I like to find an actual Asian market in whatever city I'm in. That way my choice of ramen isn't limited to the regular supermarket 3 for a dollar brands.
When I lived next to Oakland Chinatown/Koreatown I got really into 'fancy ramen'.
Thats what I call ramen that costs more than a buck and usually comes with 2 or 3 flavoring packets. Not just 1. The extra ones will oil or seaweed flakes etc
One of my favorites is Hwa Ramyun. Similar to Shin Ramyun. It's very spicy Korean ramen. Shin has bone broth and beef stock in it.
I don't eat cows so I stick to Hwa.
I like to cut up a few sprigs of broccoli, or some other green veg. Throw in some cubed tofu as well.
The tofu really works great in the spicy broth.
Another really good one that works with ramen or soba is to drain almost all the water and then add in peanut butter and soy sauce.
My old bandmate was a Puerto Rican dude, and he said it was a Puerto Rican thing.
I've dated a few Puerto Ricans and lived in NYC for a while. Now I think it was just a thing he came up with.
Tastes really good. Especially if you add some veg.
If I am really fancy, like I am getting now that I upgraded to a 2 burner stove, I'll bust out a frying pan and cook the tofu, veggies onions etc seperate.
For those that think of tofu as some clammy gelatinous ectoplasm. It's actually really good if it is fried until crispy with sesame oil and soy sauce.
Extra points for Lau Gan Ma chili crisp added at the end to give some bite and depth.
