Why is there no plain cup noodles?

[leyuen]

I've been searching everywhere, in person and online but I can never find any plain cup/bowl noodles (non seasoned or no packets) but you can find plain instant ramen blocks but never in cup/bowls.

Why I'm looking for it? Well I had a thought, you know those powder instant broths or soups to be drinked in cups why can't I just use those and have a variety of different flavors that no instant noodle company is making. Yes I can buy the cup noodles where the seasoning and stuff are in packets and just not use it but then I will be left with all those packets just sitting in my kitchen or ending up throwing it into the trash which is wasting. So why is no instant cup/bowl noodles making company not making plain versions?

Use the extra seasoning packets as tips in a restaurant, they could use em.

Just...
Just cook actual noodles and add the ingredients of your liking yourself...

does it come with powder already inside or in packets?

No idea, I've never tried them, but from other some people reactions it seems it's already inside.

the point of cup noodles is to not having to cook just adding hot water and seasoning packets (which in my case soup/broth packets).

yea I'm trying to find ones without the powder seasoning already in the cup or have packets of seasoning.

That IS how you cook normal noodles, put them in boiling water for a few minutes, rinse, then add whatever you want. If what you want is plain noodles, just make actual plain noodles. Less work than the whole fiasco you seem to be describing.

Maybe you can become Japanese if you keep eating them, that's why he's trying so hard. Perhaps it's just phobia to the kitchen.

If what they want is to try out the different powdered flavors, they can just buy them alone as is, and add them to regular store bought ramen noodles.

I had instant noddles so few times that I almost don't remember how they were, except once I ate some "Volcano" ones. Yes, it was industrial spicy stuff, so I never repeated. At least they were not a USAian brand that was known for making non-digestible noddles.

Are these for work perhaps?

yes and no but yes mostly

Ah well then that makes more sense. Only thing you have accessible is the office, or college microwave I assume.

dammm I've been caught, but yea. And no I'm unable to pre cook the noodles and then bring that in a lunch box or something.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

Ah, instant ramen.
Something I can't eat.
Really ought to try cooking one with wheatshit-free noodles
