Go to your local Asian market and they will have a very wide selection of instant noodles that are much better than either of these.
Also grab some LaoGanMa Spicy Chili Crisp to put in it, you can thank me later.
I can’t seem to find plain noodles that taste as good as the noodles that come in these little packets. Do you have a brand or type you’d recommend?
Shin noodles are really good, but they are kind of spicy, they also come in packs like those pictured.
Thanks, I love those. They are a little spicy, I agree.
I ended up trying some nissin demae and they weren’t spicy at all and were super delicious
Indomie, MAMA are great. Any other names that come to mind?
Not deep fried in vegetable oil or lard and much healthier for you while costing less afaik.
Ah yes, lets name the spaghetti after body parts
What, you don’t like scrottini?
Only with Alfredo sauce
Everybody ought to have two boxes of spare elbows. You never know.
Also the only spaghetti here were named, you guessed it, spaghetti. So I’m’a sure you’ra keeping youra spaghetties in your panties, eh?
Yes, together with my’a two pieces of gnocci. Would you’a lika somee sauce with that?
Yum Yum or Mama
Mama spicy Tom yum is in my top 3, it’s so good

I can’t usually taste differences in brand like that anyway, so whatever is cheaper.
This type of instant ramen is the example that economics professors use of an inferior good.
inferior goods are those goods the demand for which falls with increase in income of the consumer
At least, that was the example that my professor used when I went to college. I suspect that a lot of cheap instant ramen is eaten on college campuses even to this day.
So, the point is that you’re stating what I think is the right way of looking at this. A big part of the reason people buy this is that they aren’t making much money, so naturally, they’d want to buy the cheaper one, as well.
I don’t buy that though. Wife and I ate a LOT of ramen in university. Now our kids love it and we buy entire cases at a time for them. I still like it every now and again, it’s nostalgic. For the record we’re WAY better off now than when dirt poor in university.
Do you buy nicer ramen? There are some pretty tasty options now.
Nope. They’re good but not the same. Kind of like when you just want McDonalds.
It is good to know that Lemmy is correct. The answers were, mostly, either maruchan or shin black, both of which are correct. the maruchan is what you pick when you are broke/ sick and aren’t sure you’ll keep anything down, and shin black is what you pick when you want good ramen not from a ramen shop. $2 USD per packet is a little steep for not sure it’s gonna sit well. I have a very picky tummy though so maybe most people have fewer issues with feeling guilty about “losing” pricy food.
Maruchan for sure
Maruchan, without question.
As far as instant ramen is concerned, I prefer that black Korean stuff that tastes like hoisin sauce and green onion (forgot what it’s called but you know the one).
But between these two, I like Maruchan’s slightly thinner noodles better. The chicken flavor is comfort food that takes me back to childhood. The chili lime with shrimp flavor is fire too.
Maruchan chili flavor or get the fuck out.
Maruchan Beef with powdered garlic and onion added.
Pork for me.
Buldak because their chicken flavor is artificial 🥰
Maruchan always
MARUCHAN 4 LIFE
I love the fancy ones with like three or four packets inside.
