>>17363994
it alright

>>17363994
Some mod apparently just woke up and is cleaning house on all the shit threads from the late night hours. Say your farewells to this one too.

>>17363994
Eh, it's alright but overrated. I could write a small essay nitpicking all the disappointing points that bring a potential 10 instant ramen down to a 6, but honestly it's not necessary. I just think it's a 6/10 instant soup. Oddly enough the Shin Cup is a solid 8. The devil's in the details

>>17364030
What's your favorite anon?

>$0.25 a pop
>unabashed in it's humble hierarchical position
>truly the working mans ramen

>>17363994
pot noodle tastes better than this shit

>>17364035
I have two basic rules for instant soup.
1. I don't go for obscure or fantsy pance instantt soups
2. I won't fucking touch anything that I can't read the packaging.

That said, pic related has literally never disappointed me, so maybe for the last year or two this is my most reliable. It's not as versatile as some others though. Plain "oriental" style ramen is amazingly customizable, it takes meat, veggie, and the additions of sauces and oils very well whereas pi related does not.

>>17363994
Does anyone actually follow the directions of this? I use less water, and I don't add the seasoning packet until the noodles have cooked, even though it calls for before. I also add two eggs

>>17364060
I drain the noodles and add clear hot water to make the soup. That cloudy starchy oily water gives me the trots

>>17364060
Absolutely not. The directions will give you overcooked noodles and bland sauce.

>>17363994
No MSG? NO thanks!

>>17363994
this shit sucks
it just tastes like beef maggie noodles
mi goreng is far superior on an instant noodle level

is it "ray-min" or "rah-min"

>>17364152
mo goreng is much more delicious but there are some setbacks

it's a multi-step and somewhat messy process to make. all those packets of oils and sauces you add to the noodre in a certain order; the oil always leaks and makes a mess when you cut it open, and you never get all of it out. I crave it late night after drinking but kind of an asspain to make.

also it's not a soup, there's a lot to be said for a soup when it comes to instant noodre

>>17364178
>Put sauce packet into hot water
>This makes soy sauce a bit runnier, and the oil completely melted
>Shake the packet so all sauce and oil goes to bottom
>Use scissors to cut the top, straight cut across all three compartments
>Squeeze out
>You can generally get more out of soyb compartment by folding it in half length wise and squeezing it again

>>17364240
Thank you for this hack dude

>>17363994
Someone on this board taught me an amazing way to prepare shin ramyun that is better than just making the soup normally.
Mix packet contents with egg. Add a spoonful of mayo (or coconut cream which is my version). Whisk together. Add some hot water to temper the creamy eggy goodness. Cook and drain noodles. Mix cooked noodles into the egg/mayo/spicy powder solution. Wa la.
Originally i found shin ramyun to be kind of boring and lacking flavor. This method is satisfying. The soup is more like a creamy sauce rather than a thin clear soup.

>>17364060
I add less water, but otherwise yes. Eggs are a must anyway

>>17363994
I usually put cheese on top of Shin Ramyun. It goes pretty well with the spiciness.

>>17364240
I actually put the packets on top of the lid while boiling the water and it makes it all hot and melty. but still, I also cut the top with scissors but it's still not a perfect system, all the little bits of onion in the oil are hard to get out.

also you aren't meant to put all three packets in at once, the oil goes in right away and then you have to spend a good amount of time stirring and mixing the noodre to coat properly. the rest of the steps don't work properly if the noodre clump or aren't fully coated with oil.

then goes in the powder packet and mix thoroughly, then the sweet soy and chili sauce and mix thoroughly, then the dry onion packet.

it's just kind of a dickpain and when I'm sauced I make two packages worth so i'm trying to rush through the proccess with two of every packet. compared to "boil noodre + stir in soup packet" it's a project

>>17363994
For me, it's Jin Ramen

>>17364313
>zoomer/tiktok recipe

Do you see where it all went wrong for you anon?

Damn. This thread about instant ramen has been very informative. I thought I was pretty good at making this shit but I have been humbled.
Here's a few that I got.
>Sliced dried shitake.
They give and receive flavour excellently.
>Dried whole black fungus
(don't get the white back ones, they a shit)
>White pepper
If your noodle start to get a bit bland or boring towards the end, add a dash of this. It will brighten the dish and add a little kick.

>boil and decant the water save for a few tablespoons
>throw away two thirds of the seasoning packet
>add a little olivol
>mix and serve
>nothing personnell kid

>>17364869
Just break these guys up into small pieces, they expand and absorb a lot. Not really a flavour here but a great crunchy texture.
Repeat. Do not get the ones labeled "white back". they take a lot more cooking.

