1

Use separate pots for the soup & topping package and raw noodles. Don't boil the noodles in the soup.

2

Boil the soup package to the boiling point. The ideal soup temperature is 195 degrees or higher. Lukewarm soup never results in delicious ramen.

3

Use your biggest pot and use as much water as possible to boil the noodles. One serving of noodles needs half a gallon or more of boiling water.

Thin Noodles: 1-2 min;
Med Thick Noodles: 3-4 min;
Thick Noodles: 5-6 min.

4

Only after the water is completely boiled, put the noodles in. Placing the noodles in anything but boiling water destroys the texture of the noodle.

5

Drain the noodles well after boiling them. Watery noodles dilutes the soup.
