why isn't ramen with spaghetti or bolognese sauce a thing? ramen noodles are a lot tastier than pasta by a long shot.
anyone who believes in tradition is holding us back and needs to be euthanized

Ramen noodle is designed to soak up the soup. My Italian friend will shoot me on the spot if I cook my pasta with the sauce.

I've done that, the spaghetti tastes so much better when it's taken out of the boiling water and cooked further with the sauce.
>>9134258
Well yes that's proper way to make spaghetti. What I'm saying is you don't BOIL the noodle with the sauce, which is integral step of making ramen. [spoiler] I'm not even Italian but I do understand their hatred against one pan pasta [/spoiler]

instant yakisoba is cooked and drained. mixing the cooked noodles with the flavor packet is the last step.
so technically, it would be yakisoba with bolognese, but who cares, it's the same thing.

I wouldn't consider yakisoba as a ramen, instant or not. When someone says ramen, pic related spicy gooky noodle and Japanese miso ramen comes to my mind. Ramen's main selling point is that you can taste the deep flavor of soup inside of noodle as you literally marinate the ramen noodle with the soup while boiling it. Spaghetti's pasta is nothing more than a vessel that delivers the sauce to your mouth. You don't want them to be soaked with tomato sauce. You don't want the flavor of the sauce to dominate the hints of taste of egg inside noodle. That's why you boil them with salt right? Yakisoba like instant sphagetti does sound interesting tho

Too stupid to believe.

I would love to try it, but it's very different from actual pasta sauce with noodles.

Most cheap instant ramen tells you to add the seasoning packet after boiling. At least Maruchan and Top Ramen do.

maybe the noodle paste is different?

A lot of the Korean instant noodles do have you boil the noodles with the seasoning packets.
I'm just talking about the really cheap stuff that most Americans buy, the like 6+ packs for a dollar stuff. All of those have to boil the noodles and then add the (single) seasoning packet.
I always thought this stuff would be like instant spaghetti, but apparently it takes 15 minutes to make and tastes like utter shit. I've never seen anyone buy the stuff, never seen it in anyone's pantry, but somebody must buy it because it still exists.

Cheapest one I could find in Japan was this 'chicken ramen'. It doesn't have seasoning packets, the noodle itself is already seasoned and all you have to do is boil it. And yes for some reason most of Japanese instant ramen instructed me to pour in the sauce after cooking the noodle, which really triggered me as a gook myself.
>>9134294
You're not supposed to cook the noodles in the soup, for real ramen anyway.

>why don't people mix ramen and spaghetti sauce
>we should purge the gene pool of the ignorant
Well that's certainly wasn't the first thing that came to my mind