Chicken curry flavor mi goreng is the GOAT instant noodle

Best ramen soup coming through. This shit HEALS me.

>>17364897
that stuff is good but are you sure thats ramen?
Or are you just turning it into ramen?

>>17364879
I also toss out most of the packet and add my own seasonings.

>>17363994

>>17364977
Checked. I don't know anymore, anon. I don't know.
>>17365059
>cracked
It hurts.

>>17364240
Based

a challenger appears
have yet to have instant noodles with broth as silky and rich as samyang's stew type (the one made to produce broth instead of their usual noodles)

>Go to Noodle joint a few years back and buy some ramen
>it's not bad but nothing amazing
>buy this for three bucks and prepare it a week later
>blows it out of the park
All the ones I've bought of this flavor since haven't been as good but still it's pretty good. I went to a different Ramen place in another city the other day and had some great Tonkotsu there as well. God I should go back sometime soon and try another flavor and some Pocari Sweat instead of the Ramune I bought

>>17364042
Maruchan's dependable. Not the tastiest but you get what you pay for and since it's just so customizable you can easily augment it. I always add meat to mine and add just a little bit of milk to make it creamier.

>>17365807
I bought those a few weeks back and dug into them. I bought them because I never tried the brand before. The noodles were good but I'm a pussy when it comes to spicy stuff so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have.

>>17365859
>The noodles were good but I'm a pussy when it comes to spicy stuff so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have.
bf is the same way, so sometimes we'll swap the spice pack between the stew type and the 40% less spicy so he can have 40% spicy stew type and I make noodles from the leftovers. it'd be pretty wasteful without making use of the leftover stuff, though.

>>17364169
its ラーメン

>>17363994
For me it's these, with my own added cayenne pepper

>>17364721
You might be overcooking your noodles of its clumping that bad

Shin ramyun is peasant food

>>17364042
>$0.25 a pop
I remember when they were $0.09 a pop

>>17366959
I really wanna try that flavour but that brand is annoying to get where I am

>>17364977
it says "soup noodles" and "instant noodles" and the bowl has broth
i think that's what makes it "special" over indomie's mi goreng

>>17365807
Based Anon, I was hoping to see Samyang posted before having to do it myself.

>>17364865
No one cares that its not le authentic japanesu desu ramen soup kawaii nya you buttblasted weeb. If it tastes better as a very spicy flavorsome creamy sauce rather than a substandard mildly spicy soup then that is how I am going to have it.
>>17364869
I add the dried mushroom mix, so it has variety of mushroom types. It has (copy pasted ingredient list) Shitake Mushroom (Lentinula Edodes), King Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus Eryngi), Black Fungus (Auricularia Auricula), Mushrooms (Agaricus Bisporus), Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus Cystidiosus)

>>17365807
>broth
>pic of literally a dry noodle
idiot

>>17368981
Doesnt look dry to me. There is a bubbling liquid in the picture.

>>17368981
Fucking idiot. Samyang Stew Type is a soup, read the fucking instructions idiot before you call others idiots.

>>17364060
I put 300ml of water. 500ml like package says makes the broth too watery and bland.

>>17364885
"Black fungus" sounds like something straight up from some horror.

>>17369052
Yeah it does, and it looks scary too, but its pretty nice in my personal opinion. Its rubbery but slightly crunchy, like jellyfish, and has a mild flavor.

>>17364365
This is the way. I know ck would crucify me but a good American cheese slice mixed in while it's hot makes the best creamy spicy noodles

Ramen threads are so kino

>remembering when obese as shit back then and always ate 2-3 packets of these

>>17369100
its kinda hard not to be obese in singapore/southeast asia. So much really good but fattening food.

>>17366384
no anon I'm not, but they do sit awhile when you're sorting out all the ingredient additions. plus the powder packet is the main clumpinator so you want those noodre good and oily before you start piling on the dry ingredients

>>17369193
did you respond to the right post?

>>17363994
Why gook spicy ramen,brown?

Ramen IS THE WORD FOR FUCKING NOODLE SOUP IN JAPAN.
STOP CALLING YOUR FUCKING NOODLES RAMEN.

>>17364832
That stuff is so good. I have a case on my bed right now.

>>17368953
big fan of their noodles but their ramen offering is top notch. tomato pasta and curry are GOAT

>>17363994
Hell yeah. I always use that as the base for my fancy ramen.

>>17369255
no :[

>>17369374
>Noodles ramen
That's just silly, it's called Ramen noodles.

>>17369374
>>17364169
stop calling them exactly what now?
>mfw
-ン

>>17364977
It does say that it's a soup noodle.

