I fear these are absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of salt and acid, but also somehow rich? I added some chopped Grillo's and honestly it was gilding the lily. 9/10, one of the best instant ramens I've ever had, will probably buy a bunch more.

there’s this cool thing where we have machines that emit radiation which creates dipolar polarization in water molecules at about 2.45 GHz. And they heat up food. Actually invented by a Brit but he was probably chemically castrated or burned at the stake or some such before we commercialized it.
