Here’s a big bowl of noodles sent a while back by Michelle L. of New York. Stew beef sounds good to me!
Side panels.
A fork!
A good sized noodle block.
Powder seasoning.
Very light powder.
Paste packet.
Pretty thick stuff!
Veggie packet.
Looks like a nice smattering.
Finished. Added a fried egg with some Krazy Mixed Up Salt, some red bell pepper, broccoli and onions, and a little roast beef I sauteed with a touch of Cavender’s All Purpose Greek Seasoning. Noodles are slightly spongy but all in all pretty good. The broth is really good – has a great beef flavor with just the right amount of oil. Veggies were decent. A nice big bowl of noodles! Well done! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 6921555571866 – get it here.
One of the most awesome instant noodle commercials ever.
A couple of days ago, I received an email from a man who was angry. He was angry that the instant noodles he bought said that they were spicy Chicken flavor but weren’t spicy whatsoever and that I needed to change the seasonings ASAP. Every once in a while, I get a comment or email from someone who thinks that I make instant noodles or am affiliated with an instant noodle company. I decided to reply and do a review of the product he had problems with, adding some hot spices, sauces and peppers from around the world to really heat it up. It then occurred to me that a lot of people really like spicy instant noodles and that there’s really no list of the hottest ones out there. I figured I’d better do something about that, and so here’s the Top Ten Spiciest Instant Noodles Of All Time!
#10: Koka Instant Non-Fried Noodles Spicy Black Pepper Flavour – Singapore
If you like black pepper, you’ll want to try this. It has a nice peppery sauce that has a rich and deep black pepper flavor that doesn’t quit. The garnish of dried veggies are an added bonus. Original review
#9: Wei Lih Good Good Eat Super Ramen Hot Chili Flavor – Taiwan
Has decent noodles and a deep red broth that exclaims ‘beware of fire!’ The broth also has an oily texture and sweet notes that make it quite unique in its fire. Original review
#8: Paldo (Korea Yakult) Kko Kko Myun – South Korea
The result of a comedian on a competition TV show in South Korea, Kko Kko Myun has been a huge craze. The flavor is a jalapeno chicken – and the jalapeno is nice and strong. Has a real good bite to it. Original review
#7: FoodMon DJ-DOC Jjolmyeon – South Korea
DJ-Doc is a hip-hop group in South Korea and they must be pretty happy to have their faces on this stuff. In this bowl, you have noodles, large pieces which are rice cake and a red sauce which has a wonderful heat and flavor. It all ties together to be like a hot and spicy lasagna ala South Korea. Wonderful stuff! Original review
#6: JML Instant Noodle Artificial Spicy Hot Beef Flavour – China
A very spicy Chinese noodle soup. Notice its not spicy beef, it’s spicy hot beef! Has decent veggies and a serious punch! Original review
#5: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Noodle Soup – USA
Yep – they make this is the USA now. A standard of the spicy noodle world! Hot and tasty with lots of thick noodles. Original review
#4: Namchow Mee Jang Noodle Soup Sour Spicy Chicken (Tom Yum) – Thailand
The packaging looks pretty tame but this stuff is anything but. The broth is enough to blow your head off – wow! Original review
#3: Nongshim Jinjja Jinjja (Really Really) Ramyun – South Korea
This is hot and unique. Based on pork broth and has some niceties like black sesame seeds and peanut powder. Has a strong heat but it’s got some really great taste to it – this is awesome stuff! Original review
#2: Indomie Curly Noodle With Chicken & Chilli Paddi – Indonesia
Sweet mother – this is intense! That little pepper (also known as a Bird’s Eye pepper) was enough to burn my lips, mouth and gut for a good long time! Heavy duty! I should also mention there’s a place that sells spicy noodles in Jakarta that has 75 to 100 of these peppers mixed in – Imagination fails me as to the scorching pain! Original review
#1: Paldo Teumsae Instant Noodles With Soup – South Korea
Hands down, bar non, this is the hottest stuff I’ve had. In over 800 varieties I’ve tried, this is the very hottest. From the first slurp to the end of the bowl, my mouth was on fire. If you are a big fan of all that is spicy, this is what you are looking for. Original review
Here’s a big cup my sister brought me back from Canada this year. Sounds good on a nice sunny day.
Here’s the side panels – click to enlarge.
The noodle block.
The seasoning powder.
Plenty of it.
Liquid base.
Looks like an oyster – kinda…
The veggies!
Looks like a nice little smorgasbord…
Finished. Added onions and a couple dashes of Texas Pete Hot Sauce. The broth was rather greasy and a little lighter of a flavor than I’d expected. The noodles were just plain boring; they didn’t really soak up any flavor. The veggies were okay. 3.0 out of 5.0 stars.UPC bar code 6921555586235 .
Korean pork belly – there’s really nothing like it!
청춘의 밤 The Night of Youth (1933)

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 .
Here’s another one of the big bowls that Michelle L. of New York sent. Stew Pork eh? Let’s give this one a try.
The side panels.
Hooray! A fork!
Here’s the noodle block.
Powder seasoning.
Yeah this one taste a whole lot better than the mushroom chicken one that smelled like burnt plastic!
Veggies!
They look pretty decent.
The liquid seasoning.
Looks funny I know but this really livens things up!
Finished. Added a slice of processed cheese and some beef lunch meat. The noodles are a little on the weak side; they are good, but they could be better. The broth is lighter than I expected; I really expected salty but that wasn’t the case – nice stewed pork taste. The veggies were not all that great; they re-hydrated but weren’t awesome. All said and done, not bad but could be better. 3.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 6921555571668 .
Uh but it said JM L Commercial 1 in the title… Just doesn’t seem right.
