You do know you can buy the chicken powder separately, right? Like, you can get oxo cubes in the soup aisle. The filipina made ones from the asian store are better though.

chicken powder separately

Unfortunately, the ones around here aren't all that great. Going by a ramen packet right now, it looks like this "Maruchan" version probably has more spices and dehydrated veggies than the straight chicken powder. Also, methinks the OXO cubes would be pretty hard to sprinkle over popcorn(!)

That said, there's all kinds of great popcorn toppings (store bought and homemade), so I don't suspect it's a big problem.

They sell the ramen seasoning separately. It's the same stuff in the little packets. If you can't get it locally, Amazon has it. Search for "ramen seasoning".

This conversation reminds me of when I discovered I can buy the Mac and Cheese powder for a lot less than buying the box. I love it on popcorn and homemade tortilla chips. Also can be used to make Mac and Cheese for cheap.

Good points. I remember that one can buy powdered tomato and a whole bunch of other useful powdered items on Amazon, etc. One can also buy that certain seasoning that makes movie-theatre popcorn taste so good.

Wyler's makes powdered boullion seasonings! They're fantastic. The problem is that Wyler's, and many other boullions, often inexplicably contain dairy and/or egg, for both of which we have an allergy in the household.

The Maruchen Ramen Soy flavor (which used to be "Asian") is actually vegetarian (IIRC - I'd double-check that), but most importantly for us is dairy and egg-free.
