So recently I have found out that some people when they make ramen keep the water instead of straining it. I did not know this until now. I don't know whats more common and would like to know. I personally strain the water and keep the noodles

Do you keep the water so the ramen is like soup?
Do you strain the water to have it just as noodles?

 

It's soup

 

well I do it like this:

#1. the soup way
#2 the fried way (strained)
#3 the make-ramen-your-pizza-topping way (strained

 

Does this make me the odd ball?

 

naw do as you please honestly
I mean it doesn't affect me the way you like your noodles lmao.

 

Hm. Usually I drain the water

 

I do keep the water, but, I only use just enough to cook it, not enough to really make it soupy. And I don't break the noodles. I keep them long and loose.

 

I crush the noodles with my butt.

 

I don't drain the soup because I don't like my noodles dry.

Alternatively, I usually add a bowl of rice to the rest of the soup after I'm done with the noodles so I don't waste it xD

 

Don't break the noodles, pour out about half the water, put what's left in a bowl, add seasoning packet.
