I would have to believe not a legit company like Colgate-Palmolive. Probably a non-brand sold in those stores where everything costs a dollar.

Back up to the top! What is everyone eating that isn't [flash] fried ramen? I had Koyo a few weeks back, and it wasn't bad in terms of texture--a bit less chewy, but still good. Someone brought home a package of millet/rice ramen, and while okay, it seems like they didn't really wash it before/after processing, as the bowl slowly turns into goo after you cook it (and someone needs you for 'just a second'), and the ends, especially, stick together/don't cook all the way. I figure if I can keep the fat/calorie content a bit lower, I can have it more often.
I've been enjoying my ramen with leftover pieces of meat (fish, ham, beef, pork, whatever), usually with an egg, topped off with furikake. I add several dashes of Franks to bring the heat up, as the chili pepper flakes seem to have wandered off. Nobody seems to use the dried goods in the house, but it doesn't seem to stop them from disappearing, either...time to break the dehydrator back out, I guess.
Thoughts?

what's worse is that some noodles contain tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), a petroleum industry byproduct used as a food preservative. It's not digestible and has zero nutritional value, it's used to keep the noodles fresh. They have found this in the stomach and intestine walls in autopsies for unknown deaths.

I've actually been eating more dried noodles like Soba or fresh noodles, not instant, but really doesn't take long to cook
They are about 2-3 dollars a bag and about 2-3 servings in each. So $1 per isn't bad, it also lets you make your own seasonings.

I always thought chewy and dried don't go together with pasta/noodles. At least, that's been my experience. I've only ever found fresh udon to be chewy.
If you're ever in Princeton, stop at Tomo. They make a killer seafood udon.

You mean thick ramen or the fat white noodles which are usually refrigerated? I've seen the dry straight thin ones packaged like soba, but all reviews note that they are not chewy. I stopped getting the cold variety because mostly they are made overseas and if the cold chain shipping is poor the noodles have a moldy smell.
I like two fresh noodles companies out of NYC, this one is from Brooklyn and there is also a thicker version as well as an udon. They keep in the fridge for weeks or months in the freezer. They can be found for about $2 at the Chinese grocery stores.
We don't buy them dried but buy them frozen at any Asian store.
