Let the circlejerk begin!

Hey guys SwEEt[TearS] here bringing you the 2nd of a long series of Ramen, Udon and other good asian stuff reviews.

Today, for your delight and entertainment, I will be reviewing Nong Shim's very, very, very famous Shin Ramyun.

[image loading]

As in my previous Ramen, Udon and all that good stuff blog, I would like to first of all link the threads that are very important for you to become a master of instant goods.

Also, 5stars because it's Shin Ramyun etc etc.



Let's get on with the review shall we?
FYI, I'll be referring to scallions, spring onions or green onions as spring onions just to remove any confusion~

edit: holy fuck didn't see it's the nutritive facts for half a pack sadfaceeeeeeeeeee


This is honestly one of the best instant ramens to put in your daily diet. With a somewhat reasonable amount sodium (which is very rare) and a low caloric value, it makes this meal very viable to lose weight. As far as intake compared to other ramens, this one ranks in at least the top 5. It beats, and by far, Ippeichan Yakisoba.

[image loading]

By opening the package, you'll understand why it owns. Not only is the portion bigger (120g versus the usual 100g or 80g), the mix of dried vegetables is awesome. Dried Shiitake mushrooms, as well as dried spring onions and chili flakes, hmm hmm good. (sorry totally forgot to get a close up of that lol)

Now, there are many ways to make instant ramen. There is the "I'm a busy/lazy person" way (add nothing), the "I'm learning" way (adding egg(s) and spring onions, the method I used) and the "I watched Ramen Girl a bit too much" way (adding vegetables and meat to make it a complete nutritive meal).

I've often been asked how I prepare it so that the egg doesn't flake in the broth (you'll know if you tried that adding an egg in a boiling soup then mixing it will make it flake, leaving it intact will soft-boil it). Well, here's my secret:
[image loading]

That's right, preparing it just like you'd do for an omelette. By doing this, you make it a liquid and it gets even heat while remaining together. 30 seconds later, mix a bit to break it up in smaller pieces and enjoy

[image loading]

Oh hai.
[image loading]

Om nom nom.
I seperated it in two piles. The right pile will be used in the broth while cooking the noodles because I find steamed spring onions adds a great taste to the broth and the noodles. The left side will be used to put on top when everything is done, to keep a fresh and crunchy side to the dish.

Instructions tell you to put 550ml of water and bring to boiling point, then dump everything and stir for 3 minutes. Yet again, they are spot on as far as noodle texture goes. If you're going to dump an egg, do it @ the 2 minute mark. An egg takes anywhere from 45 seconds to 1:15min to cook, depending of your heat and method of dropping it.

Result!

Close up to show you that there are nearly no egg flakes

Beer and Sriracha ^^
Sadly, we don't get a lot of choices when it comes to Asian beers in Quebec. Asahi and Kirin Ichiban are probably the 2 best, and I was all out of Kirin Ichiban

[image loading]

awwwwwwwwwwww damn.



Final Review:

Texture: Awesome texture. The noodles are very good and high quality, they remain chewy and soft and sexy all at the same time. The dried veggies are awesome as well, mainly because shiitake mushrooms are win. 10/10

Taste: Probably the best instant Ramen you'll ever eat, if you love it spicy. This ain't no pussy stuff. First time I ate it, I had to drink every 2-3 bites because it was that awesome (and I claimed to eat "very spicy" at the time). The broth is very consistent and you'll want to slurp it all, even if you can't feel your tongue anymore. It is that good. And most important of all: it's not just spicy spicy. It has good depth, you can feel other flavors too. 11/10

Nutritive Value: 9/10. Nuff said. Drink water, sweat and increase your potassium levels = eat moar ramen.

Overall Score: 11/10. Eat it, ffs.

Hope you enjoyed this blog ^^ Thanks for reading!

edit: just realized the nutritive facts are for half a pack t_t gonna go sob in a corner now.

Sriracha is good for the first 2 seconds, then it just tastes like burning. But I agree beer is a good downer for spicy food.
Ramen by itself, meh ;/ Only for the desperate college student.

