Instant Ramen – Do You Cook the Noodles in the Broth?

I always keep a pack of Shin Black instant ramen in my kitchen for those times when I want a quick and easy meal. For me, the noodles are just a way to enjoy the delicious broth and extra veggies (which I always add).

I typically use less than the entire pack of noodles. I start by preparing the soup and vegetable mix, then add the noodles directly into the broth. This way, they soak up the flavors better. After all, on their own, ramen noodles are kind of bland – just water and flour.

I came across a post yesterday suggesting that this method is a no-go. How do you usually cook your instant ramen?

  1. I totally get where you’re coming from! Shin Black is such a flavorful choice, and adding extra veggies is a great way to elevate it. Cooking the noodles directly in the broth definitely helps them absorb all those delicious flavors.

    I usually go the same route as you—adding the noodles to the broth after the veggies are cooking. It gives the dish more depth, and I like that the noodles soak up the flavors. Some people argue that it can make the soup cloudy or that it takes away from the broth, but I think the trade-off is worth it for that extra flavor.

    Do you have any favorite veggies you like to add? I usually toss in some bok choy or spinach for a bit of green!
