Ramen on “How It’s Made”?

site admin — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:27:49 +0000

A colleague of mine said that ramen noodles were on “How It’s Made” last night, or at least he thinks that’s the show. Can anyone confirm?

Bailout Ramen

site admin — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 01:33:44 +0000

Just thought I’d point out that McDonalds apple pies are not the best way to gauge a bail-out. $700 billion USD will buy you 3.5 TRILLION (3,500,000,000,000) packs of ramen at 20 cents per pack, although I imagine you could get a better discount at that bulk rate. Since ramen is about 1″ thick, we could stack this pile of ramen from the Earth to the Moon over 230 times (I hope I did the math right). At 6.725 billion people, we could also buy every single person on earth 520 packs of ramen! Or, we could give every investment bank employee a three year supply of noodles, either way, this is a bailout that I support!

Update: As I suspected, my math was wrong in the earlier posting. I forgot to convert from inches to meters when I did the calculations.

9 News Story On Ramen

Here’s the link to the 9 News story on ramen. Nelson Garcia came up to my house yesterday and I did manage to find some steak leftover in the fridge. Finding leftover steak is so cool, it’s like finding $10 in your pocket.

PS - I am working on Adele Arakawa recipe.

The 9 News van is on the way to my house to watch me cook some ramen recipes and discuss the state of ramen. I had about 90 minute notice and they caught me with no ramen in the house! I ran to the store and I plan on making a soup and a stir-fry style dish as well.

PS - 9 News is the best local news channel in Denver, regardless of whether or not I’m on!

Tangy BBQ Funion Ramen

When my wife was pregnant, she stopped eating Funions, normally her favorite type of chip, because I don’t think anyone knows what they’re really made of or from.

Ingredients

Pack of Ramen Noodles
Onion Powder
St. Louis style chicken and rib rub spice

Boil your ramen noodles as normal and instead of adding your chicken flavoring, add a combination of the two spices to the boiled water. Add a good amount of the two spices and stir until well mixed (actualy amount is up to you, but start with 1 tsp each). Let the noodles soak in the flavor for a few minutes then drain. The taste reminds me of the sweet tangy taste of mesquite sauce and a funion. Very tasty! Note: You can taste the broth to see the flavor, but the taste in the noodles will be less intense than the broth.

There are probably infinitely many types of curry powder, so if anyone tries this, be sure to comment on which kind you use.

Ramen Prices Still Rising

site admin — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:02:11 +0000

An odd news source for Ramen news, but TradingMarkets.com has some bad news from Nissin Foods, makers of Top Ramen.

NISSIN FOOD PRODUCTS CO. (TSE:2897) will likely lift the prices of its ramen noodles and other products again if the government increases the wholesale prices of imported wheat as expected this fall, President Koki Ando said Friday. Nissin Food “will have no choice but to pass on (higher costs) by raising product prices,” Ando told reporters.
