Suggestions for ramen better than Maruchan , please.
Rather than trying to find one that will suit you, I would recommend "creating" your own. I take the cheap ramen and open the package and put the noodles in a zip lock. Then I add the stuff I like. I buy freeze dried or dehydrated vegetable and meats and add them to the bag. I use part of the "flavor packet" but not all because that makes it too salty for me.
Trying to avoid MSG? Ramen seems to be a minefield of ingredients that don't help with our hiking. Wish I could eat it, because it tastes good.
Looking for a better brand. Dont really like the Maruchan
Lotus brand. Good for you. Bad for your wallet. Find an Asian market. Try the Korean brands.
There’s a website that reviews Ramen. Google knows.

To reduce pack volume, go to a local oriental grocery store and buy some Soman noodles. These are packaged like spaghetti (strait strips). Use a vacuum sealer and the package will be tight and strong to withstand breakage.

Interesting. I’ve only seen Lotus Ramen in better supermarkets.
For folks like me, Costco may as well be on the moon. Or actually 100+ miles away in the DFW area.
I am partial to the Japanese noodles made in Australia and sold in east Texas. I’ll dredge up the brand name.

Thai Kitchen makes some good noodles but they have only 190 calories to the package.
Growing up eating instant ramen, Maruchan is the worst I've had merely due to curiosity. First off, go to an Asian store and purchase two to four bags of anything interesting.
I grew up in Mama pork. A friend introduced me to Nissin Top Ramen cup of noodles which are great, but Nissin bags aren't the same. Mama shrimp (not creamy) has become a staple. Indomie Migoreng (not spicy) is my second staple.
Is this the Lotus ramen referred to I assume? How does the price compare to Costco?

Yes, that's the Lotus Organic Ramen that I have purchased (quite awhile ago) both in Tyler, Texas and at Earth Fare in Boone, NC. $2.00, + or -, was the price I remember. Similar to the Amazon prices.
I looked at Costco Online & found nothing for Lotus Ramen.
Chapagetti Noodles are the best tasting ramen I have tried. It's not easy to find. I reduced the water to make a spaghetti sauce consistency. I enjoyed it.
