      Once you go Black, you don't go back!!

  • ClintonL on 05/05/2025 - 17:09

    So 1 packet of noodles isn't enough for me, anyone know if there are plain noodles you can add in that are similar to the shin ones to add to it without wasting another packet of shin?

      It's plenty of calories and especially salt. If you want to fill it out, add a protein (like egg)

        If you don't like the taste of egg, you can also try frankfurts, soybean sprout, chopped womboks, garlics, spam or tofu. Those are common add-ons in Korea.

        And a tablespoon of peanut butter, thank me later

          My bro told me to try it a few years ago
          It was good

      I'm not sure if you can get plain noodles of a similar quality cheaply. Even the homebrand stuff is like $2 these days and the quality is obviously much different. I usually just add a cheap packet of noodles to pad out any flavoured noodles I cook. My wife bought some plain noodles (don't remember the brand) from a Korean supermarket and they were pretty good quality but I don't think they were cheap.

      I did buy a 10 pack of Fantastic instant noodles the other day. They look better than the homebrand ones but I haven't actually had them yet (or at least haven't had them for a very very long time). Maybe someone else can confirm if they are of decent quality?

      • wavesgreen on 05/05/2025 - 23:39

        The Fantastic ones are fine, not great but not terrible. I use them whenever I want to pad out some better quality noodles, or they are also good just in soups, etc, during the colder months.

        I stock up whenever they are on half-price special. $2.45 for 10 is damn good value.

    • Dream-cast on 05/05/2025 - 17:42

      Asian grocers will have packs of plain instant style noodles. May not be exactly the same as shin ramyun and probably more like Maggi.

      Ottogi plain instant noodles is of similar texture sans soup powders but they are often similar in price compared to those with flavour. We normally save half of the soup packets and use them in other dishes instead. They are great as rub, marinates or as stock in casserole dishes.

      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 the below recipe.

      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)A
      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

        True follower of the instant noodle path.

      • illusion99 on 05/05/2025 - 19:05

        why do you need to strain? What's the difference from just pouring the soup and noodles straight into the raw egg mix?

        • danielh on 05/05/2025 - 21:42

          Not really strain, more pour from the saucepan and hold back the noodles with a chopstick etc.
          Pouring the soupier bits first allows me to mix in the eggs into the broth better. Once you plonk in the ingredients along with the soup, it makes it harder to mic the soup throughout the whole dish.

      I've been using Vit's from Asian grocers to increase the amount of noodle - they're usually $3.00-$3.50 for a pack of 10 and look like this. Texture isn't exactly the same as Korean noodles cause it's a Malaysian brand but I don't really notice it when it's mixed together.

      • MT2010 on 05/05/2025 - 18:55

        I use thin spaghetti to top up, or any spaghetti once I finished the original noodle. I only need the soup base and add any noodle (Udon) which is $3+ or just spaghetti.

      The Korean way is adding leftover Rice.

    • Suricate on 05/05/2025 - 22:22

      Just add cooked rice after finishing the noodles

    • Suricate on 05/05/2025 - 23:59

      Not similar but I like this one
      https://www.sempio.com/market/noodles/16
      You can get it from Korean grocery stores

    Good luck getting one.. Always sold out.

  • danielh on 05/05/2025 - 17:56

    I only just finished packet 1 of 4 from the last deal. If you are 'lucky', the local Woolworths will be sold out and you can get a rain check. I got a rain check for my Coles Non Shim Black noodles a few weeks ago. I'm assuming WW still does rain checks as well.

  • GunnerMcDagget on 05/05/2025 - 19:53

    For anyone that doesn't like the spice, the Nissin Ramen noodles have some of the best noodles I have eaten in a quick noodle packet. The soup itself isn't bad either. Nice creamy tonkotsu/shintaku flavour. But the noodles are the shining light.

  • smifter on 05/05/2025 - 19:54

    You could always follow Chef Park's tried and tested combo. If you don't know Chef Park, you are in for a treat. He is a Korean Michelin starred chef, running a fine dining restaurant in Italy. This is is go-to Instant Ramen Noodles meal. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW62RWXMlTc

    How do they compare to other ones which are on sale this week at woolies? Wife has been asking me to get her some. They are $5 for 4-5 packs.

  • Budju on 05/05/2025 - 20:54

    Nong Shin, interesting

  • Attaca on 06/05/2025 - 08:19

    How spicy is this one vs the red shin ramyun?

      Less spicy compared to og shin, more depth of flavour. I prefer shin black, my mrs prefers og.

    Genuine question, do all the lovers of these know about the palm oil factor? I don't want to preach at all, I just stopped eating these (which I friggin love) because of it. I thought NongShim were ok because I saw a claim they're using sustainable, but then I dug into it and looks like 2.5-4% of their palm oil is sustainable. Meaning the rest is likely coming from places that are doing devastating things to the ecosystem there (particularly critically endangered species like types of Orangutans).

    Again, not preaching, just putting it out there in case someone wasn't aware and does care.

    • when2buy on 06/05/2025 - 14:24

      i never knew that might have to give them a miss from now on

      • spendybeans on 06/05/2025 - 15:28

        Unfortunately it's not just this company. Loads of places (not just noodles, but it's a fairly large percentage of noodles I believe, rather than a smaller additive amount) add palm oil from terrible sources. If it's not explicitly declared, it's often hidden under the guise of "vegetable oil" so we often can't even see if it's being used.

        The worst part to me is that it doesn't really bring anything to the table except it's local to where these things are manufactured and cheap (because they often illegally raze huge areas of forest and plant palm there).

        Really sad state of affairs honestly.
