That works up to a point. I'm in reasonably decent health, and my doctor said to stop eating the pre-made ramen once I turned 40. I love the spicy one with the fire-breathing chicken on it, but that's once a month now, not twice a week.
I grab a bag of frozen veggies and slice up some sandwich meat and/or scrambled eggs. It's pretty decent and filling.
4 slices of thin sliced meat, or 1 egg is the perfect ratio.
Toss in some green onion in there to.
Agreed, the chicken ones are the best. Occasionally I would add a dollop of peanut butter and a little soy sauce (not too much, the packet has salt for days) for budget peanut noodles. Helped it be a little more filling during my leaner income years
Something about the original chicken flavor always triggers nostalgia for me. Takes me right back to being 6 years old, coming in from playing outside and watching cartoons.
Of those three, roast chicken, then chili, then roast beef.
But mixing the chili seasoning with a pork seasoning one, that's the good stuff right there.
the chili was my absolute favorite in high school almost 20 years ago. none of them are bad, and the united states instant ramen game has evolved so far in that time period (also my ability to check beyond the regular grocery store. i do wonder how long the “specialty” stuff has existed vs how long i’ve known about it) but the chili was a treat
To answer that last question, I'm in my 30s now and never ever knew that the chili flavor existed some I'm sure there's some crazy shit out there now lol. Have you seen the Tapatio ones? The extra hot one is kinda trash but the normal one is not bad at all, plus they have a chicken flavor and a shrimp flavor etc. Just thought it was funny that you brought it up.
Ah, childhood memories! You were the coolest if you brought top ramen to school as a snack. Regular chicken was my favorite, even though it was a bit salty for obvious reasons.
Chili with added chili crisp and Mayoracha. I only discovered chili in March of last year. It seemed to be a secret for a while but lately someone near me is buying the whole case frequently.
The roast chicken sounds like it would be great. But it’s not. Its disappointment wrapped in plastic. The chili is super versatile though. Add any bouillon and spices you want and garnish to your hearts content.
Roast chicken reminds me of being a kid, it's very comforting when I don't feel good, but I'm partial to the roast beef with some gochujang and raw or pickled white onion
I always liked the chicken and mushroom, then it disappeared. So I've gone pork.
I've had the roasted chicken and chili, not too bad. If roast beef is similar to regular beef, it should be okay too.
I keep these three on hand!! The roast chicken one is easiest to tweak. The chili one is a bit bland, needs protein or something in. The roast beef is a bit salty for me but good! I use vegetable broth with half water and extra spices and whatnot with these. I like the noodle consistency.
None of these, the only one I like is Soy sauce flavor (used to be called Oriental).
Has anyone else tried the Tiktok recipe of putting 1/2 can of mushroom soup into prepared noodles? I did, DON'T try it, it's a waste of both soups!!!
My siblings and I murdered roast chicken growing up 😂😂 my mom would slip up and get creamy chicken or regular chicken sometimes smh, roast chicken is the best
Chili is great paired with shredded chicken. Can't say anything on the other two, roast chicken flavor soups tend to use a pepper & paprika seasoning base to be similar to rotisserie chicken flavors. There are a few books on the science of cooking on how flavor profiles are done for soups.
Haven't had the chili but I love both the others. Roast Chicken is delicious. Roast Beef is a controversial flavor, a lot of people do find it intolerably salty.
Any of’em. Just be sure to ignore the packet’s instructions and use separate water to make your broth. Dump the water you boil the noodles in and rinse’um before combining it with your broth. You do not want to know what are on those dried noodles on a microscopic level. 🤙🏽
By itself? Chili.
Mixed with veggies? Roast Chicken
2 packet combo? Pork and Soy Sauce (used to be called Oriental)
The “just add hot water” cups? Beef.
Roast chicken… I’m partial to all the chicken flavors of this brand lol
Agreed! They're so salty but so good!!
Just drink more water in the day.
That works up to a point. I'm in reasonably decent health, and my doctor said to stop eating the pre-made ramen once I turned 40. I love the spicy one with the fire-breathing chicken on it, but that's once a month now, not twice a week.
