It's a little hard to get a good bowl of ramen these days. Ideally, you
should have a big pot of bowling water to cook the noodles for a few
minutes and a fishnet thingie to get then out at the right moment. The
noodles should be cooked to order and you should never have the cooked
noodles sitting around for any amount of time. The idea of soggy noodles
give me the creeps. I'm not too particular about the broth - just give
me some properly cooked noodles and I'm happy.

Well I like ramen and I like kimchee. This dish sounds good. My haole
wife and brother-in-laws that are visiting from the mainland like a good
kimchee too. They were raised by a Korean step-mom. I have a couple of
bowls of instant Kimchee ramen in the back of my office and just
thinking about that stuff is making me sweat. That's hot stuff - those
Koreans are crazy! I'll take some home to my in-laws and see how they
like it. That should be fun... :-)
