I prefer most all my instant ramen to be semi-dry. I dont drain the water, I just boil in much less water than normal, so that noodles absorb most of the water and by the time it's poured into a bowl and cooled enough to eat, there's only a slight bit of water/soup at the bottom. Way more flavor for noodles that way.

I gotta agree with everyone, the Buldak should’ve had way less water. Though, I would put those in their own category anyways since they’re more of a stir-fried noodle, and I still think they’d be beat out by Indomie (if featured.) Best highdea I’ve ever had was putting some kewpie, corn, fresh squeezed lime juice (and some zest,) and cotija on the 2X spicy Buldak. Basically elote ramen 🤌🏽 If we’re going ramen with broth, Shin Black is probably my favorite that’s available in pretty much every grocery store around.