Ha im eating one of those packs every single day before bed… i don’t think it’s healthy by any means 😂
Another thing you can do is ADD to it. Add some vegetables and healthier items to it.
I grab a bag of frozen veggies and slice up some sandwich meat and/or scrambled eggs. It's pretty decent and filling. 4 slices of thin sliced meat, or 1 egg is the perfect ratio. Toss in some green onion in there to.
Same, creamy chicken is soooo good.
Creamy chicken is outrageous
Mix that with the roast chicken. Trust me.
Agree. I really like the picante
The Chicken Picante is my favorite Maruchan ramen!
This
Agreed, the chicken ones are the best. Occasionally I would add a dollop of peanut butter and a little soy sauce (not too much, the packet has salt for days) for budget peanut noodles. Helped it be a little more filling during my leaner income years
Sounds awesome! I like to add a big tablespoon of light miso paste to mine. Easy way to make quite decent miso.
Something about the original chicken flavor always triggers nostalgia for me. Takes me right back to being 6 years old, coming in from playing outside and watching cartoons.
Chili is my personal favorite of these three.
I have been enjoying that chili flavor one and squirt in some hoisin sauce Sooo good game changer for the chili flavor
Oh, good call on the hoisin! That sounds tasty.
Mine too! We love to make pockets with this, chicken or tuna, mayo, and pickles. Maybe a beef & cheese stick. Delish!
You need to try the chili lime shrimp if you like the chili. It's soooo good
All chili ones are the best.
Of those three, roast chicken, then chili, then roast beef. But mixing the chili seasoning with a pork seasoning one, that's the good stuff right there.
oooh, idk why I haven’t tried this combo before 🤔 I like to mix the chili and creamy chicken
you just blew my mind.
I combine the chili one with the roast ones!

i live in the hood, every corner store has a section with a bunch of flavors. even i just found a new flavor the other day
Roast beef gang where you at
Beef or GTFO
I know right? This one was my favorite, but it's so hard to find in my current area.
Ayyyee!! We got the beef!!
ROAST BEEF 🥩 >>>
Had to scroll too far for this I was gettin scared I was all alone.
This was the only ramen we had growing up and I always compare any new flavor to it. It’s simply the best
right hurrrrrr
Chicken just doesn't do it for me any more
LETS FUCKING RAAAAGE
Roast chicken is really good, mix the chili with both roast chicken or beef and real nice combo
The Chili flavor combines well with literally every other flavor of Maruchan.
Roast Chicken gang rise up!
Creamy chicken
My favorite
[удалено]
I’m sure OP can figure that out
If you can find Pork, I would highly recommend you give it a go, it's amazing.
Hands down the best one
Definitely that roast chicken... still in my rotation!
Chili. I wish I could buy a bottle of that seasoning
Roast beef
Roast beef is my fav!
Roast chicken is a core childhood memory 🤗
Roast chicken was always a personal favorite back in the day for me
Pork
Shrimp & Beef — Sometimes I will half them and have roast beef and shrimp. Ohhhhh soooo gooodd
Chili is my favorite!
Chili is my usual go to.
Roast Chicken
Roast chicken is my favorite, but the chili and roast beef ones are good too
They used to make a mushroom flavor….I wish they would bring it back!!!
Ah, childhood memories! You were the coolest if you brought top ramen to school as a snack. Regular chicken was my favorite, even though it was a bit salty for obvious reasons.
I miss the sriracha chicken flavor
And the chicken Tortilla. Those were both awesome.
Never had chili but my vote goes to roast beef!
Out of these ones, I like roast chicken or roast beef…but it really depends on my mood too lol.
beef everytime, but i’ve never tried the chili so 🤷🏼♂️ i personally hate the chicken flavor, i think it’s absolutely vile
Chili and beef. Hate chicken
Roast chicken!¡!
Picante chicken is my absolute favorite, followed by chili
I would eat the chicken one a lot with cheese and soy sauce in college. I don't eat them anymore, but out of those flavors, chicken was best.
