#735: Ottogi Asian Style Instant Noodle Odongtong Myon (Seafood) Spicy Flavor

In the last week, I did a ‘Meet The Manufacturer on Indomie and have been enjoying Indonesian instant noodles. Today, I am going to try something completely different – donated by Ramen Place. It’s a Korean seafood big bowl – spicy stuff! This should be interesting as Indonesian noodles have been so different. Here we go!

Here’s the side panels.

The noodle block – looks like wide gauge noodles here.

A single seasoning pack – feels full!

It was quite full – of the red spicy powder seasoning!

Under the noodle block was the vegetables. Looks like a decent assortment.

Finished. Added some of the great local veggie mix we made and froze and a little Ajishima Salmon furikake.  The noodles in this one were really a disappointment. Very spongy. They didn’t soak up a lot of flavor either which was a bummer. The broth is good, though – it’s been a little while since I’ve had some Korean red soup broth and it was very nice. The veggies were decent too – a nice variety as well as some decent dehydrated seafood rounded things out well. Unfortunately, couldn’t get past the noodles. 2.75 out of 5.0 stars.

B2ST doing an Ottogi commercial.

So my wife and I have been listening to some different music lately. I’ve been trying to listen to the local music of the brands of noodles I’m reviewing. Yesterday we were listening to a lot of K-Pop and this one kind of stood out. ‘Nonsense’ by Koyote

#718: Ottogi Kiss Myon Spicy Chicken Flavor

Thanks to this sample from Nick over at OrderRamen, today I’m trying the third entry into the ring of ‘white broth’ ramyuns from Korea. The others, Paldo’s Kko Kko Myun and Samyang’s Nagasaki Jjampong I found to taste a lot like Jalapeno Cheese Cheetos! Very curious if Ottogi’s offering is like that too. Let’s find out!

Here’s the back of the packaging. This one’s different from the other two – right now, you can’t get the other two in the USA, but Ottogi’s got this stuff available now for US customers.

This is one big block of noodles! Awesomeness!

This is one decently filled packet of powder seasoning.

Very powdery stuff – much like the other white broth soups.

Here come the veggies!

Here are the contents of the packet.

Finished. Added a couple fried eggs with pepper and Krazy Mixed Up Salt. Starting with the noodles: very different than what I’m used to from a Korean noodle. The noodles bulked up nicely and had an interesting texture – the outermost layer was kind of like bean thread while the inside was firmer. The broth is pretty good stuff – has a nice, spicy jalapeno heat to it and had a good chicken flavor. I would not say though that this broth tastes as much like Jalapeno Cheese Cheetos, though. The veggies aren’t bad – would like to see a bit more. All in all, a pretty good bowl of noodles! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. 645175524953 – get it here!

Another version of the commercial…

Something I found interesting – there are a lot of ‘making of’ videos of famous Korean stars and their instant noodle commercials! Amazing@!

This guy is REALLY popular in Korea!

 

 

 

#495: Ottogi Jin Ramen (Mild) Asian Style Instant Noodle

I’m going to guess that this is about the same as the Ottogi Jin Ramen (Hot) except it will lack the heat. Yeah that makes sense I think.

A couple packets – powder and veggies…

Lots of powder and veggies on this one!

I boiled a couple of eggs in with this one as it is breakfast.

Finished. So the noodles are kinda chewy and nice. The veggies re-hydrated nicely and the broth was good, although I do like the spiciness of the hot. Not bad! 3.25 out of 5.0 stars. Find it here.

Buy it all.

When I was on KIRO radio…

#485: Ottogi Asian Style Instant Noodle Hot & Spicy Ramen Cup

Sounds like a pretty standard cup noodle. Thing is is that it’s Korean, so this kind of spicy is different than most spicy stuff.

One packet. Stalwart and unmoving.

Quite a bit of powder was in that packet. Reddish powder!!!

So here we are after the hot water bath. So it’s spicy. Really spicy! A sip of the soup coats the mouth in a tasty and hearty heat along with some nice negetable flavor. The noodles were very standard – about what you’d expect. Not too bad, very basic and kind of boring. 3.0 out of 5.0 stars – a good base of operations for adding some chicken, fish or an egg to!
