Phil M0OFXToday's lunch. When they said 'gourmet spicy' they weren't kidding around!

@philpem burns twice
@wawik I'm glad the supermarket was doing a sale on Haagen-Dazs and soothing cream.
Rivaclaw🏳️⚧️ΘΔ@philpem they're a very good noodle considering they're available in supermarkets:)

Sorvall@philpem nongshim Shin Ramyun are the weak sauce stuff compared to the ones I’ve had from the Chinese supermarket.
@Sorvall well someone turned the capsicum dial up on this one, it was as hot as a Wagamama chicken chilli ramen.
It probably didn't help that I slurped the sauce and ended up inhaling it.

Tvorsk@philpem Aw yiss. Nongshim is dang good stuff for the price. And this flavor is just the right amount of spice for casual consumption. More effective at unclogging sinuses than most medicine, too!
@Tvorsk Sure beats Pot Noodle, and I think I prefer them to Naked Noodles and Naked Rice too.
Though I might not have this one for lunch again.
Also I need a proper, full size, ramen bowl.

bitsavers.orgSomething to do with a pkg of noodles
boil 'em, drain 'em
Heat up a couple of chicken patties on a plate
and dump the noodles on them.
Mix up some thick gravy with some of the sauce packet, and corn starch dissolved in warm water
Add some real gravy then heat to thicken. The exact mix takes some experimenting. Dump the gravy on top, sprinkle with ground black pepper.
@bitsavers That sounds a heck of a lot like chicken katsu with noodles instead of rice... I'm tempted to try it.
I bought a box of 24 that I really didn't like the taste of as soup, so I needed something to get rid of them with.
@philpem Oh I like this one, but I very much prefer the Black variant. This includes an extra powder packet that says it has "beef bone broth." The broth tastes much yummier.
I usually get these, do a quick reheat of pulled pork I buy at a local restaurant after marinating in dark soy sauce and eat it with that.
This is still spicy but actually enjoyable, unlike a lot of the other "OMG SUPER HOT" ramen that tastes awful. And I say this as a Mexican guy who likes Spicy food.
@Foxhack Oh wow. I'll need to look out for that one. I bet it tastes really good - but an Oxo stock cube would probably do the same job.
The one I had (the Gourmet Spicy) tasted really spicy, and for me it took the fun off of a nice lunch.
I'm all for spicy food, but it's very much an evening thing for me.

@philpem It's got about the same level of spice, so it might not be to your liking, but you can always use less of the spice packet. :) The extra pack isn't spicy hot but it has garlic and other things.
And of course the garnishes / veggies / meat can also help with the spice level.
Now you know for next time. ;)
