Sapporo IchibanOriginal Ramen Noodles, 5 Count, 17.50 Ounce (Pack of 6)

It can be made in 3 minutes, but I have managed to extend it to about 20 minutes. It is a great soup. You get the noodle pack and a small packet of dry soup mix. You can put 2 cups of water in a bowl along with the noodles and the base and put it all in the microwave for 3 minutes, and it is done.This is what I do. I slice a vegetable (one of radish, leek, cauliflower, or turnip). I like only one of these at a time. I boil the vegetables in the microwave for two minutes, while two and a half cups of water is on the stove to boil. The vegetables are put in the water on the stove. When it comes to a boil, I put in the noodles, for three minutes (on a timer). In the meantime, I prepare the base with the powder they have supplied in a large bowl with a small amount of hot water. To this powder, I add ground red pepper, black pepper, small amount of turmeric, mushroom powder (if I have it), and a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Then I pour the liquid from the boiling noodles into the bowl and mix in the base (with the additions). Then, pour in the noodles. You have to let it sit for a few minutes because it is too hot, and still cooking. That takes about 15-20 minutes, but it is delicious.

So this is my favorite of all the 'instant' / fast cooking packet ramens. It's not the cheapest brand of instant ramen on the market, but it's in my opinion the tastiest ramen fixed as is.This ramen's closest competitor is Maruchan Ramen Soy Sauce Flavor but I give Sapporo Ichiban Soy Sauce Ramen the top price for flavor as is. Better balanced than Maruchan's seasoning.It can be made fancier as I suggested in my review for Maruchan Ramen Soy Sauce Flavor by preparing it in broth (vegetable or mushroom for vegans/vegetarians, beef or chicken for everyone else) instead of plain water & by the addition of a few vegetables (mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, green onions).A nice practical present for a college student or someone who travels or camps in an RV or trailer is an electric hot pot plus a case of Sapporo Ichiban. That will allow someone to fix a hot bowl of ramen without a kitchen or even a microwave. Both could be ordered from Amazon.

This is the flavor my kids like best. Great to be able to get them in a pinch when I don't have time to hit the asian supermarket. Always fresh!

This has been our family brand for as long as I can remember. My go to for a flavorful and quick lunch.

These are my favorite ramen. So yummy. It is a little pricey, so I try to wait for a deal. I love that these types of noodles are so versatile. Pair with a protein or two and a veggie and you have a quick, tasty meal.
