I really want to eat ramen (like Naruto) and dango (like Itachi)

I want to eat that. Can you give them for me? Or tell me where I find it in shopping.

Thanks ^^

You can get ramen almost anywhere. XD Cup noodles, not so much~ I go to a local Thai grocery store for that. :O

Dango... I'm not sure. Either a specialty food store/ethnic food store...

Ramen.... Pretty much everywhere. You can buy it pre packaged, and you boil water and throw it in for like 3 minutes and eat.

Or you can buy cups that you add boiling water to, and again let sit for like 3 minutes.

Nissin and Maruchan are the two most common brands (in the US).

They have some interesting varieties of cup ramen at Meijers in the international food aisle. I've never tried them, but they sure look tasty XD

Don't know where you can get dango, but I found a recipe through google lol

Here! (http://www.recipezaar.com/120390)

Meijer is specific to the mid-west.

Which means we're neighbors!

I'm in West Michigan. Where are you???

I'm a little north of Detroit :D

Some Japanese restaurants have ramen and possibly dango. I know the sushi bar I work at has ramen. Might want to give those a try.

I don't know what kinds of grocery stores they have in the Emirates, but I'm sure you can find ramen! I'm sure that regular ramen is also halal. If there's an international grocery store that you can shop at, you might be able to find it! Dango might be a bit harder, but I bet if you went to eat at a Japanese restaurant, you could order it! ^___^

My suggestion for ramen is not to use the flavor packet that comes with, but to customize it and make whatever you want for yourself. A lot of people don't realize that you don't have to use the flavors. I'm Asian, so I grew up throwing random shit into my ramen. Generally I make the ramen, crack an egg and throw that in (but I leave the yolk runny). Then I get extra dark soy sauce, a bit of sesame oil, and some rice vinegar, mix them together in my bowl, strain out 75% of the water, dump the rest in, and mix.

If I have some leftover seaweed I'll add that, as well as any tofu, bean sprouts, veggies, or meats I have in my fridge. Ramen is the ultimage smorgasbord food.

Dango you will be able to find at an Asian or Japanese grocery. It really depends on your tastes. The kind of dango eaten in Naruto is generally the salty kind with a sweetened soy sauce (dango is made of rice, so it is glutinous and sticky and chewy). I prefer sweet dango with red bean paste in the middle, so I tend to buy that more.

I love customizing ramen. I picked up the habit from my friend who's family is from Singapore. I usually throw in brown sugar, cayenne pepper, curry paste, Louisiana Sauce, shrimp and water chestnuts. The great thing about ramen is the you can put literally ANYTHING in it and it still tastes awesome. ♥

Well dang, brown sugar and Louisiana sauce, that's a crazy combo. Cajun style ramen!

By the way, how goes the Naruto Legends project?
