It's really your fault for attempting something so complicated
If you want to kick it up another notch, add a few drops of sesame oil to it, too.
To one up this one-up, use chili oil instead.
You can also add chili flakes, green onions, and thinly sliced meats such as bacon, spam, or chicken. You can also cheaply garnish with nori and sesame seeds. Or just top that shit with a slice of American Cheese. That's fine too.
peanut butter
You have strayed from God's light.
Peanut butter is going too far but american fucking cheese is fine? I don't even wanna know what they put in that shit to make you call want to eat it so much.
Peanut butter is used in noodles and asian cooking plenty and it's great.

He has that look in his eyes that you only see in eastern European gay porn
That's terribly specific.
OG version of this meme
And here my first thought was 'I recognise that cute face'...
Seriously though, people way over gate-keep cooking. It's not hard to get into, at all. Just practice, and don't feel bad about following recipes to a tee. Even once you get better, there's nothing saying you have to create your own recipes. If you enjoy the process of cooking but not the rest, fuck putting limitations on something as simple as making food and do your own thing
An excuse to add: The Bear Season 2 was one of my favorite seasons of television EVER. If it tickles your fancy even a little, do yourself a favor and watch it.
YES, CHEF !
HERD CHEF
Fork is probably one of the best episodes of television ever made.
I really liked 3 Fishes, but Forks was just fucking phenomenal
They're a perfect 1-2 punch. One just breaks you down (I did NOT expect that--longest-feeling hour of television I can recall). Followed by the balm of Forks, which you've fucking earned.
I really enjoyed S1 and was worried S2 would get stale. Holy shit was I wrong

Cool. I was kind of stuck in the beginning of season 2 but I'll see it through now.

Want to make your ramen slap?
Add a bit of slivered onion and green onion, some enoki or seafood mushrooms, and two or three frozen dumplings.
Never disappoints.
I prefer cooked dumplings, the frozen ones hurt my teeth.
This is exactly the type of comment I'd expect from SatansMaggotyCumFart
That's so Maven!
This is what I'm here for. Please tell me more
Get refrigerated/frozen ramen instead of freeze dried. Sun Noodle.

Toss some cheap canned mushrooms in there. Top Chef!
I find dried mushrooms are tastier and they add umami to the broth, but it adds cooking time, so it's really a matter of preference.
Ok so I've been wondering how other people do this. I've heard so many different takes on how to use dried mushrooms but I have no idea which is the best way. What I've been doing is using dried shitake mushrooms, washing and cutting them into small slices, then putting them in a small bowl of water in the fridge to rehydrate for at least 30 minutes, then, after adding the seasoning to the ramen pot, I dump both the mushrooms and the water they were soaked in into the broth. I don't know how much flavor it adds tho. How have you been doing it? And what mushrooms?

On brand, most chefs I know don’t eat like they cook.
Can confirm. Not only could I not afford to eat the style of food I cooked at work, the last thing that I wanted to do when I got home was put effort into my own food.
If I was eating at work, I'd cobble together some kind of salad out of whatever scraps and nearly expired food I could shove into my face in under 3 minutes. If I was "cooking" for myself at home, about the most complicated thing that I'd make for myself was cereal.
The 6th mother sauce, sugary milk
Can confirm. Most chefs I know mostly eat alcohol after their shift is over. None of them are bartenders
Most people just refuse to bring their work home. Every bartender I know prefers rubbing alcohol over the fancy stuff.
We used to go regularly to this sushi place and had gotten to know the chef pretty well. It was a semi-fancy place with a sushi bar and hibachi section. Really good cuts of sashimi. He said his favorite thing to eat is McDonald's.
Add a handful of frozen stir fry veggies and some slices of Chinese sausage too, then pretend like you have a lazy stoner Michelin star.
I did this one time just to try cooking the hardboiled egg on my own and it wound up opening my interests to cooking and recipes. Since then I regularly cook and do meal preps / bento boxes :')
Dude looks like the dollar store version of James McAvoy.
Leave Lip alone
his name is Jeff
Yes Jeff!

Buy blocks of hot pot seasoning to keep in the freezer and cut off a small portion to taste to throw in there for a major flavor upgrade.

Asian brand ramen with 3 spice/oil packets are a base for a fabulous meal. Mei Mei is my favorite brand. At least so far.
I've seen this around, but haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a shot. A few of my current recommendations are Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Carbonara (the pink packs), and for a much more dry stir-fry style noodle I LOVE Indomie Mi Goreng noodles. Comes with 5 fucking packets so that aspect is a pain, but it's well worth it.
I'll be buying Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Carbonara and Indomie Mi Goreng noodles, too. MeiMei noodles are more toasted than most noodles. I eat the noodles plain and dry as hiking fare. The noodles themselves are that good. They taste somewhat like potato chips. The leftover spice packets go into Thai dishes,
To others who are reading, I was spoiled after trying the good stuff. I quit buying plain Ramen noodles, since.
Many thanks.
