Like I said previously, they're available at oriental markets but quite
costly compared to "ramen", only your third site is reasonably priced,
but still not what I call "bulk"... bulk means sold loose... not
individually wraped packets, but rather in large containers/cartons,
like say 20lbs in a large plastic bag closed with a twist tie and
placed in a large cardboard carton. Were I serious about buying those
noodles in bulk I would contact an oriental restaurant supply company.
I'd peruse the Yellow Pages of a nearby large city first, before asking
Newsgroups... were I serious, obviously the OP is not, serious, were he
truly serious he'd offer an explanation for his use/"strategy"
regarding those noodles. My understanding of Newsgroups is it's a
venue where folks share, not to pick peoples brains with a parasitic
strategy.

There is likely no commercial reason to package "instant ramen" in
anything but those little cello packs. No restaurant or anyone using any
quantity would have any real need to buy them because it is trivial to
cook real noodles and also get a better result.

Not sure what your goal is but you can get noodles that aren't deep
fried and only take a little longer to cook and taste better.

If you fail to impart information then you are being mysterious... you
didn't respond to direct queries... you needed to be embarrassed to
respond positively. Seems your stategy is to produce your own ramen
for retail sales, otherwise there is no one who needs bulk ramen
noodles instead of discarding the flavor packets from ordianry ramen
packages for preparing ramen just for their own consumption... most
folks doctor ramen anyay. I knew you had an agenda. I'll tell you
now, there is no market for your product, you'd need to charge way too
much for a nebulous cheapo noodle product.

You also neglected to indicate your approximate location... don't you
realize how many query newsgroups for how to find something but never
say where they are located, gazillions! How did you expect to receive
pertinent informtaion regarding where to locate something, you could be
anywhere on the planet. DUH

Try other phone books, specifically for large cites with a substantial
oriental population; NY, LA, Chicago, Toronto, Van Couver, Montreal,
etal. are all serviced by many oriental foods wholesalers. Only
problem it may help if you speak Japanese or Chinese... sometimes the
people who answer the phones at such businesses don't speak English, or
not very well, they typically have no need to.

Don't be so rude please to those you ask a favor from.

Do yourself some googling. A dry Italian pasta which is similar to ramen is
called "fusilli." It's like spaghetti that has been loosely wound around a
dowel and dried.

Ramen is also fried in fat after making. If you want that characteristic
you could fry your fusilli in sufficient deep fat.

There the similarity ends. Fusilli is a lot coarser-cut, larger than Ramen.
They don't really compare at all in a dish.

No, it isn't similar to ramen. And that's not how it's made
nowadays.

Obviously, you've never done it and have no idea what you're
talking about. Frying Italian-style pastas wouldn't result
in anything even approaching Japanese pastas.

Save your smugness.
