Re-Review: Meet The Manufacturer: Nongshim Neoguri Spicy Seafood Udon Type Noodles

Here’s some more seafoodiness! Red broth heat and seafood comes together!

Here’s the back of the package.

The noodle block – notice the wider gaugae noodles.

The hot red seasoning packet!

This is the stuff!

The vegetable packet.

The vegetables. Looks like some seafood flake in there as well.

Finished. Added some onions, jalapenos, an egg and some odeng.  The noodles are wider for sure – not a huge amount wider but wider. They’re also a little chewier too. The broth was very nice – spicy and seafood flavored. The vegetable mixture wasn’t bad. Pretty good! 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 031146150304 – get it here.

Here’s a really old Neoguri commercial!

Someone just informed me that Neoguri means raccoon – and I just found this video with the Neoguri song!

#663: Paldo Jjajangmen (Blackbean Flavor)

Here’s one I’ve been meaning to get to and here we go! Thisd one is from Greg B. of Marathon, FL! Thanks Greg – let’s give this one a try!

Here’s the back of the package. Notice the noodles are prepared a little differently. Also notice the ingredients in that sauce [acket!

Here’s the big noodle block – very wide noodles too.

This is a pretty good sized sauce packet!

Here’s the back of it.

Finished. So what I did was I let the packet heat in the pot with the noodles. After they’d cooked, I drained the noodles and put everything in the pot, stirred a ton and put it all in the bowl. This is very different – I honestly did not expect to like this – but I most certainly do. The noodles are very thick and chewy and they get nicely coated in the black bean sauce. The sauce is very flavorful – I’ve had Jjangmen varieties before and the sauce was much ticker and more paste-like. This is truly a nice sauce – complete with veggies (those are what are on top). I was very pleasantly surprised. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars – delicious and satisfying. UPC barcode 648436100590 .

Here’s how to make some homemade Jjajangmen.
