Howdy doody, Bsalez.

Speaking of chashu, there's this Japanese/Hawaiian restaurant that has teriyaki chashu burritos... Sounds weird, but they're awesome... Oishii desu!

Wow alot of Ramen eaters on this board ^_^. I dont think Ive ever had the real kind of Ramen that you guys had. Im more use to the Instant cook ramen. When I was a kid I use to open the packets of ramen and just eat the Ramen raw without cooking it. Am I wierd or did anyone else use to do this?

Hey, they do that at The Loft: they have this salad with cabbage, sesame seeds, dressing, and uncooked ramen noodles... Tasty!

Anyone ever get the chance to come down to Hawaii, I can recommend a GREAT ramen establishment. "Gomaichi" is the name of the restaraunt and it's about a block away from Ala Moana shopping center on Keeaumoku St. Their tan-tan men is great. But I prefer the cold chicken noodle. ���`�����������ŁI!! (killers!)

Ooooooooh yeah!

Another great hole-in-the-wall I go to is Sanoya's... It's on King Street, a few blocks from the old Honolulu Stadium. The good thing about that place is they're open until 3am or something like that. So if you're done clubbing or you're on your way home from a ballgame, it's a great place to go. They make the noodles themselves. The ramen there is excellent, as well as their yakisoba dishes. My favorite ramen has to be miso ramen with char siu and green onion.

Question... What the hell is "saimin" anyway? Who invented it?

Char Siu!!! That's how you spell it!! Oh man, I was rackin' my brain...

BBQ'ed pork is called Chashuu in Japanese. Called Cha Sau in Mandarin, and Char Siu in Cantonese. =)

As for dumplings, there are all types of things you can stuff into it, sizes, and how you cook it (boil, pan fried, steamed, fried, etc.).

Never eaten instant ramen raw, I think I'd have to kill myself if I did. =)

Yeah, I wish I could get good ramen for cheap in the DC area...agedashi tofu is good, too. Though I don't know if it goes well with ramen. Someone wanna get me tickets to Hawaii? =D

This sushi place near me (Hakone Sushi) has excellent agedashi...

coming from a completely american, white, caucazn point of view i can live on cup of noodles speaking of which with my savons discount i get 12 of em for a buck!!! GAAAHA! Now i have 2 questions primarily for bmw... 1) what's agedashi again? 2)where's that hawaiian/japanese place you were talkin bout? man my mouth is watering....
Hey uchiha my brother used to break those square ramen things (from nissen or somethin i think) just a bit and eat em raw must be a generational thing my whole family is a little weird in it's eating/sleeping habits

My favorite "sort-of-instant" ramen is Sapporo Ichiban original flavor. Below are scanned images I made of the package:

Man, just look at how much sodium this stuff contains!

I'm lazy... I actually nuke this stuff in the microwave oven. Comes out great, and it takes less than five minutes. All you need is a sturdy Tupperware container that can handle boiling hot water. Throw everything into the bowl according to the package's instructions, place a paper towl over the bowl, place the lid on top but don't seal it, then nuke it for 3 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes with the lid still on so it fully cooks.

If you can't find this stuff in your neighborhood stores, you can buy it on-line at YesAsia:

http://us.yesasia.com/en/artIdxDept.aspx/aid-412538/code-c/section-snacks/did-6391/

In Hawaii, you can buy a whole case of this stuff for under $10.

Eat first in chinatown is good, if they're still open.

Eat First, is that a Japanese restaurant? Where is that located? On the two main streets of Chinatown?

Oh, sorry i forgot to mention, it's a CHN place. The 'wonton mein' is great here as well, but of course it doesn't compare to the ones in HK.

Eat First Restaurant
609 H St NW, Washington, DC 20001

J:

Agedashi is fried tofu... If you ever visit Hakone again, try it. It's terrific.

I don't know if it's still there, but it's called Mago's and it's on Centinela Blvd. somewhere in the Mar Vista/Culver City area... There was a Japanese resaurant attached to it called Marina Mago and their food was excellent as well, particularly the sukiyaki... Mmm, that brings back memories...

Had homemade ramen for dinner today
- Boiled egg, dumplings, fish and squid cakes, roasted pork, vegetable, chinese noodles and delicious broth on a big bowl *still stuffed*

Really? That's keep me full all about a hour or two, I don't like "watery" kind of full. I guess I'm a rice-person, not a noodle person. Not that it's not good, I love ramen/udon/soba, but I get more satified w/rice.

Well, rice is more filling. You'll be stuffed for long after having rice for dinner, same thing for potatoes. I had Greek salad for lunch, now I'm hungry, light lunch

Ah...I see. For good Chinese style noodles, there's also Full Key (or is it Hope Key?) just down the street, 2-3 blocks away from the Arch.
