In instant Ramen? No.

At a restaurant or stall? Yeah, I'll drink most of it.

LOL instant ramen? I dont even have broth. I drain it out. In Japan, absolutely. If the broth is too salty, I will ask for soup-wari.

All that sodium.

Nope. Whatever broth that gets scooped up with the ramen is what I consume. Maybe I'll have another spoonful or two after the noddles are done but I'm not drinking the whole thing.

I didn't discover that instant Ramen was "dehydrated" by being deep fried until a couple of years ago.

Certainly explained how some people could eat it "dry" though.

At a restaurant of course, unless I'm feeling too bloated from all the water

I don't really eat instant. Just use the noodles for dishes I'm already making. But i probably wouldn't.

No, instant stuff after all the contents are gone the remaining broth goes down the drain. Too much salt and I don't want to piss gravel.

Anyone add their own shit to it? I love the Nissin Hot n Spicy Fiery beef. I'll usually replace the chili packet with a huge dollop if garlic chili paste and add in a teaspoon or two of rice wine vinegar. If I have leftover beef or chicken I'll throw that shit in too.

Same as many: restaurant Ramen, I empty the bowl completely.
I don't eat instant ramen anymore, since those are not great.

If I have room in my stomach, fuck yes. Wait...Does Japan share the tradition with China where you should leave a tiny bit of food to show you are full?

Instant ramen broth is just pure sodium. Gourmet, real ramen is the only one you should drink.

Hell no, I didn't think you were meant to. That's literally 70-80% of your daily sodium value in like 10-15 minutes haha

I was going to say no for instant ramen, but OP specifically included a pic of Shin Ramen. That stuff is pretty good, especially with a bit of garlic and a poached egg.
