Best rice noodles according to redditors

you know they make a regular non 2x spicy right? lol

Love Shin Ramyun noodles! You should definitely try the Korean fire noodles. They're my current go-to. They're way spicier but still flavourful. If you google some variation of, "Korean spicy noodle challenge," you'll see them. The black package is great! The red package (2x spicy) I think is too hot - burns without any added flavour. The Asian grocery stores in my area have them but you can also get them on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ICT6ARS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1509566033&sr=8-1&keywords=Fire+noodles&dpPl=1&dpID=611BWPdjmXL&ref=plSrch

I cold soaked rice ramen last year on the PCT- it was a favorite meal of mine! I'm gluten-intolerant and you are right- it is a bit expensive-but totally worth it for me. I found the cheapest/most convenient option was to buy from amazon and put in my resupply boxes. https://www.amazon.com/Lotus-Foods-Ramen-Noodles-Millet/dp/B00HKIBKQS?th=1

In the morning (if I wanted it for lunch) I put the ramen in a Talenti gelato container with a bit of water (it just takes a little bit of experimentation to see how much) add the seasoning packet, screwed on the lid and put it back in my food bag. 3-4 hours later, it is soft and plump! I would regularly add in tuna, or chips or whatever else I had on hand - cause, yea, that's how you do it on the trail. :)

Knorr rice sides also work awesome for cold soaking- same deal, just put it in the talenti container, add a bit of water, and hike away! Then when you stop- dinner!

In normal life, cold noodles sound terrible- but being that my hiker hunger was insatiable- it was like a fun pasta salad.

I'll try that next time, i usually boil water, toss in noodles and stir, add packet after a minute or two then stir and pour in bowl. Burn hands as i carry to table then let sit while it cools and the noodles absorb more soup. garnish with some lonely lonely tears and dig in.

also, my personal absolute favorite brand of packaged noodles is these or their newer 2x spicy version. It's the same kind of technique as yours where the water is drained and then the seasoning is added but the seasoning is like a sauce instead of a powder. tastes damn good with a soft boiled egg.

Have you tried Samyang Ramen / Spicy Chicken. I can take heat most of the time no problem. This stuff made me cough and my lips burned after for a little bit.

OMG, my wife bought me this chicken flavor Raman https://www.amazon.com/Samyang-Ramen-Chicken-Roasted-Noodles/dp/B00ICT6ARS

And this other one...

So great omg

You need to try these instead. They are flavorful and spicy!

https://www.amazon.com/Samyang-Ramen-Chicken-Roasted-Noodles/dp/B00ICT6ARS/

Amazon has 5 packs for $9.41 bucks and I've also seen it at HEB for $2.39 per pack, if my memory is correct.

Samyang spicy ramen noodles easily the best instant noodles money can buy, got a mighty kick to them, walks all over a bombay badboy any day

Did you get Shin ramen? It's not the spiciest, but it has the best flavor imo. It is still spicy though.

The spiciest I think I've tried is this shit. Needed like a gallon of water/milk to eat it lol

Rice by itself won't ferment much because most of the carbohydrates are undigestible starches. The way sake is made, is that you cultivate a special mold on a portion of the rice which produces enzymes that convert the starches to sugar so that the yeast can digest it.

You can buy a bag of this cultured rice online, and if you mix that with some cooked rice (cool it first so you don't destroy the enzymes), you will produce sugar from rice which can then be made into alcohol.

Not exactly Ramen but these Laksa noodles from a manufacturer called Koka are AWESOME. I get a case shipped to me every other month. Each bowl contains dried rice noodles and four different packets: coconut powder, curry powder, spicy oil, and a pack of dried baby shrimp, dried peas, other spices, and chili flakes.

Sooo good. I usually toss is some more frozen shrimp to make it more filling.

Try Samyank spicy chicken noodles. You can get it from foodhall

The whole idea came from this SkinnyTaste recipe but I only used the pork recipe from her meal. These are the noodles I used. I prefer brown rice noodles but these are what hubs picked up, and they worked great!

I assembled the bowls by starting with a quarter of the noodles with 2T of the meat broth drizzled on top, then stacking up a half cup of thinly shredded red cabbage, a quarter of the pickled veg (recipe is somewhere in the comments), 2.5oz pork and a few chopped up cilantro leaves.

I contemplated using a bed of quinoa but I’m happy I decided to go with rice noodles! It made four huge portions and was very filling without being ridiculously heavy.

If you like a stir-fry kind of ramen without much water, this one is really good: link

I found them in the Korean supermarket near me! They're just spicy enough to sweat and hurt, but not kill me. If it's not spicy enough, there's a 2X spicy too!

