Make a broth ENHANCER

This is good for all ramen types, high effort or instant noodles.

Blitz up some dried shiitake mushrooms, add in all kinds of good spices you like. Get a tub of miso and pop that in there. A little bit of soy sauce. And whatever noodles you make will be excellent

Yeah, you need some umami. Other options would be kombu or anchovies. Or just straight MSG - that's what makes the packaged stuff so great.

OK, since goroth hasn't chimed back in, I will add that it's more about the entire "ramen eatin'" experience than merely just the flavor of the ramen.

Part of it is sittin' over a steamin' bowl of ramen.

Another part of it is the hot sauce. I like a very generous amount of hot sauce in the bowl/on the noodles.

Don't buy them at that price, especially not from a store named Smegmart but if you can find them locally they will blow your mind. No hot sauce needed for me, they are already very hot.

Oooh, I like that animal.

(I do like me some kimchi. )

Thanks for all the replies!

Lotsa awesome suggestions.

It's time.

i'd love to see the inverse too - one pack of ramen surrounded by 8 MZs

I cook em sticky noodles style in the microwave with less water (or bone broth), and add lots of extras which I keep on hand just for ramen - frozen corn and peas, fresh mushrooms, green onion, cilantro, spinach, sesame oil, sliced chicken, cooked shrimp etc.

cilantro - king of herbs

No mirin? That's key. And mushrooms. Lots of them.

I use mirin in plenty of cooking... I've probably thrown it in there at some stage but given that I just keep getting boring results I dunno if it is a key component. Nothing is at this point.

But lots of good tips in the thread.

Need to bump up the umami. And get some better noodles. I think they are putting a bit of a wet blanket on everything, making everything taste doughy.

Samyang are top tier noodles. Their kimchi flavor is bomb.
