I’m usually sceptical of ‘healthy’ and low cal ramen but this was surprisingly nice! The broth is miso based, lovely umami and a hint of peanut. The noodles are nice and springy, and there is a good amount of spring onion. Would buy again.

It was fucking delicious btw. I attribute it to the “hole”.

I love chewy noodles (which is why I love tteokbokki) so looking forward to recs!!

But also what’s tour favourite?

Chinese but for the US market and quite nice

I like Jin the best because of the noodle texture and beef broth flavour. All three are on point and need to be in your instant ramen rotation.

Which is your favourite and why?

01:06 to 8:52 are about Nongshim and features Shin Ramyun, our beloved. (Unrelated) ad is 3:57 to 5:00 if you want to skip it.

Can you recommend a site that ships to Europe?

I just had a pack of these ramen:

They apparently have only 68 kcal / 100g, meaning one pack has about 40 calories.

That seems super low to me. Even ChatGPT doubts it. But that is what it says on the package.

Can that be true?

Second time trying this. First time I tried it hot and plain, and was not a fan of it. I decided to add somewhat soft boiled eggs, cucumber, and kimchi.

After watching numerous YouTube shorts, decided to give this a try, and holy smokes, this is one of the best ramen I have had.

Please ignore my bowl didn't have anything better in my uni dorm(lol)

God, I miss Taiwan...

I was so excited to try it but I can't even handle how spicy it is at the first little taste 😭 Edit: I normally like spicy stuff like Takis and other stuff but I dunno what is making this so bad for my tongue and lips

Hey Everyone! I'm quite new to the Instant Ramen world, and saw everyone suggesting Buldak, so i tried multiple Buldak flavours, and all of them were too sweet for me 😭, I tried Nissin and Indomie as well, and found them sweet as well.

The spiciness of Buldak is negligible to me because I have very high spice tolerance, but i don't mind if the ramen is spicy or not, what bothers me is the sweetness in all these ramnes I've tried.

Please give your ramen/noodle recommendation, something that is not sweet, or havevvery negligible amount of sweetness.

Thanks 🍜

spicy, and really salty! I'm not too sure if I didn't fill it up enough, but I had to put some extra water in it. toppings are carrots, mushrooms, meat, and spring onions. it smells really nice.

overall, 4/5. definitely fills you up, I added an egg and some fake crab and it was really delicious!

it's weird though, I saw quite a lot of people saying that this was discontinued but there were a ton of them at the store. I guess this might be just rare?

First time trying JLM noodles. I had whole shrimp and made a stock with the heads and shells. Used the stock with the flavour packets to cook the noodles and shrimp. Topped with cilantro and tiny tomatoes from my garden. Great noodles! Would buy again!

I was originally inspired by a couple of posts of peanut butter and sriracha hacked noodles. I tried it with an Ayam brand gado gado sauce, but it didn’t really give what I was looking for. The sauce was too watery/weak.

I decided to give it another try; this time with sambal pecel. For those that don’t know, pecel is a spicy peanut sauce. The photo shows a store bought version, from Madiun, Indonesia, which is a place known for good nasi pecel. The small bag is a home made version, which I used.

I wanted to use the OG mi Goreng, but was out, so this chicken one is not so strong/different.

The pecel is mixed with a bit of boiling water to make a paste. I made it a little less viscous than usual, to allow for easy mixing.

I have to say, if you like spicy peanut noodles, this is the way! It’s bold, creamy, nutty and spicy!

I don’t wanna be that guy who’s says you need that one, specific, not so easy to obtain ingredient, but if you can get some (Indo shop or restaurant), I highly recommend trying this.

It's the hack where you mix some mayo and egg yolk with the seasoning and buldak sauce. It really takes it to the next level. I'm so happy that i can try my favorite carbonara ramen in the soupy version too. The broth is soo creamy and it still has that kick of buldak sauce, kinda similar to tonkotsu broth flavor imo

Anyone try maruchan gold tonkotsu? Is it worth buying?

I had the spicy miso one, pretty good imo. Only option to buy the tonkotsu is bulk online, but i dont want to commit with that many packs before i heard yours opinions.

I found this at Walmart Neighborhood Market. At $1.19, I decided to give it a try. Not too sour and the noodles were surprisingly firm. I couldn’t think of anything appropriate to add to it, so I went plain. I could eat it again, but I’d pass on it. I work with a hardcore pickle lover, he will find a gift on his desk on Monday.

First time trying this one, taste, good, really spicy, i thought it was tom yum flavor but it has a lime and shrimp taste.

This is without a doubt my new all time favorite Seafood noodle. The broth is rich, umami and has just the right amount of spice to add a delightful mouth tingle wothout being overbearing. The seafood flavor is perfectly balanced as well.

The noodles are chewy and absorbed a ton of flavor. Every bite is delicious. Will definitely have to get more in the future. I added a tiny bit of Kewpie to add some creaminess and it worked perfectly.
