Nongshim Shin Ramyun Korean Style Spicy Noodle Soup Instant Noodles, 21.16 oz / 600 g

I have been buying it quite frequently & I love it’s flavour and texture. It has the right amount of spiciness & the noodles are thick so they are filling. Personally I didn’t like it when I added eggs to it but loved it with the veggies. So if you want to enjoy it, add 1 of each red & yellow capsicum, 4-5 mushrooms, half carrot, zucchini’s, green peas & most importantly spring onions. With so much veggies 1 packet is becomes good enough for too and you don’t need to add any other spices.

Overall I felt a bit underwhelmed, especially because of the price. I’ll provide a breakdown on broth and noodles both.

The broth has a distinct taste, when you’re boiling/cooking it you’ll definitely feel a different aroma (maybe make your parents/roommates complain about the stink lol!). Part of the reason is that it has shiitake mushrooms, bok choys, and a very prominent soy flavoring. So if you’re into that kind of taste and aroma you’ll like it, if you cannot tolerate the smell of it, probably not then. The broth is moderately spicy but the heat comes mainly from black pepper and not chilli flakes or something similar. So it has a nice, slight burn that dissipates fairly quickly. Dried veggies are good and the occasional pieces of mushrooms and carrots were nice and tender. However I was a bit let down by the broth maybe because I was expecting something entirely different but this was in my opinion, very close to Nissin’s cup noodles, both in flavor and in terms of veggies. I saw a fair bit of reviews saying these are not vegetarian, but they’re wrong these noodles are DEFINITELY VEGETARIAN, it’s maybe the combination of mushroom and soy chunks that are throwing people off

Coming to noodles, they’re definitely the best part of this dish. They’re not firm, rather dense, slippery, chewy and springy. If you’re into Maggi style firm, slightly sticky noodles or like Spaghetti/hakka noodles, these are not for you. If you’re up for something different then you’ll like them.

Overall, I felt a bit disappointed because of the flavor to price ratio. Some people will disagree with me but I’d suggest that if you want identical broth then maybe Nissin cup noodles can satisfy you, but in terms of noodle texture these are definitely unique unlike most commonly available noodles in Indian markets.

So these were good, not as spicy as the Buldak you get. The flavours are great. If you wish to improvise you can add a couple of slices of cheese and an egg after the noodles are ready, and then heat it with the lid covered for a few minutes. My daughter really loved that combo.

Maybe spicy for those with low spice tolerance. Though for those with high tolerance they may not feel extra either. However the spicyness is there regardless. Flavor is pleasant, noodle jiggli-ness (is this a real term?) is also good.
Possibly better than regular Maggi (though as is with food, it is highly subjective). However these are most definitely not Bad, meaning good for trying at least once and then deciding for yourself.
