Slate Food and Drink Editor L.V. Anderson joins Dan to debate ideal ramen cooking methods, broth-to-noodle-ratio, and flavor packet usage.
Plus L.V. explains what curly hair can teach you about ramen while Dan lays out The Ramen Code and introduces several new techniques for ramen preparation, including one that produces multi-textured ramen in the same bowl and another that lets you make your own flavor packet.
Also, Dan, L.V. and a caller from Alaska discuss the proper use of the word "vegetarian".
