> [@dare\_devil007\_](#): > > Kimchee-flavoured ramen is weird? Weird!! I thought that was the most common because all the Koreans I know eat it all the time. All the Koreans you know eat it all the time…and reheat it in the Break Room Mocrowave in MY office. Kimchee and frikkin popcorn. ugh! ---

Mocrowave was NOT some kind of attempt at an ethnic accent based slur…It’s just my big white Gaijin fingers at work here. ---

> [@lorinada](#): > > My son just bought some lime-chili shrimp ramen. It doesn’t specifically say habañero, though. Aha! That’s what it was! Now that I think of it, it probably wasn’t habanero. It would be too damn hot to eat. ---

> [@Broomstick](#): > > I know there’s fat in ramen, and that it’s in the noodles – but what about the salt? Is it mostly in the flavor packet? I have here a Japanese package of Nissin ramen. It says “Salt - 2.6 g total (noodle and vegetable packet 1.1g) (soup 1.5g)”. ---

How much curry powder would I use on a standard brick of noodles if I wanted to make curry-flavored Ramen? ---

> [@panamajack](#): > > For instant ramen, I’ve seen the Lime-chili, Cuttlefish, Kimchee and Nori. My favorite is the **‘Chow Mein’** flavor (made by Kirin, I think) which has a rich, dark broth. Wasn’t there another thread that explained that ‘ramen’ is a Japanese pronounciation of ‘lo mein’ ? If that was right, then Kirin makes a chow mein flavored lo mein? That’s odd enough that I’ll have to find some and try it. ---

> [@sponge(worthy)bob](#): > > Cheese flavored. which may not sound strange, but certainly one of the more disgusting things i’ve ever tried. You’re a brave, brave man. I saw “Fettucine Alfredo,” and “Creamy Nacho Cheese”-flavored cups of Cup O’ Noodles at the store and was intrigued, but I never dared try them.
