Maruchan and Top Ramen are very similar in taste. I used Maruchan ramen noodles in this recipe, but you can use any brand you like. Just be sure you’re using the dried ramen packages, not the cup of noodles kind for this recipe. Also, use the 3 ounce packages. Sapporo Ichiban brand is delicious as well, but the packages are 3.5 ounces and have more noodles.