My GF is GF and she gets Lotus instant rice ramen from a local store https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HKIBNBU/. A couple of the flavors are decent, I would add some extra spice. I don't think they have anything like a tonkotsu, but its a start.

This Soon Veggie Noodle Soup doesn't have palm oil in it. You could also make your own, it isn't too difficult but maybe a bit more time consuming. I like to use Lotus brown rice ramen and make a broth using mushrooms and kombu then add in lots of veggies.

This is murder ramen.

[This] (https://www.amazon.ca/IseSo-Miyako-Koji-square-type/dp/B004FH67ZQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1500505775&sr=8-3&keywords=Koji) is the way to go. And you can get next day shipping with Amazon within Calgary if I remember correctly. I have only ever ordered it once, and that was just a few months ago, so I cannot really tell you much else.

I would try this one by Samyang. It's been featured in so many YouTubes for the spicy korean noodle challenge. A 7-8 out of 10. It's spicy with a sweet after burn. And it's a "dry" ramen where you dump the water out, and coat the noodles with the fiery sauce and stir it in. There has since been a 2x spicy of the same brand. Haven't tried... don't think I'd enjoy it. lol

This one by Paldo has more of a jalapeno kick to it. I'd say it's a 5-6 out of 10 on the spice level. This is less spicier then the Samyang, but taste-wise I like the Samyung. Hope that helps... report back of what you think! :D

Any rice noodle would work. In Vietnam, a lot of people even prefer Pho broth with Ramen noodle (the type that comes prepackaged), so that's an option too. If you want to do the rice noodle route, I'd recommend something like this that would take not too long to cook:

Thai Kitchen Stir Fry Rice Noodles, 14 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016F7GFV4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_b723wbXVWEG9J

Or better yet, if you live near any Asian market, they sell fresh Pho noodles in the refrigerated section.

Well you see, the korean for it, 불닭볶음면 means fire chicken stir-fried noodles, so I imagine that if you searched for spicy chicken noodles on Amazon, you'd find it. Note that it's the original, not the newer cheese thingy.

edit: take your pick of these, they are all the same

I’ve bought it online where it’s been completely dried and shelf stable. Like this https://www.amazon.com/MIYAKO-Malted-making-Pickles-Isesou/dp/B004FH67ZQ

I’m not looking to fully dehydrate it, but just want it dry enough that I can easily blend it into a powder. It’s too moist to do that out of the fermenter.

Stop whining about the distance and pony up for the shipping.

/u/mynthe got me addicted . it's super spicy but super good

Concerning the hunger thing - you want to be able to feel full or you will struggle. Low-fodmap grains really help - going low carb will often leave you feeling hungry after meals. Keep them stocked and include enough to make you feel full after meals. My go to are brown rice and millet ramen noodles (these specifically: https://www.amazon.com/Lotus-Foods-Ramen-Noodles-Millet/dp/B00HKIBKQS, I get mine at Costco). Having rice or Quinoa are other good options. I'd try and get whole grains (eg brown rice, not white rice).



My typical meals are probably 30% low fodmap whole grains, 50% low fodmap veggies, and 20% fat/protein. I try and get 20g-30g of fiber per day.



The other thing is to start eating a lot more veggies with each meal, so you feel fuller. I do a lot of stirfries with eggplan, zucchini, bokchoy, kale, etc. Coconut oil is delicious. Add some meat and serve over brown rice and it's a pretty filling meal.



Find some snacks that work for you and keep them stocked for when you get hungry. I do brown rice crackers and peanut butter a lot. Bananas some.



Side note - I'd recommend trying to ditch the sugar as much as possible. Technically a little bit is ok on fodmaps, but I find that sugar gives me issues at any amount and there's far more in packaged food than you realize, so it's easy to go over. Make sure your peanut butter doesn't have sugar added - ingredients should just be peanuts and salt ideally. Quitting sugar is hard at first (it's seriously addictive), but gets easier with time and can make a big improvement to IBS symptoms.

Or at Costco (not sure you have costco there but) even Amazon sells them

I don't know much about it yet either - but just wanted to say, make sure you follow tmgastronaut on instagram, he posts a lot of cool stuff! Also, this doesn't help a lot on growing your own koji, but I bought a bag of it on Amazon to make miso with and it worked out well. I've tried all the Asian markets in my area and no one seems to have heard of koji.

Here's the product I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FH67ZQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

edit: I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, I'm just excited to see more people interested in koji :)

BAM

Dis shit is so delicious omg. Seriously it tastes like delicious Korean lava I want some right now but I csan't take the heartburn.

