Are they? I've noticed this with the INFPs I've met. If you ever want to figure out if someone's really an INFP, just ask them if they like Ramen.

Do you put in the seasoning packet before or after the boiling?

The directions say put it in after. I think that's a great failure, I put it it in before the boil for maximum broth flavor absorption, which is clearly the best way to do things.

Some people are noodle crunchers, however. That's blasphemy. You don't crunch the noodles and spill them out into the pan all stubby like that.

I am a pre-seasoner as well, and I prefer an unbroken cake of noodles.

What do you do with the noodle crumbs, Bamboo? I don't like to put them in the water with my pristine cake of noodles, so I usually just pour them into my gaping maw and crunch them raw.

A pot pure as your heart, but a mouth sullied by crumbs. Perhaps I can look past this.

Makes a good salad topping. Like croutons. I'm more of a "dump everything including the spice packet which I'll fish out with a spoon or with my hand and try not to burn myself" type. Fast and dirty.

Do you measure the water out?

What do we ask you to see if you're really an ENTJ? ;)

Oh yeah. I do the same thing.

Well, I add half the flavor packet. Or if I decide to use chicken stock instead of water, I don't add the flavor packet at all. But either way, I make up for the lost powdered flavoring with loads of frozen veggies, plus fish sauce, shrimp paste, Sriracha, and maybe an egg.

I used to add peanut butter. Might start doing that again.

No way! Measuring is for the weak. I live dangerously. :cool:

I do not like ramen! I do, however, like soba and udon, which are types of japanese noodles that may or may not be like ramen, I'm not really sure. I have been to Japan, and I liked there noodles when I was there. I did not have any ramen there, I have not had any since like high school if not earlier.

I don't measure the water, but I do always make it in the same pot that has a discolored ring at the right water level for perfect ramen.. from years of making perfect ramen.

Mmmmm ramen. I haven't tried putting the seasoning in first. I will have to try that. When I'm being fancy, I add frozen chopped turnips and turnip greens and hot sauce. :happy2: I bought a small sauce pan for making ramen and hot tea and can eyeball the amount of water I like (1.5 cups) pretty well as long as I'm only making one package.

My youngest son crunches the noodles up in the package and cooks them in the microwave in a paper bowl. :sick:

Turnip greens?! I am intrigued!

I wonder what the strong flavor of the turnip greens would be like in the ramen... Do you doctor the ramen up in any other way besides those three things? Which ramen flavor goes best with the turnip greens? What kind of hot sauce do you use? (Sriracha, I hope! I'm addicted to the stuff. :heart: )
My money is on 'No.'
But if limited anecdotal evidence supports it, then it MUST be true!

...Right? :(