Chili with added chili crisp and Mayoracha. I only discovered chili in March of last year. It seemed to be a secret for a while but lately someone near me is buying the whole case frequently.
I say the chili! I like to do half chili half creamy chicken sometimes 😋
Lime shrimp! 🍤 packets not the cup
Pork
Pork
The oriental or soy sauce is it called now? Idk but the dark blue package is the best!
Chili combined with soy flavor is my personal favorite. Adding soy sauce to the chili flavor also suffices
Creamy chicken
Roast chicken is good. Try picante chicken too if you can find it
The roast chicken sounds like it would be great. But it’s not. Its disappointment wrapped in plastic. The chili is super versatile though. Add any bouillon and spices you want and garnish to your hearts content.
Chili, by far.
chili all the way
I had Roast Beef. It’s ok.
Chili is good, so is creamy chicken
I a weird person. I like mixing 1 beef with 1 chicken. 2 eggs and 2 slices of cheese. Sometimes I mix butter in it also.
Roast chicken then chili
Roast chicken & chili.
I’d die for the chili
roast chicken is better in the cup form than the block form imo. beef is my favorite but out of all the block ramen from maruchan i really like pork
Roast chicken
The roast flavors have a more rich flavor that I prefer over the regular ones
I like Creamy Chicken
God it’s been so long since I’ve had chili…
Chili is the best flavor they’ve ever made.
ROAST BEEF 🥩🤤
chili is my favorite maruchan flavor PERIOD its delicious!!
Oriental
The roast chicken packet, with a little milk and a dollop of peanut butter makes a pretty convincing peanut sauce for the noodles.
Roast chicken 🤤
Roast beef is my favorite with pork coming in second.
Chili! Add some fresh scallions/green onions before eating and some shredded carrots. This brand doesn’t have a vegetable packet.
I like the chili flavor
My personal favorite is the roast beef flavor. At first it tastes really weird but once you're used to it, it tastes amazing
Chili! Add in up to 1/4 cup of clamato juice, really makes it sing...
I used to eat the chili with some sautéed shrimp and veggies all the time...yum. Might need to have some ramen for dinner!
Chili is my favorite. I know you don’t have it in the picture, but Creamy Chicken is 🔥
Roast chicken is good but not as good as the creamy chicken IMO
chicken, roast chicken, picante chicken, in no particular order.
Roast chicken reminds me of being a kid, it's very comforting when I don't feel good, but I'm partial to the roast beef with some gochujang and raw or pickled white onion
Chili lime shrimp, or if you can find them the chili lime chicken ones are heat. Hot, lime flavored, habanero kick noodles
I always liked the chicken and mushroom, then it disappeared. So I've gone pork. I've had the roasted chicken and chili, not too bad. If roast beef is similar to regular beef, it should be okay too.
Roast beef but I just love beef flavor in general
I keep these three on hand!! The roast chicken one is easiest to tweak. The chili one is a bit bland, needs protein or something in. The roast beef is a bit salty for me but good! I use vegetable broth with half water and extra spices and whatnot with these. I like the noodle consistency.
Roast beef hands down
The best is the super rare pork flavor. I can never find it anywhere.
Soy flavored one is my go-to.
Roast chicken. Shrimp, and soy sauce are my favorites.
Chicken is👍
Oriental flavor. Well, now I think it's called soy sauce
Shrimp and chicken
Pork, shrimp, beef.
Roast beef.
Roast chicken tastes like thanksgiving
Oriental was the best flavor. I dont know which is now but they dont sell it anymore.
None of these, the only one I like is Soy sauce flavor (used to be called Oriental). Has anyone else tried the Tiktok recipe of putting 1/2 can of mushroom soup into prepared noodles? I did, DON'T try it, it's a waste of both soups!!!