Some pepcid please?

Tried your extension! A truly worthy extension.

Suggestions and comments after trying it a bit in Amazon.com:

- Convert things like ($0.60/Ounce) to $/Gram or $/kg? (2 cents per gram or $21.20 per kilogram in this case!)

• This item https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0761T1J19?pf_rd_p=183f5289-9dc0-416f-942e-e8f213ef368b&pf_rd_r=GQPP57AC5Z7VN1GB6CJP shows dimensions of 【𝟴,𝟰 × 𝟰,𝟴 × 𝟬  𝗰𝗺】- infinitely thin?
  
• Dimensions convert fine, but where were the original dimensions? I selected to show original alongside the conversions but it didn't respect that.
  
  - A little smarter about where to use millimetres (so 0.03 cm would be better as 0.3 mm?)
  
  - I'd appreciate commas for decimal point if I was German, but could we have option for full stop instead, i.e. 123.0 instead of 123,0?
  
  On to Walmart:
  
  - Try any food and notice things like 12 Oz don't get converted, capitalisation throwing it? https://www.walmart.com/ip/HERSHEY-S-Halloween-Candy-Assortment-JOLLY-RANCHER-TWIZZLERS-165-Pieces/49455242?wpa_bd=1570127584243

they're delicious but will burn your face off

These noodles my parents bought for me once. They're so spicy, but the actual noodles and flavor are painfully great.

You can get them cheaper than that on amazon. I've seen them going for £5.73 for a five pack as an add-on item. Ok they aren't the 2x spicy ones, but I've had both of them and these ones are almost as hot.

Or if you absolutely must have the 2x spicy ones as featured on the video, you can also get them off amazon for £6.74 for a 5 pack

I was curious, searched and found this: https://www.amazon.com/MIYAKO-Malted-making-Sweet-Pickles/dp/B004FH67ZQ/ref=sr_1_1_s_it
It might be worth a shot.

From my knowledge, they buff off so much of the rice to "polish" it, that I can't even imagine how to do that at home. Rock tumbler? ha

bro just pay amazon to send it to him. it cheaper

tteokbokki - it's spicy rice cakes, eggs, fish cakes, spam, etc swimming in a red hot chili sauce'

edit: their medium is similar to the famous ssamyang fire chicken ramen

I bought this from Amazon, but your local shops may have it and for way cheaper. They were out when I went by mine.

In town, Costco was selling some higher end dried ramen noodles a few weeks ago. They are the same as these from amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Lotus-Foods-Ramen-Noodles-Millet/dp/B00HKIBKQS

Instant ramen, but the good stuff, usually spicy - at least 2nd or even 3rd tier (measured by number of soup/spice packets). It's shelf stable, and easy to toss in whatever extra protein and veggies we have.

http://www.amazon.com/Samyang-Buldak-Bokkeum-Ramyun-Gourmet/dp/B00GE1XKHY/ref=sr_1_10?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1414343431&sr=1-10

The price is outrageous though. It's about $5-$6 in the stores for 5 packs.

I get mine on Amazon. They make the regular Spicy Fire Noodles (which is what you ate and what the link is). They also make 2x spicy noodles (red package) and Cheesy Fire Noodles (yellow pack). The 2x spicy will make your face go numb :)

A lot of spicy sauces, and especially asian ones, have sugar added to balance out the saltiness of soy sauce (which does technically have carbs in it).

That said, you can find the ingredients on Amazon and it does list white sugar, tapioca starch, and roast sesame (presumably seeds), all of which are carbs.

Love spicy food.

Every time I go to my local Korean market, I buy a big thing of kimchi and a pack of fire ramen.

Start by boiling the noodles, then sautée onions, garlic, kimchi and whatever meat I may have, add the hot sauce, add the noodles and some noodle water, and stir fry. Then add a raw egg and mix it kind of creating a carbonara sauce with the ramen. I'll then spoon in some hemp hearts, sesame seeds, and some chopped nori and mix it up.

Super spicy, but it's my go to quick meal right now.

Why don't you just buy inoculated rice koji? It's such easier.

Use this with fresh rice in a rice cooker with the lid off. Usually stays around thw right temp with a moist towel or cheesecloth hung over it.

I enjoy spicy foods.... I mean REALLY Spicy. When I order from a local Thai restaurant I usually order "Thai Hot". There are various levels of "Hot." For American level heat, you have 1-10. Then you have "Thai Hot".

The first of the above links is not tremendously spicy. The second is pretty spicy. Not to bad for me but my wife cannot eat it.