>>17368981
That's the stew type version of the Samyang noodles. That is a soup noodle and not a dry noodle.

>>17365807
I have yet to taste instant noodles better then their normal black spicy noodles. Many thanks to my beloved gook bros for inventing this

>>17369374
my favorite ramen is campbell's

bump (with broth)

underrated

>>17364024

>>17364134
your comment made me happy

>>17363994
Shin Ramyun is pretty great but it gets boring after awhile. Tried this stuff when i saw it at Costco and it was great

>>17365807
Did someone say Samyang?! For me it’s the 2x spicy packet! The flavor is unreal I always add liberal amounts of Asshole Blaster Boy Sxout Molester 50000 to really up those scollerinos

>>17364832
I love the taste of these. Bought just the soup powder to add alittle into everything

>>17365807
i actually hate these. Had one bag then gave the rest to a coworker. Never heard back if they even liked them. I'll stick to the stirfry version

Nog shim

>>17365807
Samyang is for furries

>>17371716
wtf i love furries now

>>17371275
What do you think of the 60th anniversary package?

>>17371736
cute!
sometimes I only use half the packet, and then I make popcorn and season it with butter and the other half. Awful for you but tastes fucking amazing.

>>17371736
>misinterprets "embolden three aspects" as "three sheep"
This is what happens when an east asian country abandons kanji

>>17371727
>>17371740
based and sheeppilled

>>17370098
Looks more like a yakisoba.

>>17364060
I add just enough water for it to be almost completely cooked off by the time the noodles are done

>>17371749
amen

>>17363994
I literally haven't been able to buy ramen since the pandemic started. It has been out of stock for 2 years now.

>>17371815
grow your own idiot

>>17371348
is this like 50/50 noodles and rice cakes or what?

>>17365859
the bowl version of this is godlike with a real piece of freeze dried pork. the pack version is only average.

>>17371758
I don't do broth, dry season at the end. Still shin black noodles.

I just ate Samyang super spicy ramen and the pain is only escalating.

why are these a thing? They don't taste like cheese at all and just like the rest of this disgusting garbage all you can taste is the OMG SO SPICY meme shit. Fuck Buldak.

>>17363994
I hail to the king.

>>17371758
more like ¥uckysoba amirite

>>17374026
I'm convinced its just made for export to trick westerners to buy this garbage.

>>17374026
Compared to other buldak it tastes cheesy as hell. I much rather just put fresh mozzarella on buldak though.

>>17374035
Eating spicy food is considered de-stressing in Korea.

>>17374054
I guess it is true what they say, North Korea Best Korea

For me, it's the carbonara Samyang.
I just bought a multipack of the Korean black bean ones... can't wait to try them.

>>17374086
>Korean black bean ones
Jjapagetti? It's great stuff. You can also mix it with the original buldak to make buldakgetti which is more flavoursome and with a more reasonably spice level than buldak.

>>17363994
anybody who eats this sodium-packed MSG flavoured shit after leaving college should really be examining the poor life choices that led them to this point

>>17372346
Pretty much, its a bag of 3 ramen packs and 3 rice cake packs with spicy powder

>>17369058
>>17364365
My Korean friend recently introduced me to this. Blew my mind how good it was.
I’m out of that brand of noodles and American slices so Ive been using these disgusting super spicy noodles, mixed with fried onions, garlic, and strips of cheap steak, and random cheeses in my fridge. The cheese really cuts the spice.

You posted the wrong picture, OP. Lemme fix that for you.

>>17374695
these things are foul
no flavor and looks like blood

>>17374829
Yeah no joke and it’s grossly sweet too somehow. If you have any laying around try it with garlic and cheese at least.

>>17374829
it's a dry noodle tho

>>17374026
literally eating this right now. works on my tongue.
>>17374616
nice. love those rice cakes. instant tteokboki should be on more people's radar

>>17374086
so far this was the only buldak that disappointed me, but I need to try it again. it tasted bland but I was getting over a cold, so I'd be willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

>>17374141
This. There is no place at all for instant soup of any kind in my diet of gold flakes and caviar.

>>17363994
You're right, anon, you're right. However, it destroys my toilet bowl.
Their seafood noodles are the actual GOAT, but unfortunately I associate them with my ex fuckbuddy so I can't eat them too much.

>>17364042
Why are working men allowed on this website?

>>17374845
Read the instructions. It is less dry than indomie mi goreng.

>>17363994
I toss the flavour packets and make cacio e pepe instant noodles instead.

>>17371788
Pathetic.

>>17374695
>Cheese in ramen
What the fuck are you doing
