Here’s another one sent by Meilina K. of Indonesia! Soto I’ve had before has had a very nice lime flavor to it I very much enjoyed. Curious if this one will be the same. Let’s see!
The back of the packaging.
A piece of the noodle block.
Dry seasonings: base on the left and chili powder on the right.
Base with chili powder atop.
Seasoned oil.
Dark and a little murky!
Finished. Added a hard-boiled egg, some veggies, some roasted chicken, a little Ajishima Kimchi furikake, some kizami shoga (pickled ginger), some Melinda’s Garlic Habanero hot sauce and a pinch of Krazy Mixed Up Salt. Okay so the noodles were a little banged up during the voyage from Indonesia, but they’re still pretty good – Fluffy noodles. The broth has that nice salty and tasty lime taste that I’ve found in other Soto varieties. Good stuff! 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 089686017717 .
Here’s one that was sent to me by Moon Hee Wi, the journalist who wrote the article in the JoongAng Ilbo a couple weeks ago! Thanks! Let’s give it a try!
The back of the package.
This is a pretty big rectangular noodle block!
Seasoning powder?
Nice reddish color.
The vegetable packet.
Looks like an okay amount.
Finished. Added an egg, a slice of processed cheese, some onions and some kimchi. The noodles are great – not too chewy and loads of them. The broth is a typical fiery hot Korean style ramyun broth – without the fire. The veggies hydrated decently and were a little different than others – a little chewier. Good stuff! Definitely a must for someone who’s scared of the heat of Korean ramyun. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 8801045520117 – get the US version here.
Hey look – another big JM cup! This one’s from Michelle L. of Mew York, NY. Thanks again! Seafood, huh? Sounds good.
Side panels.
It put up a small fight, but I got it out of there.
Powder seasonging packet.
This stuff is very fine grained; to the point that it almost looked like a fine vapor as I got the last tiny smidges into this cup.
Seasoned oil!
Kind of looks like cream of mushroom – kind of like the stuff from the JML Artificial Mushroom Chicken one I did recently. This one has a much better bouquet though.
The veggie packet.
Looks kind of light on the veggies. I guess we’ll see how they effect the flavor.
Finished. Added some veggies, some odeng, Tabasco Buffalo Style hot sauce and some Ajishima Salmon furikake. The noodles are, well, lackluster. They don’t have much character – kind of spongy and boring. The broth has that same distinct aftertaste of the mushroom chicken JML I had recently, although a bit less so. It’s not amazing stuff, although now with additions it’ll be a nice meal. By itself, 3.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 6921555571767 .
You like it hot? This stuff is good and it delivers some decent heat too. I’ve had the cup, the pack and now, the big bowl. Wonder if there’s a regulkar sized bowl? Hmmm…
The directions and other info panels off the sideand top of the bowl.
The single packet stands alone in all of it’s red fury.
The veggies were already in the bowl. All we need now is boiling water.
Finished. Added a couple fried eggs and some Krazy Mixed Up Salt. The noodles were good – standard Ottogi style. They weren’t really chewy per se but they stood their ground. The broth was quite spicy, as promised. The veggies plumped up nicely. All around hot and spicy fun time. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. Haven’t seen these big ones around, but you can get the cups here and the packages here.
Here’s a commercial for it.
This lady is into a couple of my most often used seasonings – kind of a review.
I thought this looked interesting. I don’t usually see any kind of ‘mild’ flavors coming out of Korea, but here you see one. Here we go!
One single packet.
Nice looking veggies and seasoning…
Nice and tasty – not really any heat (mild I said mild), which is kind of a bummer but not unexpected here. The noodles were decent, the veggies got big and the broth was tasty. Nice cup of noodles. 3.0 out of 5.0 stars. Get it here.
