Ramen Juice, Yay or Nay!

I was making a cup of ramen and I always drain all the juice soupy stuff before I eat it to prevent mouth scalding. :)
In my mind it seems kind of weird, but what do you guys think. :)

Does anyone else eat their ramen juice-free? How do you like your ramen? Or do you like Ramen in general? :razz:

Noodles non broken, eaten with broth, broth swallowed afterwards.

What the heck? That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard.

I tweak my ramen...put in vegetables and sometimes beef, pork, or chicken...thicken the broth slightly with cornstarch...ahhh.....oishii desu!

I drank it all the time when I was a kid, stopped for years for the same reason you do, and now I've started drinking it again cause it is nice. I just put an ice cube or two in there at first so it gets cooler faster. Or at least I am deluded enough to think that it does.

Yeah that's why I don't like the juice, but I don't like it to get to squishy. Sometimes I'll put it in the freezer for a bit but then it's just odd. :greenie:

I don't eat the stuff often, but when I do I'll drain most of the juice. You have to leave some so the noodles don't go dry, but I like spoonfulls of noodles and not flavored water.

i curl up all the noodles with the chopsticks and have a mouthful. i always like to drink the hot soup last.

I eat my ramen mostly juice-free. I leave just a little bit so that the ramen won't get too dry.

You eat noodles with a spoon..? and whats wrong with flavored water? Most liquid "flavorers" are made of water.

i drain it for sure

There is way too much salt in the ramen soup base for me to even think of consuming it. Actually, I like cooking the noodles and leaving the packet thingy out all together, which is what I did for dinner tonight.

this posts reminds me of my first year at high school. There was an instant-ramen machine or something that, for a dollar, would dispense a cup of instant noodles of your choice. I always got the shrimp because I like shrimp. Then you put it in a special compartment and it would fill the cup with hot water. Used to be all I ate at lunch, until I got sick of it. I used to drink the juice once the noodles were gone 'cause it tasted good.

I keep the juice for last after finishing the noodles :p But too much is bad since it tastes too diluted then :p

Heck yay!

I have, however, once had noodles cooked with pre-cooked sausages in the same pot, and then you drain the pot afterwards... it was surprisingly nice. This is what you do when you're a bunch of 12-13 year old guys camping in the middle of nowhere. I think we drank the juice seperately in a cup or something. I forget.
