I have tried using instant ramen before on a hike, in fact I always use it as my emergency meal, hoever have never found it particularly satisfying. Hence the thought to use some ‘heartier’ noodles with just the seasoning. Still haven’t thought of a good way to include pork, I tried pork floss but it’s too sweet, merits some more pondering!
I particularly love the black garlic oil tonkotsu ramen from the Nissin brand, I have very occasionally seen it in woolies, but can generally be found really cheap in asian supermarkets. If you want an egg, there are several options:
- I have taken the risk and pre-hard boiled before but obviously this is very risky and I only did it on a hike where temps weren’t really above 5 degrees and it was only out of the fridge for a day.
- Salted eggs (made yourself or bought at an asian supermarket) I believe have an out of fridge life of about a week (double check this though). I love eating these from the 7⁄11 in Japan, but have yet to actually try them in the ramen, just an idea I have had but not yet been able to try
- Uncooked eggs I believe have a longer shelf life out of the fridge (though again have not tested this), and you can buy plastic egg cartons online to carry these in to minimise risk of breaking, and then boil on trail.
Detailed nutrition
I am basing this on the black garlic oil tonkotsu ramen nutrition info. Remember to replace the instant ramen noodles with actual dry ramen noodles. If you are including the egg, I would reduce the amount of noodles to about 90g. Note, however, this does give an increased weight with minimal energy increase (though much more protein).