I know alot of ppl will get pissed at me for saying this but Shin Ramyun is pretty bad. I've tried various Korean/ Japanese / American Ramen and I'd have to say that some Japanese ramen, and particular Korean ramen (forgot brand name) definately beats Shin Ramen

But Japanese/American Ramen is completely a different type of food than Korean Ramyuns.

I'm not saying they're worse, I love them just as much, but I don't think you should compare them like that.

P.S. : Best looking ramyun I've seen outside of a boonshikjum. I only eat Shin Ramyun

Ramen is ramen though. And we're discussing about the taste factor of them. So I don't see why they can't be compared as long as they are in the same ramen category

you're gonna get shanked if you bash it some more :O (not me I swear! I like lots of different ramen)
But I can see where you're coming from. There are a lot of tasty Jap/Kr ramen, but personally I find when it comes to spicy noodles, Shin Ramyun and Mi Goreng win by far. I didn't dip all that much in the other flavors (mostly miso and seafood for now) but some different reviews are coming soon, stay tuned !

my taste buds died from Shin Ramyun overdose
idk, I got to the point where I can aknowledge it's spicy, but not the same level of spicyness as when I first tried it.

I don't add a ton of it though lol, I'm not crazy t_t

PS: and yeah I often add green/yellow beans, carrots, beansprouts, red onions, tofu, kimchi and other veggies/meat but I decided to go with the somewhat easy version for review purposes ^^ Trying to keep the main flavor of it to not be biased you know?

Notice how I said Ramyun, and how on the cover it says Ramyun not Ramen. They have completely different tastes and ingredients. We're discussing Shin Ramyun here, not how ramen tastes.

Ok to any one who eats ramen or noodles, you HAVE to try this sauce. Seriously, for the past few years now, I have only been using this sauce in combination with sriracha. I cant eat any noodles without this sauce.

Here it is:

Been using that for awhile, its VERY sweet and has a hint of garlic flavor (First or 2nd ingredient is sugar I think). Its a great condiment or dipping sauce for meats.

wow you make it very nicely haha. i don't add in anything when i eat it. i should learn how to put in egg so that it doesn't spread though, i hate it when it spreads. it makes the soup non-spicy which isn't the point of eating shin ramen

The first time i had Shin ramyun i chugged a 7up right after. Lets just say they didn't mix well in my stomach. I guess I'm used to it now however.

in canada at least I found it in any local grocery store in the section with the rest of the instant noodles. Doesn't need to be an asian food store at all.

shin ramyun is just too peppery. i can handle the spiciness, but there's not much taste to it because of the peppers. neoguri is my favorite korean instant ramyun.

adding sriracha to shin ramyun is like adding ketchup to spaghetti. that mae ploy sweet sauce is godly on fried chicken.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You're just WEAK, WEAK I tells ye!

No seriously, I love it. It's an acquired taste I guess, since I guess it is pretty high proof, but once you get used to it, it's amazing TBH.

I'm so glad the grocery store in this tiny-ass rural town has Shin Ramyun AND the spicy Nong Shim Bowl Noodle thing at only a dollar each for both products. I'm from Toronto, so this satiates my need for spicy noodle dishes until I go back...

I just paid $2 for the spicy cup ramen. Ethnic foods don't sell very cheap in less populated areas because there's less demand for them.

Wow that's exactly the same as my stock of noodles.

I eat Shin Ramyun with hotdogs and eggs. Holy Jesus I need more vegetables up in there. I'm going to die of malnutrition in this land of plenty.

When I first got Shin Ramyun I was just blown away. I was like "round? ROUND? Why did I never think that it should be this way!?" Plus there's the added benefit of it being spicy enough to warm your whole body up. I like to eat some before I play SC so my hands stay warm longer.

Yeah Nong Shim is probably the best brand for Korean style instant noodles.

Interesting story: The first time I tried nongshim was in a hotel room in Egypt with like 5 Korean guys playing SC. I felt really Korean.

The Shin Ramyun in Korea is different though, its spicier.

I thought so... It's spicier in Singapore as well. They just have to tone it down for the nooby white guys.

Used to have a few bowls a week until I noticed the sodium content. Completely dropped instant ramen afterwards.

I suppose I wouldn't mind having actual kimchi with freshly cooked noodles, but the instant stuff is pure garbage once you've had the authentic stuff.
