Post Your Favorite Instant Noodle Thread!

[Qalbert]

i love the crispy cheese on lasagna though, around the edges

[chiyio]

Cream Soda's microwaved cheese noodles had me laughing. That's the single most ghetto meal I've ever seen. awesome.

[Sigi]

I can do one better: Coffee pot Ramen. Job Corps did not allow you to have a hot plate, and the microwaves were hyper ghetto- so boil the water in a coffeepot!

[Sira]

This.

Mmmm I can read the MSG even through the fuzzy lable

[Zoolander]

MSG really bothers some of you? I have never in my life had an adverse effect from MSG, its fucking salt. Everything I've read says this whole headache/bad feeling this is a huge load. I doubt its the MSG from the shitty unclean Chinese food place thats upsetting your body.

You guys got me in the mood for some noodles and I don't have any gdi, time to make a trip.

It's bullshit; you can give them anything salty, tell them it has MSG, and they'll get a fake headache. Shit's annoying as hell. It's amusing when you watch someone who's "allergic" wolf down sushi rolls (nori has tons of it naturally) and have no reaction, though.

Same thing with bottled water vs tap. Some people are just hypochondriacs.

Thanks to this I went out to get some real yukgaejang for lunch today. The real yukgaejang that you get at restaurants here can be best described as a bowl of molten lava. It's incredible

Yay wiki! Yay misinformation!

This isn't fucking right at all. You have no right to talk about misinformation. Nutrasweet is aspartame not aspartate, for one.

He's a quack, plain and simple.

He's not reading off cue cards so it was probably a mistake in words. He doesn't seem that proficient at talking in front of a camera so good job at picking apart one mistake that has nothing to do with the topic being discussed.

I can't find anything to suggest that he's a quack. Nervous in front of a camera? Yeah I'll agree to that

[Shiroikage]

He's a fucking chiropractor with a certficate in Nutrition.

Oh we're going down this road. Eh, I'm done

[Shiroikage]

Fucking fine by me.
I'm a bit drunk, and I don't have my VPN set up to access journals at home.
Just take my word for it, it's bullshit. It's not supported by the scientific literature, but I'm not sure if you give a shit about that.

[Kerberoz]

I can't find anything to suggest that he's a quack.

...besides the fact that he's a chiropractor, not a doctor, and posted in a channel called "psychtruth" along with 9/11 conspiracies and "top 10 sexy fruits"?

[Pirian]

I don't know why I'm bothering. Was hoping I still had access to my old schools database but I don't, and I haven't explored my new schools site yet, so forgive me for pulling this from lolwiki.

http://www.nature.com/oby/journal/v1...y2008274a.html

Of the 752 Chinese participants, 82.4% (84.2% men and 80.6% women) used MSG. Average intake of MSG was 0.33 g/day (s.d. = 0.40). Men had a slightly higher MSG intake than women (0.36 and 0.30 g/day). Average BMI was 22.3 (s.d. = 2.7) for men and 23.6 (3.6) for women. Age-, gender- and sample-adjusted characteristics of study participants are presented in Table 1. MSG users had higher BMI and were more likely to be overweight than nonusers

Spoiler: show

http://www.nature.com/oby/journal/v1...y2008274t2.gif

With adjustment for potential confounders, MSG intake was positively related to BMI. With 1 g higher MSG intake, the estimate of BMI was higher by 0.61 kg/m2 (P = 0.08 ). Prevalence of overweight was significantly higher for MSG users than nonusers: with BMI greater than or equal to23.0 as criterion for overweight, the multivariable odds ratio (model 3) for MSG users in the highest tertile of MSG intake compared with nonusers was 2.10 (95% confidence interval, 1.13–3.90, P for trend across the four MSG categories = 0.03); with BMI greater than or equal to25.0, it was 2.75 (95% confidence interval, 1.28–5.95, P for trend = 0.04) (Table 2).

I bet you have never even compared the course's of MD's and DC's have you?

