If your like me, you love ramen noodles, but hate all the complicated steps necessary to make a bowl!
Instant Ramen Seasoning would simply replace the standard foil seasoning package material with a digestible, flavorless gelatin-like material, to be dissolved by the boiling water on contact; releasing
pure bullion goodness with no mess, no stress!

I have never heard anyone say making Ramen Noodle soup was *complicated*!! They let kids make it for themselves and old people and homeless people and lazy people, so please explain the complications, as I don't eat the stuff myself. |
|
| |
Besides which, most bouillon broths can be found in jars and one just puts a spoonful in hot water. |
|
| |
Have to agree with [xandram] here. |
|
| |
Now, how do you get the lid off of a pot noodle again? |
|
| |
You actually EAT the stuff in the little foil packet? |
|
| |
I treat those thinks like the little dessicant "DO NOT EAT" capsules. |
|
| |
One good boullion cube, shake of soy sauce and a fistful of frozen veggies. |
|
| |
psssst [skinflaps] lid of pot? |
|
| |
In the UK, Pot Noodle is a specific brand of cup noodles (ramen-style snack). It consists of a dehydrated mixture of wide noodles, textured soya pieces, and vegetables, available impregnated with a variety of seasoning powders and accompanied by a sachet of sauce which can be added to taste. |
|
| |
Different sauce sachets are included according to the flavour of the Pot Noodle, and include soy sauce, tomato ketchup and curry sauce. It is packaged in a plastic cup with a >> foil lid << best consumed when there is nothing left on this planet to eat or that the consumer is completely smashed off of their tits and that Pot Noodle is the only product to alleviate adjoining hunger whilst feeling ludicrously odd. |
|
| |
After many years of success, the manufacturers have extended the brand to include an extra-large 'King' Pot Noodle, as well as the Posh Noodle and Hot Noodle varieties.Note: equally rank in nature. |
|
| |
I always share, and thanks for sharing your UK info. I need to visit over there some time! |

I'm w/ [GC] on that, but have never thought to put in frozen veggies. I usually dump the strained Ramen into a stir fry for a few seconds. |
|
| |
(do the frozen veggies cook in 3 min.s?) |

(do the frozen veggies cook in 3 min.s?) |
|
| |
Cook? I thought these were just ingredients to add to a noodle hot bath. |
|
| |
Small veggies like peas cook just fine. I keep a bag of frozen peas and carrots (cut in pea size pieces) just for this purpose. (Not always ramen, but anytime something I am cooking calls for some veg at the end.) |
|
| |
Great title for Rev. Spooner. |
|
| |
[Epic] is so right, but fails to grasp the magnitude of the solution. The outer envelope of the ramen itself should be made of the same envelope, so that one merely need drop the whole package in the water. |
|
| |
How about an outer envelope filled with water, an inner one with the noodles (that dissolves in boiling water) and an inner inner one (that dissolves after two minutes in boiling water). That way you can just chuck the whole thing in the microwave. |
|
| |
I keep reading this as "No Hassle Seamen Reasoning". Some sort of fish finder? |
|
| |
That's not as bad as what I thought it said. But this seems eminently sensible to me. Maybe I eat Ramen too often? |
|
| |
I once ordered noodles in a rural restaurant, and got a packet of ramen. The bag had been pulled open at one end, the flavor packet removed, and boiling water poured into the plastic bag. It worked, sorta, but I thought that for my fifty cents the chef could have opened the flavor packet. |
|
| |
You can buy empty gelatin capsules at some health-food stores, and devices to fill them with your own mix. |
|
| |
Here in the Netherlands ramen and pot noodles are quite a bit less popular, unlike "cup-a-soup" instant soup powders (available in at least 40 flavours).
These could very well benefit from a dissolvable packaging. |
|
| |
One question, however: wouldn't the dissolvable material (gelatin) influence the taste or texture of the product? |
|
| |
I did vote for this, despite my earlier comments. I think a dissolvable packaging would require that you eat it right away (like the current package says to do for some reason) or it would probably re-congeal. |
|
| |
There is a gel that will dissolve in boiling water made from either kelp or algae extracts, but it is currently expensive. |
|
| |
Expensive, i don't mind. But does it taste good? |
|
| |
I can't find any evidence of anyone eating the stuff. It's called agarose. |
|
| |
//all the complicated steps necessary to make a bowl!// |
|
| |
Fie upon you! Rip open packet, dump in hot water, and eat! |
|
| |
[Zimmy]: "Agarose" being etymologically related to "gross"? |
|
| |
[DesertFox]: I agree, but I still get the feeling someone said seventy years ago: "Why? Just swing the crank around a few times and the car is started! Why try improving that?" |
|
| |
mad props. i love ramen! and those stupid
little foil packets... + |
|
| |
i just ate some ramen. it had oil in it too.
maybe this idea could somehow be
incorporated with keeping the packet
refridgerated, thus keepin the oil cool. in
the middle of the oil is all the seasonings.
simply drop the oil "packet" into the
seasoning and voila. awesome ramen! |
|
| |
Bouillon already comes in cubes. I guess it'd be cool if they just put a bouillon cube right in there for you so you only have to add the water. (It'd suck if they did that with the powder because people who don't want it would have a harder time picking it out.) |
|
| |
I say it needs a specially made "ramen resaltifier" |
|
| |
Also, you can get cuts when trying to open the foil seasoning package ya know... |
|
| |
It would be possible to include the contents of the foil packet in dissolvable cube form, thus dispensing with the packets, but if the package were jostled in shipping the cube or other such contrivance might break, making it much harder to remove unwanted seasonings. |
