Many years ago, both Nissin and Maruchan included bits of dehydrated egg in their cup noodles. Anyone remember?This went away sometime in the '90s but you can recreate it by just scrambling 1 egg beforehand and adding it.
I ate the cup noodles from both brands throughout the early and mid-90s and never encountered egg bits. Not even in the won ton cups nissin had for a while. I'm in the US so maybe it was different elsewhere.
>>21594816Your memory may be faulty. I ate these throughout the '80s and '90s and there was definitely both egg (and some dehydrated meat bits) up until sometime in the '90s. The cup said "Oriental Noodles with Vegetables and Egg".
>>21594807>This went away sometime in the '90s but you can recreate it by just scrambling 1 egg beforehand and adding it.the water doesn't cook the egg all the way through. This is how you get slimy eggs only the Japanese like.
>>21594817Can confirm, they had them in the 80s and 90s.>>21594823Get your water to a full boil before adding the egg, sounds like you're tempering the eggs slowly.
sure are a lot of "oldfag" larping retards in this thread. all cup noodles are trash. picrel is the only ramen you need
>>21594823the heat of the noodles cooks the egg
I lived in the US in the late 80s, early 90s, went back to yurp and returned to the US in the late 90s.I noticed a lot of junk food changed for the worse or simply disappeared. While I don't remember eggs in cup noodles, I recall Maruchan or Nissin having a crab flavour noodles in a pale, baby blue packet. It was my favourite but discontinued by the time I moved back. Nutella in the late 80s was proper stuff. It might've been because my parents were buying it from the euro shop by by the time we moved back, every supermarket carried it and it tasted weird. Turns out, they added palm oil cuz it's cheap but didn't lower the price. And I just remembered something silly and only barely food related; I was thinking the other day how the hell they fit so many damn varieties of the same brand on shelves these days. I just realised that is because in the 80s and 90s, lots of supermarkets had huge video rental sections. With those gone by the time we moved back, they had lots of space to add more junk. Anyway, you can still find the eggs in Asian Cup Noodles. The pepper crab one from Hong Kong, for example, has it.
>>21594817Wikipedia says Nissin removed the dehydrated egg from Cup'o'noodles in the early 80s, but I know I was getting egg in whatever brand I was buying for years after that. I do recall being annoyed at the drop in quality with Nissin and looking for alternatives.
Did the beef Cup Noodles taste tobacco-y to anyone else? I absolutely fucking despised how awful the dehydrated beef tasted. Shrimp or nothing.
>>21596237Not really, but beef was still my least favorite. 100% agree shrimp was the best.
>>21594807>ground white pepperThis man ramens
>>21596191If I dont buy cup noodles then where else would i use my noodle stopper i bought from nippon?
>>21597904True. Carry on.