Here is one chiropractic colleges course schedule:
http://www.nycc.edu/webdocs/registrar/dc_curriculum.pdf

It really isn't much different from a MD's schedule, except of course classes focusing more on the actual chiropractics as you get further along, but even that is the same as med school as students start to specialize. The only difference is everyone is going toward the same specialty, more or less.


edit:
In that video he barely even talks about what has been discredited (headaches, etc.) and doesn't even push that as true. What he does push is the excitotoxicity aspect of MSG, and that it draws the brain to make positive connections between eating foods that contain MSG so you keep craving it. And the obesity factor, which is what that study was that I posted
edit2:
Oh and the fact that it's posted in the same channel as 911truth means nothing. Mormons are in the same category as other Christians, but I've met few Christians that will pass up the opportunity to make fun of them. I know, poor analogy, that's best example I can come up with this tired after studying for two important tests tomorrow

[notorious bum]

Wait, the food and beverage industry manufactures products containing ingredients specifically to artificially trigger addiction and could possibly kill you?

I'm not one of those self-righteous health nuts who go on about never eating junk food and etc. However, if you're eating processed shit, you should automatically assume its got crap that came out of a lab and will prob cause cancer in some way lol The FDA is a joke, the industry is borderline criminal and basically does what they want a-la-cosmetic industry standards.

As for the topic at hand: I have approx. 70 packs of Ramen for emergencies or if a hurricane showed up and these bitches expire in like 6months. Best eaten without the nasty salt packets, regardless of msg, add some soy and sriracha and an egg=survival food at its best.

[miokomioko]

Anything causes cancer if you eat some fucking retarded amount of it.

I thought about trying to make ramen from scratch, turns out a good broth can take dam near 9hrs to make, here's one recipe just for the broth:

Momofuku Ramen Broth


http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...mmf_ramen1.jpg
from David Chang's Momofuku cookbook.

Makes 5 quarts


Two 3 by 6 inch pieces of Kombu
6 quarts water
2 cups dried shiitakes, rinsed
4 pounds chicken, either a whole bird or legs
5 pounds meaty pork bones
1 pound smoky bacon
1 bunch scallions
1 medium onion, cut in half
2 large carrots, peeled and roughly chopped

1. Rinse the konbu under running water, then combine it with the water in an 8 quart stockpot. Bring the water to a simmer over high heat and turn off the heat. Let steep for ten minutes.

2. Remove the kombu from the pot and add the shiitake mushrooms. Turn the heat back up to high and bring the water to a boil, then turn the heat down so the liquid simmers gently. Simmer for 30 minutes, until the mushrooms are plumped and rehydrated and have lent the broth their color and aroma.

3. Heat the oven to 400F
4. Remove the mushrooms from the pot with a spider or slotted spoon. Add the chicken to the pot. Keep the liquid at a gentle simmer. Skim and discard any froth, foam or fat that rises to the surface of the broth with the chicken is simmering and replenish the water as necessary to keep the chicken covered. After about 1 hour, test the chicken; the meat should pull away from the bones easily. If it doesn’t, simmer until that’s the case and then remove the chicken from the pot with a spider or slotted spoon.
5. While the chicken is simmering, put the pork bones on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan and slide them into the oven to brown for an hour; turn them over after about 30 minutes to ensure even browning.

6. Remove the chicken from the pot and add the roasted bones to the broth, along with the bacon. Adjust the heat as necessary to keep the broth at a steady simmer; skim the scum and replenish the water as needed. After 45 minutes, fish out the bacon and discard it. Then gently simmer the pork bones for 6 or 7 hours—as much time as your schedule allows. Stop adding water to replenish the pot after hour 5 or so.
7. Add the scallions, onion and carrots to the pot and simmer for the final 45 minutes

8. Remove and discard the spent bones and vegetables. Strain the broth. You can use the broth at this point or if you are making it in advance and want to save on storage space, you can do what we do: return it to the pot, and reduce it by half over high heat, then portion out the concentrated broth into containers. It keeps for a couple of days in the refrigerator and up to a few months in the freezer. When you want to use it, dilute it with an equal measure of water and reheat it on the stove.
9. Finish the broth by seasoning it to taste with salt, soy sauce and mirin. Only your taste buds can guide you as to the right amount of seasoning. Taste it and get it right. I like it so it's not quite too salty but almost. Very seasoned. Underseasoned broth is a crime.
