Nissin Chicken Ramen

I always have some in store.

It tastes better with slices of a green onion (the one held by Miku Hatsune).

And I put ground sesames in the bowl.

While you're boiling hot water, you put a raw egg on the ramen.

After pouring the boiled water, wait for 3 minutes with a lid on the bowl.

Put in the onion and ground sesame, and it's done. Any ramen should be had with a pair of chopsticks.


Some of you might know that we Japanese have "ramen" often. Sure, it is one of the popular dishes in Japan. And there are more than a few dozens of ramen shops in my city. The competition between them is really fierce and some of them that were newly put up go out of business so easily.

This is because we Japanese people are really particular about the taste of ramen, and if we aren't impressed enough by the ramen served by a shop, it starts to lose customers gradually and finally go bankrupt.

But contrary to such an attitude, we enjoy having an instant ramen from time to time. And this one called "Nissin Chicken Ramen", which was invented in '58, is one of the most popular instant ramen brands. As this ramen is very easy to cook, even people who don't have much time can have it for lunch or a snack.
