    Is this the Red one that won best Instant Ramen on yesterday's GMM?

      IMO best instant ramen you can get in Australia is the Samyang ramen Chicken carbonara

      https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/805129/sam…

      Followed by the one OP posted (IMO)

      • lasterato on 24/09/2020 - 09:15

        What about from places like Miracle - do they have other, better options that would be recommended?

        With sriracha sauce? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35es-h6xF-0

          I don't know if you'll count Prima Singapore Laksa La Mian as ramen, not just hotttt, the texture of the la main has a firmer bite to my liking, and the laksa sauce is aromatic and creamy, but quite expensive though, maybe cheaper at Miracle.

          They're pretty versatile. I've drained off the noodles bar about a tablespoon of water and run the seasoning through and it makes for a great dry noodle. Some people use milk instead of water for the broth and it's pretty amazing, too.

      • RandomEnjoyer on 24/09/2020 - 15:00

        Omg I just bought this the other week to try and it's one of the best instant ramen I've tried!

        Mi Goreng and Ramen are two different concepts. Comparing Oranges and Mandarins.

      Yeah my wife got me these in place of my usual mi goreng noodles and i made them without thinking, first mouthful and it was raining sweat.. so I don't put as much flavouring in now, and usually bung an egg in there too.

        You can dump half a cup of mixed frozen veg into the saucepan also. If there is any leftover meats then you can bung that in too.

    Has anyone noticed that the noodle cake is a lot more compressed compared to before?

    Seems to take a little longer to cook as well…or maybe that is just my imagination.

    Only noticed it from this batch that I bought from Woolworths.

    • hippyhippy on 24/09/2020 - 09:52

      ive noticed the last pack i bought which i think was from woolies, the noodles where thinner than previous and the package was actually smaller

      in terms of instant noodles, this brand is usually quite thick, so something has changed.

      • life is suffering on 24/09/2020 - 09:54

        yup the diameter has decreased a little but thickness definatley

        Yes it's a very noticeable difference! The one from the Korean store is thicker but the weight content says the same. I'm wondering if Woolies has the newer batch and the Korean stores would have had the older stock …

    • dreamykitten on 24/09/2020 - 10:22

      Yes I have. Interested to see what changed, it took about the same time to cook for me.

    Got it from Costco $15.89 (I believe) for a 20 pack.

          If you want flavour buy the black version, more of flavour profiles but IMO still prefer the red.

        • supacheap on 24/09/2020 - 10:14

          Shin Ramen isn't 2 min noodle so you gotta cook it longer. I suspect you're leaving it too watery and the noodle hasn't cooked in the broth enough. I know this sounds weird but trust me there's a technique ;)

          • Skremmbar on 24/09/2020 - 10:43

            @supacheap: Ok maybe I'm not crazy just stupid haha

            +3

            @supacheap: It actually tastes better if you dont cook the noodle in the broth…

            Boil (just with water, don't add the broth poweder) the noodles until 'al dente', drain the water on a colander.

            Then add seasoning onto bowl, hot water, mix it and add the noodles. That way you don't use too much water as usually you need a lot more water to boil the noodles but if you put the broth powder while boiling the noodle, you can't throw some of the broth away as you'll be wasting some of those flavoured soup.

            I'm Indonesian and most Indonesians prefer cooking their soupy Indomies this way too.

              @meong: I find the noodles haven't soaked in the flavour packet unless boiled with it. It just ends up tasting like spicy water and unflavoured noodles :( Might just be me tho …

              Albeit my method is very similar to yours.
              1. I half boil the noodles usually with a bit more water then drain out excess water.
              2. Add the flavour packets and then continue boil.
              3. When noodles are almost done add in two eggs (no stirring). Then close the lid and let it poach for 2 min.
              4. Serve and enjoy :D

        • Munki on 24/09/2020 - 12:20

          Add a bit of miso paste into the soup when it's boiling (approximately 1 table spoon should be enough - but add it to your taste). Thank me later.

          • nobro25 on 24/09/2020 - 12:26

            @Munki: Never boil miso, you can keep it hot but below boiling. Just add miso right after you pour it into the bowl and mix.

            • Munki on 24/09/2020 - 13:00

              @nobro25: My bad. Add the miso. Gives it a much fuller taste.

    After cooked, if you don't mind eating raw egg, putting one into it, cover up and wait for a minute (or microwave for a minute). Break the egg yolk before you eat.
    You can also put a piece of cheese on the top of the ramen, serve it when it just melted.
    I used to do both and either way can enhance the flavor also reduce the spicy level from the ramen.

      -1 to adding cheese

      That's just me though. I know there are a lot of fans who like adding cheese to their ramen, but I tried it once and… just no. A slice of processed cheese is usually what's recommended, to clarify your statement of "a piece of cheese". I wouldn't recommend dropping in a wedge of camembert.
