The best thing about that is that you save the flavor packet. Then, next time you make popcorn, you put some butter on the popcorn and then use the flavor packet as seasoning. Start with half; it’s powerful ju-ju.
But it makes the most amazing popcorn. We now scavenge ramen packages for the seasoning packets, and eat the noodles dry only secondarily; we’re really after the seasonings.
Big upvote for sharing the single quirkiest food tip I’ve read all… year, really. There’s unique, and then there’s “I buy ramen and eat it dry to season my popcorn.” Cooks all over can only envy your genius.
You do know you can buy the chicken powder separately, right? Like, you can get oxo cubes in the soup aisle. The filipina made ones from the asian store are better though.
chicken powder separately
Unfortunately, the ones around here aren’t all that great. Going by a ramen packet right now, it looks like this “Maruchan” version probably has more spices and dehydrated veggies than the straight chicken powder. Also, methinks the OXO cubes would be pretty hard to sprinkle over popcorn(!)
That said, there’s all kinds of great popcorn toppings (store bought and homemade), so I don’t suspect it’s a big problem.
Best croutons that aren’t bread. Crumble and put over salads fruit veggie or otherwise is awesome for some texture depth.
I did until my cousin died from lukemia.
I used to make a huge mess with them everywhere.
My dad told me, that dried Noodles like that gave you lukemia and that’s what killed my cousin.
I’ve never done it again, even though I know my dad lied to me
