Day 11

Today's blog will meditate on ramyun or ramen depending if you're a lover of a Korean or Japanese brand. (And if you're Chinese you call them instant noodles.)

I was just staring adoringly at my package today and I was contemplating the best way to cook a plain ramyun/ramen. I realized that different cultures dictate how you will cook your noodles and each will argue that their way is the best way.

Some say you must cook it on the stove, soup base first then the noodles and simmer. Others reverse the order and some even drain the noodles after the first cooking and then create a separate batch for the soup base. Fancier eaters crack an egg in for good measure.

Me? I pour my soup base, noodle and a cup of water in a microwavable bowl and nuke it for 2 minutes.

I think the way a person chooses to cook their noodles say a lot about them. But that isn't saying much about me.
