      I've only eaten Indomie Mi Goreng. Can anyone give a run down on the differences in the dry noodles across what is available in supermarkets? I assumed that just the flavourings were different. Do any have different noodles. I'm wondering if some are thicker and meatier.

      • +4

        Pro tip. Buy the Indomie Mie Goreng from asian grocers, etc which doesn't have the English translation. It's the OG version with full flavor and tastes way better.

        • -1

          And full of 味精 Weijing aka MSG 😬

      • yes the noodles advertised here, as with the different flavours, are much thicker and firmer than Mi Goren noodles. As to flavour I find these to be a little too spicy but adding ingredients or slightly reducing the amount of powder from the flavour sachet can help

  • +12

    I've tried this before, its very spicy but lacks flavour

    I will not buy again.

    • +3

      Out of curiosity, what do you consider an instant noodle with flavour if you think this lacks it?

    • +3

      Add cheese before eat if you find that too spicy for you.

      • +7

        I suggest some milk. like 50ml of milk makes it less spicy and taste quite nice!

        • +2

          Do you lap it up from a saucer?

        • +1

          Korean like to add cheese :)

    • +16

      oh man.. you're cooking it wrong if you think this lacks flavour

      hands down one of the best

      • +1

        ok, how is it supposed to be cooked?

        • +3

          i assume you either added too much water / didn't add egg

          but quick google: https://youtu.be/8krT-dli1-A

          • +1

            @blehgg: I did not add egg but I added pretty much the same amount of water as that video

            Either way, I'm not a spicy fan so I'll pass this one

            • @Homr: Soak noodle in hot water. Heat pan, fry garlic and onion, add noodles and spices. Add water how much you want, put ut in bowl, add chese slices 3, boiled egg. Best combo

              • +1

                @sagrgar: omg this triggered my shin ramyun soul so much i had to reply

                'the proper korean way'

                550ml of water (most important part of the entire process), 500ml if you want stronger taste

                bring to boil and add powder and flakes

                in this order, add noodles, an egg (do not pop), green onion cut in 3 - 5cm

                close lid and cook until 'al dente', if noodles are cooked until mushy then big fail

                enjoy with kimchi, or a pickled side dish (again also important)

                • @visitor123: I don't add the egg until there is only about 75 seconds to go, otherwise the yolk cooks through.

        • +1

          add some chinese cabbage, bokchoy

    • +1

      I tried both of them

      This Nong Shim Shin Ramyun 5 Pack $4 @ Woolworths is spicy, it has punchy flavour but somehow tasted bland.

      The Nissin Ramen Kyushu Black Noodle @ Coles
      not as spicy, you have to cook it for longer for the noodle to absorb the flavour in. The flavour is weaker (even instead of punchy) but the noodle is tastier.

    • +6

      the powder is tear gas in a bag
      you don't have to pour it all in

        • These are pretty lame. You should try the samyang hot chicken noodles.

      • Ooh. Sounds yum. Should be right to smoke it you reckon?

    • +1

      You need to cook it and add like veggies, eggs and cheese. Just don’t put all the powder in if it’s too spicy for you.

      • I only add egg to mine. Next time try adding your egg after you crack it in a separate bowl/cup and whisking the white and yolk together. Maybe 15-20 seconds before you would take it off from the stove.

        It's now my go to when cooking ramyun. I don't just crack the whole egg in to the ramyun now.

    • Spicy yes, Hot No.

      I love these noodles.

    Each time I eat this, I think of Korea. Miss it dearly!

      Hey guys, make sure u buy in supermarket rather than Chinese grocery, some of them are "made in China", not Korea.

      • Didn’t know this thanks

      • correct, made in korea ones have a clear label saying so on the 5-pack packaging.

        • I can 100% sure made in China is not as good as Korea and even the color is different

    • -7

      Each time I eat this, I think of Korea

      Sorry, not even close to fresh noodles in Korea.

      • +7

        What fresh noodle you talking about?
        There aren't any ramyun category fresh noodles in Korea.
        Ramyuns are not fresh stuff, they are always instant.
        and Korean eat lots of instant noodles, so nothing wrong with dealbot's comment.

          Try some Japchae.

            @jv: Japchae is entirely different to instant noodles.

              • +2

                @jv: Japchae is from DRIED starch noodle, not fresh again.
                Some korean-chinese dishes like jajangmyun, jjampong or Kalguksu can be fresh, but Japchae can be made fresh from dried noodles.

                  @SWill:

                  Japchae is from DRIED starch noodle, not fresh again.

                  Pretty sure the restaurants weren't making from packets.

                  • +1

                    @jv: Japchae noodles are dried ones, just like pasta…well at least you can find fresh pasta, but not Japchae.
                    I haven't seen FRESH JAPCHAE noodle in my life. I lived in Korea 22 years.

                    Sure they are not making from packets, seasonings & additional ingredients will be prepared from restaurants, but noodles are from packet :-)
                    You can even make it yourself. See below link if you like Japchae.

                      You can make everything yourself…

                      My point is the food you eat at restaurants in Korea cannot be compared to packets you get in a supermarket.

      Put a sign up outside the door to a Woolies near you.

      • Doing that is no guarantee that it will be available for $3

        • Not guaranteed, just very likely.

    Used to jump on these deals, but noticed the Hanaro Marts in Brisbane often has these on sale at 2 for $5.99.

    If you live in Sydney - There is an asian grocery store just side of World Square near ICG chicken that sells this for 3.74 all year long

    Costco sells this too in a box of 20, around $15.50 a box.

  • “ Then you have to experience Shin Ramyun – soft and chewy noodles in a spicy broth, ready to eat in just 5 minutes.”

    Fixed the description for you.

  • +12

    If anyone wants to level up from Shin Ramyun, some other Korean instant ramens that I enjoy/can recommend (will probably have to scourer Asian grocery stores for these though):

    Shin Ramyun Black - basically the "gourmet" version of Shin Ramyun with a better broth and extra garnishes (actual dried beef, mushrooms etc)
    Neoguri - Seafood flavour, but what makes me keep coming back are the noodles; think udon but not as thick.
    Kkokkomyun - One of go-to's when I was living in Korea; a smooth chicken-based broth that has a nice kick of jalapeno to it.
    Namja Ramyun - Just a well-rounded instant ramen

    • +1

      Are they all have similar or stronger spice level than this one ? If yes, can you please recommend some which are non spicy or milder ?

      • Try these.

        https://www.google.com/search?q=%EC%95%88%EC%84%B1%ED%83%95%…

        I think with korean ramyun you would need to expect a certain level of spicyness. The An Sung Tang Myun (photo) is a bit less spicier than the Shin Ramyun.

        It also helps if you add egg in your ramyun. Crack your add in a cup/small bowl and mix the white and yolk together. Once the noodles are nearly cooked, pour the egg mixture in to your pot. Cook for like 10-15 seconds and they should be cooked.

        This is my go-to when cooking ramyun at home. It also helps if you have kimchi available as ramyun is best accompanied by kimchi.

      • +3

        You could try Jin Ramen (mild), very similar flavour to Shin Ramyun but less spicy. Actually these days Shin Ramyun has lost popularity amongst Koreans, a lot of Koreans prefer Jin Ramen instead.

      • the Neoguri ('mild Seafood flavour') is not very spicy compared to this variety

    • Shin Ramen Light is to die for!!

      • +1

        No noodle is worth dying for.

    • All unavailable for me, might have to go try in store.

      Thanks for the heads up!
