Ottogi Ramen Bokki

Ottogi Ramen Bokki
If you're a fan of tteokbokki (떡뽁이 - spicy rice cakes), then give this a try!

Tteokbokki is one of, if not the most popular street foods of Korea. This ramen attempts to combine the sweet and spicy flavors of tteokbokki with ramen noodles.

Contents (from top to bottom, left to right): Dried vegetables (green onions), sauce and noodles



The noodles and vegetables are cooked in the container, using hot water and then drained through a spout in the lid. I only used about 3/4 of the sauce in the packet and it was still very flavorful. It isn't in the picture, but if you have some string cheese in your fridge, I highly recommend adding some of that too. It gives the ramen a nice saltiness and creaminess that goes well with the sweet-spiciness of the sauce.

On the spiciness scale, this was a 5. It was comfortably spicy,  but not overpowering.

    you've found so many different kinds of ramen! I'm so used to top ramen and cup noodle that I don't really venture out and look for different kinds of ramen, but I really want to try some of the ones you've found!

Paldo Cheese (치즈) Ramyun

Paldo Cheese (치즈) Ramyun If you like cheese and are looking for something different, then this give this a try! The Paldo brand is known for the Bul Jjamppong (불짬뽕) Ramyun, Rabokki (라볶이 - a combination of ramyun and tteokbokki, also known as spicy rice cakes), and Bibimmyeon (비빔면). Contents (from left, top to bottom): Cheese powder, soup base, dried vegetables, and noodles. The soup base has a bit of heat to it, with a hint of a seafood-like flavor (once again, anchovies). The cheese powder (stirred in after cooking) adds a slightly salty and creaminess similar to eating Cheetos Puffs, but a little sweeter. The noodles in this one are similar in thickness and chewiness to the Nongshim Kimchi Ramyun, but I think this one takes a little longer to cook. They're still excellent quality noodles though, so no worries there. (I started eating and then remembered to take the picture, so there's only a small bowl this time.) Adding cheese to ramyun (particula...

Pulmuone Spicy Beef Flavored Ramen Noodle Soup Starter

Pulmuone Spicy Beef Flavored Ramen Noodle Soup Starter (The name is so long.. -_-) If you like the flavor of beef, then this is the ramen for you. Contents (from left to right, top to bottom): Dried vegetables, Soup base and Noodles The noodles are wide and flat, one of the most common styles of noodles in instant ramen. They're very tender and chewy when cooked and due to their waviness, hold onto the flavor of the broth really well.  Dried vegetables (green onion, seaweed, carrot, pepper, shiitake mushroom) The sauce (Sorry, it looks kind of gross here.) This ramen is a little different in that the base comes as a paste instead of a powder. When I opened the packet, I was immediately hit with the smell of beef. The base is added to the pot with the noodles and vegetables. Overall, I liked this ramen. It's a nice change to have a beef-based broth as opposed to a seafood one (which is what I normally find when I buy ramen). The vegetables ...

Ottogi Cold Soy Milk Noodle (콩국수) Ramyun If you're looking for a cool, refreshing ramyun, then you may want to give this one a go! The Ottogi brand is another prominent company in the ramyun industry, with products such as Jin Ramyun, the Ppushu Ppushu snack ramyun and the Sesame Ramyun.  I decided not to eat a spicy one this week, partially because this one was on sale when I went to the store and I hadn't tried it before. The noodles were fabulously soft and chewy, as usual with most Korean ramyun. The interesting thing about this one was that I had to strain and cool the noodles after cooking them. Although since it's a cold ramyun, I suppose that's a given, haha. The broth for this ramen is prepared separately from the noodles, and uses cold water. As you can see in the picture below, it's very milky and has sesame seeds in it. Perhaps I didn't wait long enough before I ate it (in my defense, I was hungry), but the soup was very gritty...
