyday (aka college), i'd only eat a half-ramen... if i ever found it that way in the pantry, left-over from my health-conscious housemates. I'd just add it to my full one. 1.5 packages of ramen actually makes a pretty nice portion.
and yes @mrbee. 2 whole eggs, every time. I raised to never seperate... cholesterol-cholschmesterol. I started the yolk-separating thing when i started making eggs for Junior.
-
When I eat ramen I only make half a pack.
-
Wait wait wait!! You CUT it in half? Which way did you half it?
-
I have never thought of doing that. It is way too small! Was it a snack?
-
@pastemoo: it breaks naturally only one way... it's kinda freaky actually!
-
@mrbee: Exactly, that's what I mean. So, I crack it in half by hand. Seems like cutting it in half would be a different thing. But I'm weird, so they could mean the same thing.
-
@pastemoo: I think the real takeaway from this thread is you should just eat the whole darn ramen.
-
@mrbee: LOL. Thanks. What about the ramen that's already in a cup?
-
@pastemoo: That is not real ramen. That is Cup Noodles.
-
@pastemoo: it's a circle!
-
@mrbee: And restaurant ramen?
-
@chopsuey119: You have different ramen! What planet do you buy your ramen on?
-
@pastemoo: really? most korean ramens are round!
-
@pastemoo: I am getting the feeling you are not taking ramen seriously.
-
@mrbee: I take ramen very seriously. I used to eat it raw as a snack in elementary school. But I, apparently, have never bought Korean ramen.
-
I don't think I have the self control to just eat half!
-
Chinese ramen is not round!
-
@Andrea: Pots are round so you'd think all ramen would be round, no? Japanese ramens aren't all round either.
-
@chopsuey119: that makes NO sense. That would mean you think all food should be round to cook in round pots! Do you have a fever, too?
-
@Andrea: LOL! Dood. It's such a pain cooking square ramen in small pots! We have a special "ramen" pot that's the perfect size. I tried cooking a square ramen in it and .. no bueno.
-
@chopsuey119: ok, ok! i get it now. good thing korean ramen is round for you then!
-
@Andrea:
ahh waster!
