          they are high in fats, refined carbs and high in salt - like any highly processed foods eat in moderation.

            @sardines: So don’t put the oil sachet in and don’t drink all the soup… problem solved

              @freeb1e4me: A lot of these Korean instant ramens don't have an oil sachet, just spice powder (and dried veggies). It's mainly the Indo-style noodles that have the oil, and often it's palm oil. Haven't had an Indo one in years.

              I like these Korean ones for when I can't be bothered cooking. I treat them like a full meal though, chuck in some protein, a whole bunch of veggies. I don't just have them as snacks.

                @wavesgreen: I may be wrong but I believe the issue with palm oil is of deforestation rather than health drawbacks - palm oil is actually one of the healthiest oils.

                • wavesgreen on 28/04/2025 - 21:35

                  @AllyOop: Only minor health benefits - the bad thing with palm oil is it's high in saturated fat. Definitely something you want to be watching how much you consume.

                  • AllyOop on 29/04/2025 - 00:13

                    @wavesgreen: I never said it was healthy - just that it was healthier than other oils. I don't think any oil can claim to be healthy. Saturated fat is an issue, but most neutral 'daily cooking' oils (peanut, sunflower, etc) have similar or worse issues with saturated fat or polyunsaturated fat causing free radicals. Overall if you're looking for something 'safe' without spending an arm and a leg on olive or avocado oil, palm oil is your best bet.

              @freeb1e4me: It's the noodles. The noodles have a lot of fat in them, not the sachets.

              It's flour fried in oil then dehydrated for storage.

            • Kumart on 29/04/2025 - 13:10

              @freeb1e4me: Instant noodles are unhealthy because the whole noodle itself is deep fried to dehydrate it

        • sicinadan on 30/04/2025 - 11:59

          The presence of NAFLD was 34.9% (n = 341) in men and 11.7% (n = 171) in women. Carbohydrate intake was positively associated with NAFLD prevalence in women (p for trend = 0.008). There was also a positive association between rice intake and NAFLD prevalence in women; the multi-adjusted odds ratio for the highest versus the lowest quartiles of rice intake was 1.87 (95% CI: 1.03, 3.41; p for trend = 0.006). These associations were not observed in men. No association was observed between bread and noodle intake and the prevalence of NAFLD in either sex.
          Conclusions
          Consumption of carbohydrates and rice was positively associated with NAFLD prevalence in middle-aged Japanese women.

          So…. if you are an asian male, then go for it !

        Not to encourage you to start eating them again, but Nong Shim do have a Shin Light variant which has less carbs and about four times less total fat (including less than 1g saturated fat) compared to the original.

        Unfortunately they do cost a little more and can be quite hard to find as not many stores stock them

        Of course plain noodles are not heathy without extra protein and veggies. Since it takes time to finish the bowl, people can't eat increasingly like eating fast food.

      I swear the origina;l used to taste better and the noodle texture.
      The black one is the only one now which for me has any flavor.

      • relteran on 28/04/2025 - 18:36

        Personally can't stand the black one and have never liked it. For me it tastes more bland rather than premium.

        Anyway, I'm pretty sure like 10+ years ago the main red packets were called Hot and Spicy, then one day they started selling them as Gourmet Spicy and reduced both the flavour and spice. I could be remembering incorrectly though

        I've found a photo of a packet which looks quite old and has Hot and Spicy, I think this is the one I'm remembering.

    Fun fact - the "Toomba" flavour comes from "Toowoomba Pasta", a made up dish from Outback Steakhouse which is American food cosplaying as Australian

    • MrZ on 28/04/2025 - 23:25
      -6

      "American food cosplaying as Australian" - er, it's primarily a steakhouse. How is steak not Australian? It's a basic part of Australian cuisine. Looking at what else is on the menu, I see salmon, lamb chops, grilled chicken, burgers … none of these things aren't Australian. They even have pavlova.

      • yoogz on 29/04/2025 - 15:19

        Woah champ, no need to also DM me demanding receipts on my claim. What's got your knickers in a knot, it's just a fun fact on an American company.

        If you are beaming with Australian pride you should know that calling a seafood pasta dish Toowoomba Pasta is hilarious because Toowoomba is completely landlocked and nowhere near water. Only Americans would have this level of cultural awareness and then sell it overseas

          You still haven't answered my question though, which is: "Explain how lamb chops and pavlova, both on the menu at Outback, are "American food cosplaying as Australian" ?" Both are about as Australian as you can get.

      • stjep on 06/05/2025 - 16:33

        Answer your own question. How is steak Australian? How is anything you list Australian, outside of the pavlova? Burgers are one of the most quintessentially American foods and here you are claiming it as your own. What a clown.

