I enjoy the bowls now and then, though most of the nong shim have beef fat in them so once I went veggie I had to find something else. I get Sapporo Ichiban. I often get the Miso flavor of the brick type, and the soy sauce flavor of the bowl type. With those I cook them precisely as instructed on the package.
When I get Top Ramen (either oriental or chili) I often microwave them. Just put the noodles in a ziplock bowl, add water, nuke, add seasoning packet, enjoy.
I also get a "chow mein" style where you take two cups of water and boil the noodles but let them soak up the water. Then toss them on a plate, add seasoning packet and seawead packet and enjoy!
I have a variety of chopsticks and fancy bowls but I am no stranger to the ziplock bowl and plastic fork as well.
I have a recipe for home made ramen I want to try at some point.
