Bump.
Anyone know where to find this stuff in the US. I checked this local asian food store but they don't carry Shin Ramyun.
just grab a phone book and call around. Have fun with their engrish though lol.
Only like 1-2 places I know of carry the shit, and I live in So Cal/Orange County where there are tons of asian stores.
btw OP, 94%DV 2200mg sodium is hardly low lmao

I'll try that, thanks.

Chuiu, it really depends where you live. I live in a place where at least the population is 30% Asian so it is pretty easy to find a Korean supermarket that stocks Shin Ramyun.
Korean supermarkets are your best chance. Or follow CharlieMurphy's advice with the phone book.

Noodles really suck lol. Sure they might be a decent meal once in a while but they are so unhealthy; fast carbs with trans-fat + full of weird chemicals in the spice bag.
|
See if you've got a Lotte or Korean Korner in your area?
|
I know they carry these types of noodles at any regular grocery store where I live. There is usually an ethnic food isle at the store, that's the best place to look.

seriously? how do you not have anywhere that doesnt sell these? They are Americans then not asians :l

Yeah I live around omaha, ne and we don't have a korean market afaik. We have a Thailand one which stocks all sorts of other asian foods to accommodate other ethnicities but their instant noodle selection is mostly Thailand brands like Wai Wai.

Not in a million years out here would I find a variety of asian brands in a local grocery store. The ethnic food isle are usually like a quarter of an isle and have very limited selection.

I remember seeing Kimchi Bowl Noodles (a Nongshim product, same company that makes these Shin Noodles) in Loblaws. Loblaws is like, ugh, Dominion / Valu-Mart / Price Choppers / No Frills / Food Basics / you get the idea. So I think a few large food store places will have some Nongshim products, and Shin Noodle should be one of the first ones there.
Do take notice that depending on where you buy you Shin Noodle, it might have been packaged specifically for export - this means that yes, the nutritional facts and whatnot are in English (and also in French if you live in Canada), but also the spicyness is adjusted to better suit North Americans. Actually I'm not sure if Shin Noodles come in export-only, but I'm sure those Kimchi Bowl Noodles are different. If you see a "수출용" mark on your Korean instant noodle, it means "for export" and it probably has its spice powder stuff adjusted. Mind you, if you pour it all, it's still going to be spicy.

Local grocery stores here have started carrying both Sapporo Ichiban and Shin Ramyun. I'm talking like Smith's, Albertson's and even Food4Less.
|
I'm not a huge fan of Korean instant noodles because the texture of the noodles doesn't appeal to me, but they always smell great.
|
love spicy food, hmmmm
cock sauce is bombs
|
I never liked this noodle and oh I tried I bought boxes and emptied them.
|
So I finally found a place that has the cup form of this noodle and bought one. Gotta say its about the right amount of spicyness that I like, flavor is good, noodles were the same as every other cup noodle but the vegetables and flavoring made it awesome.
I couldn't find a bottle of the mae ploy sweet chili sauce (even though I remember my parents had one not just a few months ago from the grocery store) but I did get a bottle of Maggi sweet chili sauce. And I'm glad I did, the mae ploy stuff is a lot sweeter than maggi and got sick of it easily but the maggi stuff had a better balance, imo. Combined probably 2 tbsp into the cup and it was almost perfect.
Now I feel more comfortable ordering a box of the stuff off Amazon. The cup noodle of it I found was $2 at Hy-Vee (freakin expensive for dried ramen). I checked a different Hy-Vee and about 4 other grocery stores prior to this one, I only went to this one by chance because I was returning home from Barnes and Noble and it was nearby. (ps. I've started reading the Alvin Maker series by Card)

Shin is not very spicy at all.
There are so many better alternatives :3
But it still tastes pretty good I guess. I just like my ramen as spicy as possible.

I know everyone has different tolerance levels... But, to be frank with such high levels of heat there is practically no flavor. I guess people would rather have the intense spiciness than any flavor at all.
edit: I tried 1 package of noodles and 2 bags of soup base, IT WAS WTFBBQHOLYSHITTHISISHOT! And a side note, when ever I make noodles that use powder soup bases, I tend to save some and add it on the noodles at the end. Then I mixed it, to me it gives the noodles more flavor.

Instant ramen owns both japan and korea. People in these two countries just can't live without it.
Kinda like some americans can't live without mcdonalds burger.
Eat shin ramen with bottle of vodka or soju.

Man I love shin ramyun. They sell it all over the place where I live  !
