I always have at least two packages of this ramen in our freezer and if I am running low I make sure to stop at our local Japanese market to buy more. This is a proprietary staple for ramen boy. He knows where it is and he knows how to make it. He says when I make it with love it tastes much better but I’m no fool. Nonetheless I consider it his stash so I rarely eat it. Until today.
I knew I had sour kimchi in the fridge and some scallions. Couldn’t be bothered with the egg so in a pinch it was a fast and easy meal for me. I like the Sun Noodle Brand because it doesn’t contain any MSG or other preservatives and its pretty tasty. The frozen noodles cook perfectly al dente the way I like it with still enough spring to it and the spicy sesame paste has just a little kick to it. I squeeze the paste into the ramen bowl and pour bowling water in it. Cook the noodles, drain and put in the bowl with the soup, chopped scallions and kimchi.
As I start to slurp the noodles ramen boy comes into the kitchen. He said he could smell the ramen wafting up the stairs to his bedroom and thought I made him some noodles. Nope hands off this ramen as I point to the freezer.
