Expert Answer

Once the water is boiling, add in two eggs and some beansprouts to get some extra protein. You can also use whatever you find in your fridge, like chicken, shrimp, or other veggies.

Question

Why do I need chopsticks to eat noodles?

Community Answer

You not have to use chopsticks. You can use fork instead. Chopsticks are simply traditional and therefore a nice way to respect the origins of the cuisine.

Question

Can I put lots of hot sauce in the ramen or is there a maximum amount?

Community Answer

You can add as much as hot sauce as you are able to tolerate and enjoy. Of course, adding too much hot sauce will increase the heat and make the ramen noodles spicier. It's probably a good idea to experiment gradually, by not adding too much at first, doing a taste test, then adding a little more, and so on until you reach the amount you think is hot enough and still enjoyable.

Question

When adding the egg, is it raw egg?

Torpi

Top Answerer

It can be. You can either boil an egg separately, poach an egg right in the broth, or beat the egg before cooking it in the broth for something like egg-drop soup.

Question

What temperature do I need the oven at?

Torpi

Top Answerer

Begin with the stovetop on high, and then turn it down a little once the water begins to boil (but if the water stops boiling, you've gone too far and need to turn it back up).

Question

Is it possible to use dried vegetables? Since I am interested to cook ramen in back country trips? If so what should I add?

Torpi

Top Answerer

Yes - some ramen brands even already include dried vegetables. Carrots, peas, and corn are a classic choice, but anything else you can get dried is suitable (as long as you add it early enough to be rehydrated and cooked) - dried cabbage is great in ramen, if you can find it.

What will happen if i mix eggplant with it?

Cook the eggplant in the broth then set it aside, cook the noodles and then mix them. You can use a mandoline to slice them or chop it into cubes.

Question

Why if you decide to use coriander seeds, do you suggest they be removed before serving? Are you not meant to ingest them?

Lesley Ochiora

Community Answer

You can remove them from serving if you'd like. It doesn't really matter since they're edible. It's all about personal preference.

Question

Can I use a separate plate while eating noodles?

Otterly Badgerific

Top Answerer

If you have a different food, such as bread, dumplings or pancakes, these should go on a separate plate from the noodles. So yes, if you want other food as well as the noodles, use a separate plate.
