    Instant Noodles

    Do you guys break the 'noodle block' in half or whatever when you cook it, or do you just pour the water onto the block as it is?

    Boil water and place 1-2 blocks into said water.

    I then add a shitload of veggies and meat and make an awesome-broth.
    So men die under the mountain just looking for gold, some die looking for a hand to hold.

    Next time you cook ramen, try adding peanut butter.

    Best thing I've discovered.

    Don't knock it till you've tried it. It's like peanut satay noodles.

    Considering I despise peanut-butter, I'll pass.

    Re: Instant noodles: Break the block?

    Why would you break it up so that the noodles are shorter? I've always liked long noodle strands...

    This guy knows what hes talking about, seriously guys peanut butter with ramen is awesome, though it does add a few calories so I tend to leave it off sometimes(either add a fair amount or nothing, a little won't do much)

    Me = leave noodles as whole, boil it until it starts to break off, then empty the soup, refill the water. Then comes putting all the fillings and the extra stuff

    Re: Instant noodles: Break the block?

    I don't break it in half I break it into 1000 pieces. I break the noodle block up into many little pieces (which is harder to do than it seems without getting noodle shards flying everywhere). I always assumed everybody done this?

    Re: Instant noodles: Break the block?

    When I eat those I always cook 2 packets at once as 1 packet is not enough. What annoys me thoguh is that there are only 5 packets in the bundled pack. They should make it either 4 or 6.

    Thank god I'm not the only one who thinks this.

    But what I do in that case is just buy 2x5 = 10.
