If you want to be real lazy, just use Knorr buillon cubes for the soup base. The premade noodles just dunk in some hot water to loosen them up and get rid of the oil. And dump in whatever leftover green you have laying around. Cheap but filling.

GO TO JAPAN.
Every day since leaving that country my mouth longs for that authentic ramen taste. I shall be back my beloved Nippon.

This is quality poverty food, but i can see it being versatile too. I should keep some boullion on hand.
Despite being really into japanese stuff, i have no desire to go there--except to try the ramen.
Sadly, the only place that I know that serves the real deal around me is an hour and a half away. But it is amazing compared to a packet of instant ramen.

If you do this OP...well...may you RIP.

Isnt this that spicy ramen challenge stuff? Ive always wanted to try it. What kind of peppers make it insane? Ghost pepper or something like that?

Yes, do it OP.
They are not that spicy tbh.
Add some herbs and an egg and you're good to go.
Actually...now I'm hungry
Gonna have me some spicy noodles

Last time I was in Japan, I think I went to a place called Ichiran (Yi-Lan?), which I think is a Fukuoka chain.
I distinctly remember how little interaction there was between customer and server.
Customers prepay at an electronic coin machine that prints out order tickets. No tip.
Seating was designed for one person at a bar stool like setting with walls separating each person.
Each seat includes a personal ice water dispenser on tap.
Simply fill out a form and hand it to the server in front. You don't even get to see the server's face.
Wait a few minutes and server arrives back with a bowl of ramen.
Pay a coin (forgot how much yen) for kaedama (more noodles).

Ever since that experience, nothing in the USA has matched it. Ramen here tastes like stuff made from refrigerated instant noodle section.

I want to be able to make cheap mid-range ramen that I can throw together in under an hour that can make multiple servings in a way that's cheaper than buying it at a restauraunt. Oh and I want to be able to find the ingredients in a New Zealand supermarket, since that's where I live. Do you have any tips, Era?
My preference is chicken ramen with a miso base.

How much are you willing to pay? I deliver. For the right price. in the mean time.............
May I suggest...I've never actually had real ramen from a restaurant, only instant. For most of my life I'd been eating Maruchan, but just recently switched to
World of difference.
If you ever make your way over to Tampa hit up Ichicoro. It might give Domu a run for it's money.
Added to my to go list! Domu is awesome so anything close to that is good in my book. Thanks.
Well OP made me crave ramen. Going to make this tomorrow:

Ramen in the USA is a very slow experience.
Fastest probably is Santouka, but Santouka doesn't accept credit cards for some inexplicable reason. You also can't customize it compared to Santouka outside US.
If you can find a Ramen restaurant near you go there. But if you're just looking for something that will help you get over your cold:
It's top tier for prepackaged ramen and the spice just clears away congestion.
Can't go wrong with Nongshim Black
depends entirely on if that restaurant knows how to make good ramen. but i think that ramen as a food outside of japan has this image
attached to it by anyone who doesnt know what traditional ramen is. yeah, thats instant ramen. not even in the same realm as a legitimate bowl of ramen. if you've never had a REAL bowl of ramen, then you are seriously missing out. it is fucking life changing. just like having your first piece of medium rare steak after growing up with your parent's ruining it your whole life by cooking it well done.

Oh please. Life changing?
I put pho and beef noodle soup above ramen any day of the week.
Maru Ichi in Mountain View, CA.
Get the Kuro Ramen.
They have browned garlic pieces in a jar on the table. Chow down, man.

Well. Most places I get it around here (ca) it's just okay. Rich, but with a kind of woody flavor. Almost like an acquired taste. I can enjoy it.
But if you can find a good one, holy shit it's heaven. About anyone who's ever enjoyed any kind of soup would love it right away.

Every time I see shots of ramen, mostly in Anime, I always think "There's no way that's going to fill me up."
Isn't it basically soup with a little bit of meat and even less veggies? That's practically an appetizer.
Yes. Unless they make you instant ramen. Udon is also very good.
I decided to take my own advice and eat the Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen package... I bought a 5 pack, and is the first time I've ever actually had them
I've had much spicier things in my life... it's certainly hot, but there are worse things... and I didn't even need milk or anything, just a regular cold diet ginger ale.
I think I read some reviews saying they thought the noodles in this thing were really good... they weren't kidding... I've always been used to certain type of ramen noodles... this stuff is like... a step above somehow... reminds me of eating jellyfish
