Others have already pointed out that the dry ones are fried. I assume
the other ones are the fresh noodles in a bag. Super 88, Yoshinoya,
Kotobukiya, etc... all sell them. I think they are a little better (if
not healthier) than the dried ones but they get their yellow color from
artificial food coloring. Better ramen noodles have egg yolks. You can
make them at home if you have a pasta machine. They are not only easy
to make (read fast) but delicious and wholesome.
