Shin Noodle Ramyun, Gourmet Spicy Picante, 4.2-Ounce Packages (Pack of 16)

Review: I've eaten ramen for a long time (30+ years) and have eaten numerous varieties and the Shin ramen is probably my #1 tasting. The reasons are as follows: * Best flavor broth - it's spicy (but adjustable), leaves a good aftertaste (yes, even when you burp), tint of mushroom flavor coupled with a good balance of red pepper, onions and spices. * Noodles have good texture - depending how you cook them of course but with bad ones, no matter how you cook them they come out soggy/soft. These come out chewy if you want or softer if you overcook them. * It's not oily - I've noticed with some noodles, you can see a ring of oil around the pot after you cook the noodles. So with these I sometimes had to boil an extra pot of water and then transfer the cooked noodles to the fresh pot of water to get rid of the oil. Not with Shin Ramen. * Economical - for less than a dollar a pack, they beat any dollar menu item * Great for any weather - particularly winter to keep you warm. In the summer, they help to break out a sweat and opens your pores * Can be a hearty meal - you can add all types of things to this ramen as others have posted. An egg is recommended but so are vegetables and meat. Tips: Amount of water - add about 2 mug size cup fulls of water. If not sure, add a little less. You can always add more after it's fully cooked. Adding cold water at the end cools down the boiling hot soup so it's easier to eat. How to cook - wait til the water boils. As soon as it does, drop in everything: the soup base, noodles, dried vegie packet. If you want to add vegies, let it cook for about a minute before adding e.g. mushrooms, bean sprouts, tomatoes, green onions. Don't put more than a quarter couple of any vegies or meat cuz you'll kill the flavor. For eggs, if you like them well cooked, add them at the beginning. You can add at the end of cooking too but this is a bit too raw for my taste Cooking time - boil the noodles 2 - 4 minutes. This depends on how hard or soft you like your noodles. Just pull a strand out and taste it every 30 seconds after the first minute. There's no right or wrong here. Soup base - add all of it. Don't worry about it being too spicy. Per above you can always water it down later. The soup will be plenty hot. Remember it just finished boiling and it's difficult to put something in your mouth when it was just boiling. How to serve - there are 3 ways I'd recommend 1) The traditional Korean way - folks like to eat straight from the pot. There's actually an 'art' to this. After removing it from the stove, place the pot on something that wont burn. Grab the lid of the pot, a spoon (yes a spoon) and chop sticks (fork if you can't wield them). 2) In a bowl. Don't use a plastic one unless it can stand the heat. I don't like to use plastic period for health reasons but up to you. Remove some of the excess soup from the pot first and then pour everything directly into the bowl. Grab a spoon and chopsticks/fork and place the bowl down and go to work. 3) combination of 1 and 2 above. Place the pot of ramen and get a bowl along with a spoon and chopsticks/fork. How to eat: First, forget what your parents have told you on slurping. To eat ramen, you must slurp. Why? Because 1) if you don't you'll burn your lips because no slurping means the noodles must pass through your lips slower and enclosed more around the noodles. 2) because your lips are more enclosed, most of the soup around the noodles are sucked away from noodles, leaving you with less flavorful noodles. So forget the decorum. Eat it asian style and slurp away. 2nd, I'd recommend the Korean way (#1 above). You grab the pot lid then take about 2 mouthful amounts of noodle and dump it into the lid. You should be holding the lid with your left hand (switch if you're right handed) and quickly grab a large spoon and add several spoonfuls of soup broth into the lid. You're doing 3 things here 1) you're saturating the noodles with the flavorful broth. 2) by adding the noodles to the lid, you're cooling it down for consumption while keeping the rest of the noodles hot. 3) When you eat straight from the lid, you first eat the noodles and immediately follow up with a slurp from the lid itself to drink the soup base. To do this, you put the lid close to your mouth and then push the noodles in with your utensil, drink the soup right after or together as you push the noodles in. I know this sounds crude but the flavor is maximized this way. You can add any vegetables or meat to eat bite this way too. If you want to eat using method #2, well, it needs no explanation, just make sure you slurp and drink the broth as you eat the noodles. For method #3, you're basically substituting the bowl for the lid. Works as well but assuming your lid is metal, it keeps the noodles hotter. Also, people tend to put more noodles into a bowl then a lid and this ends up cooling the noodle down too much. It's also slower cuz you dont hold the bowl in your hand where as with the lid, since you're holding it, you grab noodles, place them briefly on the lid then straight to your mouth. It's cooler too ;>) Third, some people like to make this a heartier meal by adding rice. I usually don't add the rice to the pot until I'm half-way through because it's too hot and because the meal loses its flavor and it's too heavy. However, by adding rice directly to the pot full of ramen, you have more of a hearty meal. Now, enjoy!

