Haha, yes. I agree. You were the one complaining about hard-to-peel nuts.
Yes I know. Thanks for the heads up. The Hiyasa chestnuts are a much different ball game than those packaged chestnuts.

I don’t know why I bought the cut watermelon today at Bristol Farms. Its something I would never do. $5 for 6 slices or a quarter of a watermelon. Crazy. But the watermelon ended up being very sweet. It was better than most of the watermelon we had this past summer.

Got those at Target as well.
How are you guys planning to spruce it up?
Get a bucket of those Hanh Phi fried red onions @TheCookie found at GCM. I’ve put some many things on the Momofuku noodles because we bought 2 packs of each flavor so we had 30 packs to get through.
My main stays are scallions, fried egg and fried sliced spam because these are things we always have on hand. One piece of advice is to use all of the sauce packet. At first it seems like a lot but the noodles absorb much of the sauce.
Other things that worked well are bean sprouts, sautéed mushrooms and corn. The only thing I would not recommend is adding on leftover chicharron which got very soggy and kinda mushy.

I found them on Amazon but they don’t look as good as the brand Sari Sari Store uses. I wonder if that company (first world trading corp) only sells in bulk. 
Think I’ll call.

Please do. 
Trader Joe’s sells “Gourmet Crispy Onion Pieces” as a seasonal item around Thanksgiving. I have a container that works in a pinch.

IKEA (of all places) has actually very good fried onions year-round in the small Swedish food selection area (normally close to the check out)

Maesri brand fried shallots are good too. I usually get them at our local Vietnamese markets.

My mom ALWAYS shredded some cabbage to put in her Nissin Ramen. I add a few more things…
Usually some wok fried tofu, Chopped Bok Choy and Mushrooms topped with Scallions and or Sesame Seeds. Stuff that in my mind will cut the saltiness the noodles or sauce… i haven’t gone out yet but I’ve been craving some Yaki Udon so I made some tonight, so here’s what typically my noodles look like.
