Eating ramen noodles raw

Nexus2049 · Dec 1, 2018

Ya'know, eatin' this shit like a bag of chips, which is what I'm doing right now.

Was super common in my school, and not sure if just a local thing or if I'm just one of those people who can't be normal.

EDIT: Yes I crumple it up first, yes I used the flavor packet

Eating uncooked ramen is a real desperation move

i couldnt imagine a less enjoyable experience, and i just watched North Pole: Open for Business

No I think it's local to only where you live. I don't think anyone outside of where you live has ever eaten instant noodles raw.

Clowns · Dec 1, 2018

i always make sure to sprinkle the flavor packet on first.

Add Worcestershire sauce

Fat4all · Dec 1, 2018

tell me, Mr. Noodles... is there a Mrs. Noodles?

*winkwink*

I had a cousin that did this. He would also eat cold hot dogs right out of the packet.

Koreans do this all the time. They break it up a little before opening it and sprinkle on the spicy sauce packets and eat it. It's pretty good. They even started making snack versions of these things that's sold next to potato chips and stuff, but haven't tried those.

Now over to frozen pizza!

Clowns · Dec 1, 2018

I did that when I was a kid. Can't imagine doing it now though.

I occasionally eat a stray noodle or two, but only when I'm preparing to cook the things.

It was big up here in southern Ontario in grades 5 and 6 for me.

We would eat it raw. I tried doing it for a bit recently but that powder…heck.

Go eat the real ramen at a good shop and you will love life and it's big even that expensive

Eat it with the packet and its fine.

Ain't common but there's precedent:

Well I live in Ottawa, so hello there.

It was a thing in northern Ontario too.

I used to see people at school eating ramen raw. Pretty gross and it expands in your stomach so it can make you feel unwell.

- Open packaging
-Take out seasoning packet
Season ramen inside the packaging
- Close packaging, break off ramen into smaller pieces, and shake the bag to mix the seasoning in
- Enjoy your lunch

MIMIC · Dec 1, 2018

Never done that. I've gotten bored and chewed on raw spaghetti when ever I'm making it, but I could never imagine chewing and swallowing more than a few nibbles.

Baked Pigeon · Dec 1, 2018

You don't have to live like that OP. At the very least, crush it up and pour some hot water into the bag and turn it into a jailhouse tamale.

I had friends who did this when their parents weren't around to cook them for them. They thought I was a wizard when I showed them how to actually cook them.

Its like eating chips. They taste well imo. i survived off the 10 cent Walmart ones for a while.

I always knew how to cook them, just sometimes i'm really lazy
also sometimes prefer the texture of it raw.

I mean, I once poured Dr Pepper on a Pot Noodle so I could eat it then and there. Soy sachet too lol.

Can't say I would ever do it again though.

Armaros · Dec 1, 2018

Instant ramen has already been cooked, that's why it's crumbly and stiff. It's been fired once already and you just need to rehydrate it.

It's basically a giant block of carbs with the texture of a chip, mostly tasteless unless you use the packet.

Mediking · Dec 1, 2018

Uhhhh... no

args · Dec 1, 2018

nah B

BakedTanooki · Dec 1, 2018

I have never done that, but it was super common among kurds, arabs etc. back in school here in germany. Almost as popular as those raw salted sunflower seeds.

turbobrick · Dec 1, 2018

I used to do this when I was in junior high school. Get a bag of ramen, dump the flavor packet in, smash up ramen in the bag, shake it up, and it ready to eat.

chironex · Dec 1, 2018

Happens the world over. Used to do this in highschool in Australia in the 90s.

Dry instant noodle is nothing like uncooked pasta. It's more like the crispy deep-fried noodles that accompany many Asian dishes.

Maximum Spider · Dec 1, 2018

Not gonna lie, I lick-a-stick'd uncooked Maruchan ramen noodles into the powder as a kid.

cameron · Dec 1, 2018

Was pretty common in elementary school and middle school in Toronto. Crush the sealed package to break the ramen into smaller pieces, open it, pour in the flavour packet, shake, eat. It was either this or Jamaican beef patties for lunch.

Yup. Grew up in SW Ontario and I would crush raw mr. Noodles and dump the flavour packet into the bag, shake it up, and eat them raw on the regular when I was in public school.

It's delicious.

Now I want raw mr noodles.

Cow Mengde · Dec 1, 2018

Yeah, it's possible to eat it like that. I remember seeing it the first time as a kid while watching a dolphin show at a park. That's why the memory stuck with me.

IDreamOfHime · Dec 1, 2018

I used to do this when i lived in Thailand. Delicious.

I do both of these, and I'm 43.

Spenny · Dec 1, 2018

Kids used to do it in my elementary school in the late 90s and I thought they were heathens. Then I tried it and it was alright but I'd much rather have some cool ranch Doritos.

Dodongo · Dec 1, 2018

Shit's good

effingvic · Dec 1, 2018

I've done this before as a kid

Its yum

itwasTuesday · Dec 1, 2018

Yes, it works.

Soj · Dec 1, 2018

I've done this before.

Not great, but it's fine.

Dry instant Ramen are deep fried. That is literally why they are delicious and leave fatty bubbles on top of the liquid. Deep frying is the common method of dehydrating the boiled noodles. He's eating a deep fried snack.

A desperation move nonetheless.

I haven't tried it but there's no reason it wouldn't be as tasty as corn chips for example.

I mean it looks bad man. But chemically and tastewise, no reason to hide that dark urge.

I can't think of a food more improved by not just cooking -- but maybe grilling and boiling so it doesn't taste like the salty boneless arm of a chinless husky bureaucrat fashioned by a lazy God.