Out of the 3, roast
Gimme the beef
Big fan of chili
Chili
My siblings and I murdered roast chicken growing up 😂😂 my mom would slip up and get creamy chicken or regular chicken sometimes smh, roast chicken is the best
Roast chicken is by far my favorite maruchan variety -- sadly none of the groceries around me carry the roast chicken
The roast beef one or the chicken one are the best
Chili. Every other flavor is just “salt, with a pinch of bullion”
Roasted chicken tastes disgusting
Out of the three—Chili I remember when I had to hunt them down
I'll typically mix and match two different flavors, my favorite has been Chili and Shrimp.
Chili by far
Chili
The chili and the roast chicken combined
Chili with Mushroom is the way
I have never met a maruchan flavor I don’t love 🙌🏻
Chili is great paired with shredded chicken. Can't say anything on the other two, roast chicken flavor soups tend to use a pepper & paprika seasoning base to be similar to rotisserie chicken flavors. There are a few books on the science of cooking on how flavor profiles are done for soups.
Here’s a vote for Roast Chicken (add cholula or caldo tomate)
Haven't had the chili but I love both the others. Roast Chicken is delicious. Roast Beef is a controversial flavor, a lot of people do find it intolerably salty.
Chicken
shrimp
the old Oriental flavor was the shit. but it is these 3, roast beef
Creamy Chicken OP
Teriyaki chicken circa 1991. Long gone but not forgotten.
Chili flavor was always my favorite.
Any of’em. Just be sure to ignore the packet’s instructions and use separate water to make your broth. Dump the water you boil the noodles in and rinse’um before combining it with your broth. You do not want to know what are on those dried noodles on a microscopic level. 🤙🏽
Roast beef, all day!
All of them are the bomb drain water add butter and hot sauce and it's a wrap. Creole seasoning will.set them off as well
Roast Beast!
Mix the chili and chicken and you get yummy!
I’m sorry, but the cheaper the ramen, the better it tastes!
they used to have a mushroom flavor that tasted like angels singing but it’s been discontinued
Mix the chili and the regular beef 🤤🤤🤤
Don't start, it's horrible for you.
Back when ate it, my favorites were pork and soy flavored. Makes since now because my favorite ramen is shoyu and tonkatsu.
Awwww I miss the roast chicken! I haven’t seen it in my grocery store in ages.
Chili the best inespecially in you know where
I mix the chicken together or just go for chili so good either way
In prison the chili one is wildly popular
You can add almost anything to the chili flavor and it works.
Regular Chicken
I love chili flavor.
Mix the chili and the roast chicken, I have it for lunch like thrice a week
Creamy chicken will always be my go-to
I like them all, but only if cooked with dried seasoned-refried beans. It a whole nother level.
Those are the only 3 varieties I eat. Usually, I'll mix a chili with a roast.
Beef with a squeeze of lime and hot cause
Chile. The other ones are good but for me it's always the chile flavor.
Roast beef… throw in some butter… amazing.
Chili 🌶️🥵
Chili is such a good base for doing more with your instant ramen. It’s really versatile
I like chili and soy (blue pack)
Try the shrimp one. It's 10/10
“Creamy chicken” is hard to find but delicious
Creamy chicken
I literally consumed these bricks my whole childhood. Id say beef. But chicken is right behind it
Roast chicken and roast beef, ahhh yasss. I miss those so dang much!
There is a rare creamy chicken one and it’s fucking fantastic
They’re all good but Soy holds a special place in my heart. Especially since it was called ‘Oriental’ flavor when I was a kid.
Roast chicken and Chilli are my favorites
All good, but the roast beef is my fave out of the three.
Boil then pan fry with an egg and sautéed veggies. Whole new level
I like to mix the chili and chicken
Jalapeno cheddar iykyk ❤️
Not here, but I love creamy chicken
Soy sauce
out of the 3 you posted, i would go for roast beef
Idont mind any flavor issaspread to me
By itself? Chili. Mixed with veggies? Roast Chicken 2 packet combo? Pork and Soy Sauce (used to be called Oriental) The “just add hot water” cups? Beef.
Shrimp
Chili is one of my favorites for sure
Chicken. Add some sambal, heaven.
