Nongshim Spicy Kimchi Bowl Noodle Soup

Ottogi Ramen Bokki

If you're eating on the go, then this is worth a try!

Sorry, I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of the noodles too.

The noodles are the standard Japanese ramen noodles that you see in brands like Top Ramen or Sapporo Ichiban, which make for quick cooking. The dried vegetables are kimchi and green onions.


The noodles and vegetables are cooked in the container, and I used about 3/4 of the packet of soup base. The noodles and vegetables are well cooked in 3-4 minutes. The broth brings out the fizzy and slightly sour taste that comes with eating kimchi that's been sitting in your fridge for a month or two (it's still edible, I swear). It's very realistic, and I enjoyed it a lot.

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

Available at: Palama Supermarket, Walmart & Safeway

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...
