11 Jan 07 - 09:50 PM (#1933894) Subject: RE: Obit: Goodbye Mr. Noodle From: wysiwyg Yeah, I recall seome real creative tamen efforts myself from a trip I took a few years ago on zero budget. After a daily oatmeal brekky and McDonald's dollar burger for lunch, the nightly ramen meal is practically health food. Luxury with a hotpot to boil water-- which BTW can act like a double boiler using an empty, upside-down tuna can in the base you can set an open can of hash or stew (for example) in the hotpot and the can's contents are nicely heated without dirtying the boiling pot. ~Susan |

11 Jan 07 - 10:28 PM (#1933931) Subject: RE: Obit: Goodbye Mr. Noodle From: Thomas the Rhymer Thank you Momofuku! I enjoyed the following passage from the article... "There are some imperfections. The fragile cellophane around the ramen brick tends to open in a rush, spilling broken noodle bits around. The silver seasoning packet does not always tear open evenly, and bits of sodium essence can be trapped in the foil hollows, leaving you always to wonder whether the broth, rich and salty as it is, is as rich and salty as it could have been. The aggressively kinked noodles form an aesthetically pleasing nest in cup or bowl, but when slurped, their sharp bends spray droplets of broth that settle uncomfortably about the lips and leave dots on your computer screen." ...Loved by all... ttr |

11 Jan 07 - 10:43 PM (#1933944) Subject: RE: Obit: Goodbye Mr. Noodle From: Bee-dubya-ell I guess ramen noodles hadn't yet caught on during my college days. I don't remember seeing them until much later. What I can remember eating while in college was instant mashed potatoes with various "Banquet Boil-in-Bag" products poured over them. I hope Mr. Noodle rests in peace, but I don't care if Mr. Banquet rots in hell. As far as ramen goes, my favorite is mushroom flavor with a can of tuna (in water) added plus a shot of soy sauce and a dash of Sriracha hot chili sauce. Sometimes I'll do creamy chicken with a couple of scrambled eggs thrown in. |

There are two different Mr. Noodle characters and two different Mr. Noodle actors. Bill Irwin played Mr. Noodle on the first season of Elmo's World, and Michael Jeter has played Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle, from the second season on. This season, keep your eyes peeled for two Elmo's World episodes that reunite the brothers! |

12 Jan 07 - 04:17 PM (#1934656) Subject: RE: Obit: Goodbye Mr. Noodle From: RangerSteve I break the noodles up, as someone described above, then boil them, toss out the water and sprinkle the seasoning mix over them, stir to distribute the seasoning, add scallions, mushrooms, leeks, shallots, garlic, green peppers, or whatever veggies I have in my fridge, maybe some tuna or leftover shicken, ham, etc. Ramen noodles have gotten me through times of little money quite a lot. The man is a hero, but until I read the obit, I didn't know it. RIP, Mr. Noodle. There's a special place in heaven for you. Steve After reading the above messages, It seems clear that we could start a thread on Ramen noodle recipes. There's so much room for creativity with the stuff. |
