The Not-So-Instant/Not-So-Slow


Instant
Raamen
Went foraging for food the other evening only to discover, stacked silently behind a horde of instant raamen (Cup Noodles and Sapporo) this not-so-instant raamen (see the photo of the empty package above. Yes, of course it's empty. You don't think I'd tell you about raamen I haven't eaten yet, do you?) The noodles are not flash fried but are relatively fresh. i.e. they are soft to the touch and bend when bent. The recipe on the back says boil water, drop the noodles in, wait three minutes. Pour the noodles and dashi into a raamen bowl, add whatever else you want in your noodles and eat. Pretty simple but the taste was miles above instant noodles.
