“Suanne asks: Do you know if the chicken spice (packet) is sold separately from the noodles? If you do, where can I purchase this from?” From: Buying Just the Ramen Flavor Packets? | The Official Ramen Homepage
I am so, so glad that I am not alone in this particular desire. Yes, I’ve tried those little Herb-Ox packets, but they don’t taste the same, dammit! Also, they’re a little pricey. The ramen flavor packs, sold separately, would have to be cheaper, right? They’ll certainly shorten your lifespan* so they’ll save you money on retirement, too!
*This is a joke, I do not actually claim that eating ramen will shorten your life. Conversely, I am not claiming that it won’t either. I smoked cigarettes for almost twenty years, I am not to be trusted when it comes to information about health.
Drat. Wish you lived closer. My roommate makes ramen noodles and throws away the packets.

Ah darn, that’s too bad. I feel compelled to ask, though: what *do* they flavor their ramen with?

Last time I checked, they had procured a food dehydrater and were dicing up green onions, green peppers, eggplant, and cellery, dehydrating the little pieces, putting them into a coffee grinder, and making their own powder out of that stuff. I think they throw some lard into the broth too, which I haven’t messed with. The powder though, along with some hot chili sesame oil, is pretty good in my lentil soup.

That sounds incredibly delicious!

It was initially part of an attempt to have some easy vegetable matter that wouldn’t go bad for a camping trip food plan, but has graduated into household fare.
