How do you eat your Ramen?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I have a fondness of Ramen. Those delightful packs of dried noodles and assorted flavor packet are quite tasty to me. Flavored sawdust at its' finest.

However, Charley never resists the urge to poke at me over the fact that I drain the water out and essentially eat my Ramen as pasta. I know that traditional Ramen is eaten soupy, but unless I'm sick and desire soupy shrimp-flavored Ramen, I drain the water. I realize that traditionally it is supposed to have the water, but as a matter of taste I just enjoy it without.

As an aside, my favorite flavors are shrimp and creamy chicken.

So how do you eat your Ramen?

I've only ever eaten Ramen raw. Nice and crunchy. Soupy noodles do not appeal to me.

Eating cheap ramen doesn't mean you have to eat shitty ramen, so I doctor mine. Stuff I might use:

Sriracha
Nori
Rice vinegar
Scallions
Toasted onion
Naruto
Sesame oil/seeds
Mushrooms
Tofu
An egg
Whatever leftover animal bits I have.

Keeping with the cheap theme, if I have a gallon of water or if I want to punish my kidneys, I'll fry a slice of spam for it too.

Assemble with a full two cups of broth and serve in a deep bowl with chopsticks

I drain half the water, so it's less soupy. Eating it without any water always leaves me hungry afterward, but I don't like it totally soupy.

I decline to eat Ramen. Rawomen, maybe.

I do it like Christin. Drain all the water off. I used to (a long time ago) add shit like dill.

But I must have gotten lazy somewhere along the way.

I used to eat Ramen with the water drained but my Asian friends showed me that ramen with water is so much btter. More flavor. I eat this crap at least once a week.
