Method 1 of 3: Prepare ramen on the stove

1. Use a kettle to prepare ramen. Another way to prepare ramen noodles is to use hot water from a kettle, coffee maker or espresso machine. This works well if, for example, you live in a student house and are not allowed to have a microwave in your room. All you have to do is put the noodles in a bowl and pour hot water over it. Let the bowl of noodles stand for about three minutes and add the sachet of flavoring.

Tips

• Small adjustments to the stock can make a big difference. However, whether it is a good idea depends on your personal preference.
  • You can improve the taste by adding butter to the boiling water.
  • Throwing away the water in which the noodles are cooked can prevent them from tasting like starch, becoming thick and greasy. Normally you do not lose vitamins because of this. Heat some water and add some flavoring. A good start is to use a little less water than recommended for cooking the noodles, because the noodles have already absorbed enough water. You can also choose to add something other than stock to the noodles, such as soy sauce, bean paste (sometimes sold packaged with the noodles), a small amount of flavoring from a bag, or vegetables (sometimes a small amount of dried vegetables sold along with the noodles; you can rehydrate them and then remove them from the water or strain them).
• With small adjustments you can improve the taste and appearance and make the noodles contain more nutrients. If you plan to discard the cooking liquid, cook the foods you add separately in as little water as possible and add them to the final dish along with the cooking liquid to avoid discarding vitamins, especially if the foods are moisture. include (e.g. vegetables).
  • An inexpensive way to make ramen a healthier and more balanced meal is to put frozen vegetables in the water as it boils, wait for the water to boil again (the vegetables will mostly float in the water), and then add the noodles.
  • Add an egg during cooking for protein and good taste. Put a whole egg in the water to form a mass, mix everything and stir to get a dish with pieces of egg. You can also bake the egg ahead of time to make a crispy dish.
• Ramen noodles can be served with fresh vegetables, meat and other foods to create a variety of nutrient-rich dishes. Char siu and minced pork are good additions, as are green onions, kamaboko (fish cakes), bean sprouts, white onions (cook well) and nori (seaweed).
• Cook the noodles according to the instructions, but discard the water and use stock with better ingredients. Let the noodles absorb the flavor for a few minutes before eating them.
• Some people add half of the flavoring when boiling the water and half when the noodles are drained and in the bowl. This makes the taste a lot stronger. Make sure to stir the windows well
• Eating ramen with a fork can be a form of sacrilege and quite embarrassing when you do this in the company of certain people such as Japanese or people who grew up in Japan. Residents of Hawaii are likely to make fun of you. First learn to eat with chopsticks.
• If you are not sure if there is too much water in the pan, just cook the noodles and only put the flavoring in the pan after you have discarded the excess water. Pour the noodles and water into the bowl and stir well.
• The cooking methods in this article can also be used to prepare other types of noodles. However, it is important to research the properties of the noodles first.
• The noodles are covered with starch which ends up in the water when it boils. Use freshly boiled water for better flavor and a healthier bowl of ramen.

Warnings

• Ramen noodles are usually high in fat because they are fried in the factory when prepared. The flavoring usually contains a lot of sodium. Both the noodles and the flavoring are low in nutrients other than carbohydrates. Avoid mainly eating ramen. Pasta is just as easy to prepare, but it is lower in fat, often has added vitamins, and is typically eaten with a large amount of nutrient-rich foods like vegetables.
