Instant noodles are very popular in Poland

I've been eating Shirataki noodles (which are super low calorie, high fiber noodles from Japan made from Konjac plants) to eat my instant ramen as I'm trying to stick to a lower calorie & lower carb diet. I've found that it works perfectly with saucy ramens like Buldak Carbonara and it perfectly scratches the itch for me whilst being able to stick to my goals! Bumps up the price a bit, but still decent price for a meal imo.

And don't worry, my family use the noodle brick to make homemade noodles so its not going to waste.

After realizing I am borderline becoming addicted to MSG and seeing the sodium count in my favorite ramen, I am going down the path of these ramen seasonings. The only one I have found so far is the HOXY chicken flavor and I have to say it is pretty good. Not spicy AT ALL, but I have always liked to use my own hot sauces and seasonings to get the level of spice that I like anyway.

Additionally I have a TON of packs of flavors that I bought to try and didn't like so it gives me a great way to use the noodles and not waste them.

HOXY is good, but not amazing. I am fine with it as it is 100mg sodium per serving compared to over 2000mg in some cases.

I may end up being the guinea pig and just buying as many as I can find on amazon and I will report back, but it would be great to hear anyone's experiences too with these products and what is good and what is not, and why. So if you have tried any, let me know your experience and the level of spicy, also would be good to know your current favorite flavors of traditional ramen to base the tastes off. Thanks!

Bonus if you have opinions on the ramen toppings/dried vegetable packs as well I am curious which ones are good also.

I don’t recommend pairing them 😳 I prepped my tummy with yakult and it still burns like crazy. I had to take tummy medicine, and even so the burning still continued for few hours~

well, today I cooked something new today last afternoon, Chapagetti with chicken popcorn with sauce :)

(but people said it’s just like someone eating at Chinese restaurant, lol)

I would like to try some ramen but there’s so many brands I’m unsure where to start. I don’t handle much spice well and I prefer something that cooks easily.

High protein noodles raw materials: Vital wheat gluten, Pea protein, Wheat flour, Buckwheat flour, Pea fiber powder, Glutinous rice flour, Konjac powder.

Finish it off with cold rice 🍚 and you’re all set

Hey, so I bought a pack of buldak carbonara ramen from the grocery store but when I got home I read the best before date and it says “26 JN 22”. I’m so confused, does that mean 2026 june 22 or 26 june 2022?

I'm back and I've taken your criticisms in hand. "Whatever that is, it's not Buldak." "That's not Buldak." "That is NOT Buldak." "Whoever you bought this from ripped you off." "You got scammed." "You didn't drain the water properly."

Alright, alright. Settle down. Here's the steps I followed:

1. Bought the same exact cup of Buldak that I did last time.

2. Brought the water to a rolling boil, poured it into the cup and covered it with the bottom of a plate for 4 minutes.

3. Drained the noodles in a strainer, shaking them around for a minute or so just to make sure.

4. Mixed in the sauce and herbs, then ate it.

Verdict: Nothing significant changed. The texture was maybe slightly creamier. There was a mildly sweet, maybe even floral, note at the beginning of the bite, quickly replaced by a bloom of moderate heat. I even let the noodles sit in my mouth for a bit, swirled them around. Main body of heat dissipated within a couple of minutes of finishing the bowl and a very mild contact dermatitis remains as a type this post.

Ultimately, I still do not like this and I still think it's a mostly flavorless, heat first product. I know at least one of you thought my opinion would change if I drained more water and I know that person's gonna be disappointed. Sorry, folks.

Maybe a hint of sweetness, but this is 1/32x spicy.

Im looking for a cheese ramen that features strong cheese (goats, blue, Brie etc.)

Does any such product exist?

I used to be a big fan of instant ramen but last year I got quite sick from eating somehing unrelated however I had the instant ramen with it and so I've had a bit of a problem. Any time I see, smell or even think about the brand of instant noodles I had, I get very queasy.

The brand in question was Pot Noodles (chicken & mushroom flavour). My GF recommended I try and get over my "Mental Allergy" so I bought some other brands of instant noodles to see what would happen.

Trying different brands was not the most pleasant experience however I've found out that because of smell and texture I can eat Itsu instant ramen without problems. However the thing is that I don't actually like any flavours that Itsu have to offer.

So if I liked Itsu does anyone have any recommendations for what else I might like?

Thank you.

Hi! I just tried the Ottogi Cheese Ramen for the first time, and now I'm curious to know what your favorite cheese ramen is and why/comparisons-- thanks!

(I liked it- prepared according to pkg but thought it was a tad mild/bland. But exactly as it says- I think I may have expected it to be more... Mac & Cheesy? I have no idea. Next time I think it needs less water and some fried Spam, plus the sauteed corn/broccoli/kimchi I happened to have. In general though, I'd rather have a ramen I would be happy to eat as-is! I'm not a fan of crazy spicy ramens, but love the regular spicy ones.)

Thanks!

Once again Mama releasing something amazing!

Thai boat noodles are one of my favorite thai dishes, sadly are a bit hard to find in european thai restaurants, so, having an instant version that taste like the real deal for sure will cure the cravings, specially now that winter is coming

Added some onion slices and a drops of lime juice and was a great meal, just next time maybe some thinly sliced beef

Hi! I’m testing out uncommon (more than just a fried egg and green onions :p ) ways other people prepare their instant ramen; especially Samyang Buldak would be awesome!

If you have anything to share, maybe even something that is commonly done in your country, please feel free to reply with it! :D

Thank you!

Anyone else tried combining these? Strain to a little bit of water before adding the Toomba powder, splash of sesame oil at the end. I promise it doesn't disappoint, you have to be hungry though.

I've been trying different mixes of ramen since I saw a chef do it somewhere on YouTube. I think he used Shin Black and Buldak Carbonara though, which honestly goes harder than this but it's all I have.

I feel like you can't really go wrong with Shin Black in any combination.

If you are a lover of instant ramen, rizz it up silly boy!

... and it's ... just like normal ramen but with a hint of cheese powder?! (I absolutely LOVE old Kraft Mac & Cheese, so maybe I was expecting more of this?)

I guess I expected it to be MUCH cheesier. I followed the pkg directions, with maybe a hair less water. Added pre-sauteed corn/broccoli; kimchi after tasting. I didn't think I wanted the spicy version, but I was totally surprised at how mild it tasted!

I like it. (Not sure how much though- maybe I'll just eat the normal ramens and add cheesy cheese next time.) I think I'll add much less water next time. But I can't imagine seeking this out again in the future, with all the other amazingly more delicious ones out there! I guess it's perfect for a light snack. (@450 cal 😂🤦)

Thoughts?

Thai style, "Pad Char Baby Clam Flavour." I didn't really pick up on a strong clam flavor, but they were mildly sweet and spicy, and the noodles themselves were very delicate. Pretty good, hope I get some more!
