PERFECT INSTANT RAMEN
Make some instant ramen. Slide an egg into the hot broth, then some butter. Crown the steaming noodles with slices of American cheese. Scatter a bunch of toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions across the top, if you want to. Hardly a recipe! But for the chef Roy Choi, who gave it to The Times in 2014, doctored instant ramen is a taste of Korean-American straight-from-the-bag soul food. The butter, egg and cheese help coat the ramen noodles and deepen their flavor. "It's our snack, it's our peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it's our bowl of cereal," Mr. Choi said. "It's something that has been a part of my life forever."

Steps:
- Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the noodles and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flavor packet, stir, and continue to cook for another 30 seconds.
- Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the egg. Do not stir; pull the noodles over the egg and let sit for one minute to poach.
- Carefully transfer everything to a serving bowl, add the butter, cheese and sesame seeds and mix. Garnish with the scallions if desired.

16 INSTANT RAMEN BRANDS, RANKED WORST TO BEST - TASTING …
From tastingtable.com
- Nissin. The best instant ramen brand goes to the company behind the iconic Cup Noodles: Nissin. Few may know that the world's first instant ramen was chicken flavored, and was invented by a man named Momofuku Ando at just 48 years old in 1948.
- Nongshim. The Shin Ramyun brand from Nongshim is an iconic spicy ramen with instantly recognizable red shiny packaging that claims it "can make a grown man cry."
- Samyang Foods. Spice lovers who want even more spice in their ramen need to check out Samyang Foods, another Korean brand that was founded in the aftermath of the Korean War.
- Paldo. The next instant ramen goes by ramyeon in its native tongue: Meet Korean's answer to traditional Japanese ramen, which makes the ramen instant, spicier, and punchier.
- Sapporo Ichiban. Ichiban in Japanese means number one, and while Sapporo Ichiban Original ramen from Sanyo Foods is not number one on this ramen ranking, it's pretty decent ramen.
- Myojo Ramen. Myojo is a lesser-known Singaporean ramen brand in America, but its soy sauce-flavored Chukazanmai ramen "is a long-standing favorite of Japanese people," according to Peter, the blogger behind Japanoscope.
- Immi. Where A-Sha USA is innovating the ramen game, immi is a full-on disruptor. A true startup company, immi raised the interested eyebrows and funds of investors and advisors, some of which are founders at millennial-targeted companies like Magic Spoon and Thrive Market.
- A-Sha Ramen. Although many associate ramen with Japanese food, ramen actually has roots in China, stemming from hand-pulled Chinese noodles, called "la-mian" (via Bite My Bun).
- Daisho Ramen. Daisho began as a company in 1991, and at first, made hot pot soup bases, to help people "intake plenty of vegetables in one meal." Its goal is aligned with vegetarians who like ramen, since the Nagahama Yatai Ramen, Tonkotsu style is pork-flavored (tonkotsu literally translates to pork bone), but is completely meat-free.
- Lotus Foods Ramen. Gluten-free eaters, rejoice: There is a brand of non-wheat noodle ramen that won't set off your gluten sensitivities. Lotus Foods began in 1995 by importing heirloom rice from China, which was then turned into a premium rice ramen noodle brand that is proudly gluten-free.
