How to make Ramen (the basics)

Don't let the title fool you. I'm not gonna help you make ramen. I'm going to help you make great ramen. Perhaps the best in the world, after mine of course. But you ask, why do I need to learn how to make ramen? Simply because, if you don't know how to make it, you absolutely can not call yourself a man. (an Asian one at least) If you're a girl, and you can't make it, men will look at you with much hatred.

Now you say, Oh its just pouring water into one of those special plastic cups. If you were here right now I would have instantly slapped you in your face. It's not, and you're thinking of cup ramen, the worst type of ramen you'll probably ever find. If you think price wise, sure they're great and all, but quality wise, its just crap. So to help you, here's a short quiz. Which one looks better and seems like better ramen? Left picture or right picture?


If you picked right, you haven't been reading this at all. You suck and I wish I could hit you. It's time to be reeducated.
If you picked left, congratulations, you don't suck. Now the thing is, do you know how to make it? If not, read the my step by step guide to learn how. If you know how to make it, still read it because my way is probably better than yours.

First of all get yourself some ramen. Open it up like so:

Next get a nice pan pot thing like the one here:

Raid your fridge for anything you could throw into your ramen. Get an egg too. Example: 2 eggs and some ham rolled in cheese.

Fill up your pan pot with water, it can be sink water if you want, but i've got filtered. (ATTENTION: Ignore what the package says about water, go with your instincts just not too much or too little. It all comes to you as you make more and more.)

Boil water and watch. Or pretend you're watching NASCAR. Both will bore you unimaginably.

As soon as water starts to boil put that ramen noodle in. DO NOT BREAK unless your pan pot thing is abnormally small.

Throw rest of the stuff in there. (save stuff that doesnt have to cook until the end like cheese)

Stir carefully. Note if you put an egg in there, you have 2 options. Option 1: break the yolk and make the soup less spicy and more creamy like. Or Option 2: stir carefully so you do not break the yolk. Both ways are fine.

As soon as you see the eggs done, get yourself a bowl. Or if you don't feel like it, just eat it straight off the pot. (If you didnt put eggs in, WHY DIDN'T YOU? Oh well, you'll just have to decide whenever then.

Throw leftover things in, add whatever you want, just don't go overboard.
