Ramen

[Immolate]

how do u cook ur ramen?

tonight i am putting some chuck steak in my ramen with some okra. last night my gal gave me a package of steak she didnt want because she's a ocd gal.

gonna put some tobasco in there. some onion powder & some garlic.

what u do

[uh-oh]

im not a PEASANT

buy real pasta

[Immolate]

i have eaten a turkey that would cost $200+ to buy for the past week

i am not a peasant either but ramen is a good base to throw stuff on top of like bone broth with carrots, etc. sodium is good for you, as long as ur not eating like 5+ ramens a day, sodium is pretty lacking in our normal diet. at least in mine, which is all natural.

[uh-oh]

my diet is abysmal. never lacking in sodium tho shouts to my blood pressure

but word i enjoy ramen noodles for what they are, i just never got into actually using them with anything else cuz they just seem cheap and shitty so i'd just make like two packs at a time and house them

chicken and beef strictly tho.

but if im making chicken id rather make some rice a roni or even some garbage pre mix noodle type deal

Sounds like you haven't tasted proper ramen yet. Cooking egg noodles just right and then frying it in a wok pan with vegetables, meat and your fav mix of flavors/spices and soy is amazing if you ain't big on the soups. You won't get that texture/taste off of pasta. That's not me shitting on pasta cus they both taste awesome when prepared right, just different. But there's something about the mix of oyster sauce and soy, eggs and the way beef/chicken is prepared/cooked with the flavors that makes the dish something of its own. You really should find an authentic Japanese ramen/soup recipe of some sort and try it out, you'll never place ramen and pasta in the same sentence again.

Objective you really can just type paragraphs about legit anything can’t you? Sheesh

I haven't posted 1 fucking message for 2 months on this board or something. I've taken close to a 1 year break now from being active here, gotten more involved with the Norwegian hiphop scene and been getting tons of positive remarks lately from both heads and friends. It's been a positive experience. Makes me wonder what I'm doing here with shitty ass people like you fucking up the place on the reg for no reason. If you don't have a good reason to start shit, then fuck off. I decided to check out NCs again thanks to the discord, don't even put in the URL on my own anymore. I check out NCs boards again cus this my home instead of "hey, delete my account, this place is filled with negativity and not much room to grow anyways". I'm dead serious too, do you all really want less people to post here or nah? Don't even need a pink slip to make me leave at this point tbh cus this place is not much fun anymore if this is the "welcome" I get for just contributing shit.

Edit: Shout out to Sharp and most other people on here tho, that dude has always been real. But it seems like ya'll have already thrown off the people you used to shit on and I guess I'm next. The funny part is that most of y'all, real or not with exception of a handful of people, don't even realize how much you're losing on fucking with people, on a site that needs as many active heads as possible, ANY chance you get if you for some reason don't really like them much, specially those that have been around since forever. You do your thing tho, I got no problems to leave, I basically already have.

And? They're usually cheap af because asian people cook for a lot of people. Why pay more when you don't have to? Here in Norway I get cheaper vegetables, noodles and so on from the asian or middle eastern grocery shops. They have to keep it low or they're losing customers. Buying the same veggies/items in regular brand grocery shops can costs me up to 2-3x more, I save 5x on rice if I buy in bulk/a bag which is not even possible at reg shops. It's probably the same other places as well.

Things don't need to cost much to taste good. Ramen is made from basically nothing, what you're paying the most for with those 0.25$ is transport and packaging. If you're on the fence do a Google search for which brands people recommend and that you should go for. 0.25-1$ sounds fair putting US prices into consideration. The one you're showing looks like shit too tho with its own spices added. Usually when I buy ramen it's all you get, no spices or anything and cheap price/packaging too.

[uh-oh]

so, legit ramen, not the dollar store variety i linked to.

you can get cheap good pasta of all varieties. you can also get chef boyardee which is cheap too.

cheap wasn't the main point

Aaah, shit, my bad. Then ye, stay off of the terrible dollar store variants, lol. Make sure you're buying the same brands the asians buy, or whatever people with knowledge recommend for these dishes.

[Eŋg]

itt former albanian textcee turned norwegian hip hop starlet and occasional nc blogger misunderstands yanks talmbout ramen.

still types lots about it anyway.

fair play mate. fair play.

[Geno]

Man. Yall dont know bout that ramen life. Unless you did a bid, then i aint even trying to hear from you, cause you dont know shit bout ramen frillz. My man Strikta know bout that life though. Bet it lol. Let these fools know

[Immolate]

lmao geno. give us the prison yard ramen recipes dog stop holding out on us!!!

and i was def talking about the .25 cent ramen that includes it's own seasonings - that's where the sodium comes from i'm pretty sure. it's really not a bad seasoning, either.

While it's true they don't have much positive nutritional value to them, this can easily be offset by adding your own broth, meat, & veggies. I usually have my own broth in the fridge anyway.

What I like most about it is how quickly it can all be put together. In about 10 minutes you can have yourself a solidly nutritious meal. As you all know, I am an alcoholic, so something like this is extremely valuable when I'm about to blackout.

my diet is abysmal. never lacking in sodium tho shouts to my blood pressure

but word i enjoy ramen noodles for what they are, i just never got into actually using them with anything else cuz they just seem cheap and shitty so i'd just make like two packs at a time and house them

gotta eat right my dude. I made a vow to only eat food I cooked myself a few years ago. It was really half an excuse cuz i was broke and didn't wanna tell anyone lmao so i'm like na i can't go out fam i only do home meals 8).

generally I only eat food that I or friends or family prepare. Nowadays I'm into wild game, so I'm always making broths from the organs/bones of kills. Hella healthy.

Side note, it's insane to think that we eat the same 3 animals basically all our lives (cow, pig, chicken) even though there are soooo many animals out there. Imagine all the nutrition we miss out on.

back to ramen - i'm really only starting to use them for something more than just what comes in the package. as a nigga who hung around frat houses, idk how i missed this one lol.

lmao wait til you hear about the 20,000 non-animal foods out there

[Finnydot]

Yo... I was thinking top ramen, too.

Ghetto style gourmet meal. 2 packs of chicken r amen, 2 slices of sandwich style American cheese, tobasco, voila.

[Ghost1]

lmao

im actually pretty healthy, especially for an alcoholic.

boof i get ya but it's not really the same. it's easy to find/order any kinda veggeis. finding other animals than cow, pig, or chicken is a lot harder. least folks are starting to carry duck. ya can also order pheasant online

[boof]

oh you've never heard of foraging

[Immolate]

are you this dense on purpose? when did you become a troll

[boof]

i'm not trolling

you said it's easy to find/order any kind of veggies

that's not true, at all, there's 20,000 different species of edible plants, we use 20 in america. there's obviously more uncommon plants than animals for eating.

people forage to find uncommon, wild edible plants and mushrooms that are... hard to find

[Finnydot]

I lived in the city my whole life. Only foraging i do is for change for McD's yaheard?

[Ouch]

I just get the Sriracha ramen kind or picante I think its called. I actually boil it not microwave it, microwaving it reminds me of jail.

And I just add sriracha or if I have deli turkey or whatever i'll put it in there. Nothing special.