This Nongshim Shin Noodle Ramyun (Gourmet Spicy Picante, pack of 16) has been a go-to for quick, satisfying meals. The broth has a rich, bold spiciness that isn’t just heat for the sake of it — there’s real depth of flavor, especially when you add an egg or some veggies. The noodles have a nice chew and hold up well without getting mushy.

These are excellent inexpensive noodles but they are quite salty for someone who rarely adds salt to food, even when cooking, as I do! They are more expensive than grocery store Ramen and taste a good deal better but seem to have about the same destructive amounts of salt- 2020 mg or about 80% daily salt intake/bag which claims to be 2 servings but I assume that most adults would consume the lot unless using this as only part of a meal rather than a quick comfort food. Other reviews alerted me to this and following their recommendation, I only used 1/2 the soup base package. I added some dehydrated green onions and dried oinions when preparing on the stovetop and added a fresh egg, covering it with the noodles after removing from the heat. This had excellent flavor and with half of the salt, I did not feel like my blood pressure would be so imperiled as I had used the whole soup packet. I like and regularly consume very spicy food (I frequently consume 4-5 jalapenos with a meal) but as prepared it was quite delicious and spicy enough. There are other brands of noodles that I frequently buy from Amazon Annie Chun's Korean Sweet Chili Noodle Bowl, 8.4-Ounce Units (Pack of 6) that I relish but the salt is still high and the price is somewhat higher. I will alternate varieties in the future. I only eat Asian Noodles no more than once a week since I do have some sodium issues. I am on disability and do not get out often from my house in the country so I have tried many of the long shelf life foods that Amazon sells. They sell many dehydrated vegetables in medium sized quantities that make them easy to have on hand and still be way cheaper than grocery store prices. I even found some non refrigerated tofu Mori-Nu Tofu, Lite, Silken, Firm, 12.3-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) that I have received but not yet tried. The customer reviews claim that it is excellent quality and it is actually cheaper than the fresh brand offered in the local grocery. I expect to add some to my next bowl of noodles and the soups that I frequently make from scratch.

These noodles are really good. After trying other brands l must admit that l will definitely order them again. Spicy but not too hot which is important and after cooking the noodles never become too soft or soggy.

Volgens afspraak geleverd aan een voordelige prijs. Aan te bevelen.

Me compro estos fideos porque son una marca muy conocida en Korea y el mundo. Me gustan mucho y creo que si divides entre el numero de paquetes te queda básicamente el precio que tienen en supermercado oriental. Revisar eso cuando se compren porque a veces oscila el precio, pero yo creo que nos debería de quedar entre el euro y medio o los dos (tb tener en cuenta el año de esta reseña : ( ) Son fideos que preparad en 5 minutos enchandolos en una olla con la mezcla. El caldo si le echas todo el sobre queda bien picante OJO A ESTO. Como el nivel de picante es relativo, estos fideos pican bastante más que la sriracha o el tabasco, mucho menos que los fideos de fuego y menos que el tabadco habanero. Picante-normal dentro de lo que es la comida oriental, vaya. Siempre se puede echar la mitad del sobre, pero no los recomiendo si no nos gusta el picante. Mejor comprar algún sobre suelto si no tienes claro que estás comprando. Algunas cosas más. Aunque sean fideos para preparar rapido no son una ful. En korea creo que se comen mucho y está internet lleno de forma de mejorar el como los preparas. Un ejemplo, en lugar de hacerlos con sopa hervir los fideos y echar medio sobre con ajo picado y azucar en un bowl. Se calienta un poquito de aceite y se echa. Se mezclan los fideos. Ala, fideos sin sopa, menos picantes y muy ricos. Que dan bastantes posibilidades, vaya. Son tanto ultrarapidos como comida para hacer algo mejor. No se que más información dar. Caducan al año aproximadamente, así que solo comprarlos si comemos fideos de estos con cierta frecuencia.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Die richtige Schärfe und es ist schnell bereitet.

Beste ! Angenehme Schärfe guter geschmack........ Schnelle Lieferung! Mfg
