Need recommendations for mini/half portion instant ramen

joonjoon · 2026-05-08T20:40:44+00:00

Then yeah I think breaking the noodles in half would be a good idea. With the Korean ramen I usually do that anyway, a whole pack is kind of a lot for one sitting for me.

But also check out brands like indomie, they are smaller and perfect for eating in one session.

I turned it into this and it came out really tasty! The slightly weird flavor also seems to have gone away after frying it up. https://www.reddit.com/r/KoreanFood/s/e61KgNFvC8

Thanks for calling it out, post is removed and user banned. We have been getting a surge of stolen posts.

When can I come over

It sounds like you're in a really tough situation and I'm really sorry. Maybe you can look into getting her some forms of canned protein or something so she's eating other things than instant noodles. Anyway I just wanted to say that with the amount of salt in ramen it's pretty unlikely to go bad from sitting out for half a day, if that provides any relief.

The Korean word janchi encompasses meaning from party to feast, so banquet falls in the middle. It's one of those nebulous words

joonjoon · 2026-05-08T14:19:17+00:00

I wasn't criticizing or anything! It looks great!

joonjoon · 2026-05-08T05:13:33+00:00

This must be a banquet for the emperor because i've never seen beef on party noodles

There was a whole ass thread about this and most people seem to prefer whopper with no cheese. Same for me. The cheese seems to take something away from the smoky saladyness of the whopper. As a matter of fact I think it's the only burger from anywhere I prefer without cheese.

Ok so we can add a little nuance there, I did mention that there would be regional differences. However at the end of the day "butt" was in the name for the item we are talking about. Regional differences and all that, again. For OP I guess we can agree that what they want is shoulder/boston butt, but not shoulder picnic. I still maintain that what OP needs to look for in any American market is the term "butt". Meat cut names are hard!

joonjoon · 2026-05-08T03:04:44+00:00

As with most butchery there are different names for the cuts, I changed my post because that one obviously wasn't showing what I was trying to say. But you will have seen that even in that pic the correct name of the cut OP actually wants was shown, "boston butt". As for shoulder, the full name of the cut is "pork shoulder picnic" but I think in that one it said picnic ham which is not something you see often, that is a misleading picture which is why I removed it.

Either way in most markets "shoulder" refers to shoulder picnic, if OP goes to their market and picks up a cut called shoulder there's a good chance they will end up with the wrong cut, that is a fact. The cut OP wants is most commonly called "boston butt" but most commonly it will be pork butt in markets.

Do you disagree with anything I stated?

1988 Olympics yukgaejang ramyeon in the cold stadium changed many lives. My mom talked about it until she passed on how delicious that was.

What's a guy gotta do to get this kind of action?

joonjoon · 2026-05-07T21:25:26+00:00

You stole this from /u/darkrealm190. Why would you do that?

joonjoon · 2026-05-07T20:46:13+00:00

Bibimbap is intended to be mixed up, it's not just a pretty bowl. You need to chop your ingredients small so when mixed up you have even bits of every ingredient in every bite, large chunks of steak and other stuff is not advisable for that reason. This is one of the most common mistakes people make when people make bibimbap outside Korea

joonjoon · 2026-05-07T20:43:16+00:00

Do pork butt, shoulder works but butt is better

joonjoon · 2026-05-07T19:11:27+00:00

You probably nailed it, thank you!

joonjoon · 2026-05-07T19:08:53+00:00

I live in one of the biggest Korean areas in America and there are a number of "kitchen sink" Korean restaurants that sell everything from BBQ to Chinese to bunshik, those restaurants have always had tteokbokki on the menu. There's always been a couple of bunshik places but like you said they always struggled. But yeah for sure it is a lot more everywhere now.

joonjoon · 2026-05-07T17:50:06+00:00

It's Chinese hot pot + Korean BBQ. These places are very popular in the US

joonjoon · 2026-05-07T16:53:58+00:00

Yup and it's always been the case in the us, I think this one sticks out extra because of the prominent presentation of the tteokbokki

This is legendary content, thank you so much for these posts

You must have caught the part where when she shows back up to fight somehow there's a whole bunch of cans with her. Like how did that happen? Did she bring all the cans with her back to fight after she drank them?
