My Aunt and her daughter went to an Asian store in San Francisco and picked up some noodles for me! Here’s one of them. Been wanting to re-review therm for a while! Thanks!!!
Here’s the back of the package.
The noodle block.
The seasoning packet. Kind of interesting; usually the seasonings are in a red packet and veggies in green, but this one’s backwards!
Lots of spicy red powder!
The veggie packet.
Looks like a nice mixture.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added kimchi, egg, onion, processed cheese and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are really nice and buttery – wasn’t expecting that; they’re better than I remembered! The broth has a nice heat and a strong tang to it. The veggies are nice as well. Does it taste like kimchi? Yeah – it’s got a nice kimchi flavor to it – spicy and has that kimchi tanginess. Good stuff – 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 031146181018 – get it here.
Here’s a video I did a while back where I cook Nongshim Shin Ramyun Black.
Been quite a while since I reviewed this one – it was #348. I thought some kimchi sounded really good and so here we go!
Here are the side panels (click to enlarge).
The noodles block.
The seasoning packet!
Seasoning powder! Red and tasty!
Here are a little bit of the veggies from the bottom.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added processed cheese, an egg, sweet onion and kimchi. The noodles are good – thin and plentiful. The broth is great – spicy and tasty. The veggies are nice too! This is a nice kimchi noodle bowl! 3.5 out of 5.0 stars! UPC bar code 648436100040 – get it here.
Here’s a new one we got at Uwajimaya. This looks really good! Nothing says tasty like a little bit of Japanese mayonnaise! Let’s check it out!
Here are close-ups of the text on top, the side and the bottom (click to enlarge).
Here’s the lid (click to enlarge). Notice the top left has a pour spout!
The noodle block – big and rectangular.
Here’s the front and back of the yakisoba sauce packet.
A good sized veggie packet.
Looks like some niceties like cabbage and other tasty bits.
Spice packet?
Interesting; I expected chili powder but I taste seaweed and sesame seed.
Here we go! A mayonnaise packet! You can get all artsy with this one – use scissors and cut off a corner to get a thin stream.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added stir-fry vegetables, some baked chicken with Lindberg-Snider Red Baron BBQ Spice, kizami shoga (pickled ginger) and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles were really nice – floffy and almost buttery. The yakisoba sauce really makes it all quite tasty and the mayonnaise is really a nice addition – adds a bit of interesting comfort food notion. The vegetables were good – primarily cabbage, but it was crunchy! Good stuff – 4.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 011152219875 .
What an awesome commercial – squeezing the mayonnaise packets!
A nice little sampling of Japanese commercials from the mid 90’s.
Thought this looked worth trying. Vegetables and noodles. Sure why not.
Here’s the flavoring packet if you want to call it that. It says Vegetables and Eggs though… I am truly unhappy – I didn’t take a picture of this and I’m really bummed and truly sorry. It looked like a brick of freeze-dried vegetable omelet. When I poured boiling water on it, it disintegrated and started fluffing up almost immediately.
Here’s the ingredients and nutrition facts off the side of ther bowl.
Yeah… There it is. Well, it wasn’t what I’d hoped for. What did I hope for? A good bowl of noodles. I was skeptical when I saw they were bean thread. The large amount of mushroom and cabbage and odd hydrated egg was amazing. I think if this were spicy and they’d used fried noodles that I would have liked it much better. Long story short, I’m not pleased. 1.5 out of 5.0 stars. Find it here.
I’ve been waiting for the right time to review this and today is it. Potato noodles eh? I’ve had sweet potato noodles in the Baijia brand offerings and been quite unhappy with them. Hopefully Nong Shim can make the potato happy again…
Two decently sized packets – veggies and powder.
From the scent, I think this is going to be a spicy one!
Finished product. So I was correct – it is quite spicy. The soup was hot and spicy and the noodles… Drumroll please… Were awesome! They were quite chewy as advertised and enjoyable. The veggies were an array of cabbage, carrots and corn. Awesome stuff. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars!
This is a commercial for pork potato noodles from Nong Shim.