        • MrZ on 06/05/2025 - 20:30
          -3

          Huh? How is steak not Australian? Just because steak exists in other countries as well doesn't mean it can't be Australian. It's just not exclusively Australian. Same goes for burgers. Tell me what you think is Australian food?

          • stjep on 08/05/2025 - 08:50

            @MrZ: If you think anything that is common in Australia is therefore Australian then is parmigiana Australian or Italian? What about bolognaise? Lasagna? Nachos? GyG is a local chain therefore tacos and burritos are Australian, Mexico be damned?

            Your idea of what is Australian is plainly ridiculous on the face of it and it is embarrassing that you think this.

            What is Australian food is anything that is uniquely ours in origin. Not imported or didn't exist elsewhere. Nothing about steaks or burgers speaks Australia. The latter screams American.

            Uniquely Australian? Pav, I guess, though NZ also claim it. Flat white is our unique and unquestioned contribution to the culinary world.

              @stjep: I would say anything that's served at an Australia Day barbie or typical Aussie barbie could be considered to be Australian - snags, burgers, steaks, lamb chops, etc. You aren't going to find anything Italian or Mexican at such a barbie. By the way, nowhere does the Outback Steakhouse claim that everything they serve is "uniquely Australian". They are simply an Australian themed restaurant.

              • stjep on 12/05/2025 - 14:07

                @MrZ: So as long as it's painfully Anglo it is Australian? Are we saying all bread is Australian or just that square squishy Tip Top stuff? What about Turkish rolls? Onion, onion is definitely entirely Australian.

                Keep redefining shit until you've found something that works, but you've got nobody convinced.

                  @stjep: It depends on how the bread is used. For example, a snag in a piece of bread is typically Australian. Bread on it's own, no. Onion on a snag in a piece of bread, yes Australian. Onion by itself, no.

      The two spicy ones can be a bit confronting for people who don't like spice… but they're not insanely hot or anything. But if you're a wimp, definitely not for you. Try the mild or kim chi.

    Just came back from Korea and surprise how EXPENSIVE stuff is over there. Something as basic as instant noodle, we are basically paying Korean price here, when median salary in Korea is 30% lower.

    For instant noodle I nowadays only buy Nissin Japan version, but they are exepnsive here, like two dollars a pack, I just refill whenever I go to Japan.

    • Craze on 29/04/2025 - 19:13

      Is it more expensive in Korea than in HK (also known to be an expensive Asian country/city)? Have been to HK but not South Korea, and HK is expensive!

      • syswong on 29/04/2025 - 21:56

        Nongshim in Korea is about same price as HK about 0.7 to 0.8 USc and we have it best, almost always can find it at 64 USc. Japan for obvious reason making more expensive at least US$ 2 a pack.

        HK is expensive due to the low median income and inflated property market. To put this in perspective, peg rent of a 2LDK in CBD against country median income, Japan is 50%, Korea 80%, Australia is 100% and Hong Kong… 170%!!

        Hong Kong however does have the highest top 20% salary out of the four by a significant margin, guess that why high paid expats like to go HK.

        • MrZ on 02/05/2025 - 00:49

          We don't use "LDK" here in Australia. Pretty sure that's a Japanese term.

  • danielh on 03/05/2025 - 10:47

    I'm actually tempted to try the cheese ones. Right now I'm going through my Black ones I got for $6 (pack of 4) a few weeks back. I thought the flavour/soup base was ok for the black one and after the first one I had which was made strictly according to the recipe I now just enhance it with. Please note that this is just my personal preference and I'm still experimenting a bit but right now I'm enjoying this particular combo:
    1. Boil 600ml water and add to pot (normally 450ml)
    2. Add in the three packets of soup base
    3. Add in 3-4 frozen KB Prawn Hargow (plan to cook for 8-9 mins total)
    4. Add in one Chinese sausage (I love the flavour from the sausage and it permeates throughout the soup base)
    5. Add in a few dried shrimp (the flavour also permeates throughout the soup stock and is just yum)
    After 4 mins
    6. Add in the Shin Raman noodles (needs to be cooked 4.5 mins according to the instructions)
    After 3 mins
    7. Add in some vegetables like baby bok choy or broccolini etc
    8. Add in some fresh egg noodles (usually a 1-1.5 min cook time) for some extra bulk
    9. Crack an egg in my noodle bowl and give it a quick whisk (you can then either stir it in the pot or leave it raw in bowl)
    After 1.5 mins
    10. Strain the soup stock and stir in the raw egg mix into the soup. This will thicken the stock
    11. Pour in the rest of the pot into the soup bowl

    Enjoy!

    For some weird reason at least here in Brisbane they seemed to be completely OOS of Chapagetti since the start of the weekend. All the other flavours were otherwise fully stocked.
