So people, do you tried any Korean instant noodles before? Yes or no, we have listed out 4 popular Korean instant noodles brands for you to choose from.
If you like to eat very spicy food, and ordinary Samyang Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen (Korean: 불닭볶음면, buldak-bokkeum-myeon) is not so spicy for you, then you should try Samyang 2X or 3X Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen. As its name suggests, its spiciness is twice or triple as much as normal. All ingredients of these instant noodles are the same as ordinary Samyang spicy noodles. If you want to try these instant noodles, make sure you prepare a large glass of ice water or milk on the table.
Other than Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen, Samyang also produces other types of instant noodles like Buldak Ramen Carbonara Big Bowl, Buldak Ramen Jjajang, Buldak Ramen Mala, Buldak Ramen Curry, Buldak Ramen Cheese, and many more.
Remember to check out their Buldak Sauce, you can use it to mix with your noodles as suggested in the post below.
Nongshim Shin Ramen (Red/ Black) includes dried beef and vegetable slices. The soup base of these instant noodles has the flavour of Seolleongtang.
Other than Ramen, Nongshim also sells Spicy Seafood Flavour Soup Noodles. This product is similar to Nongshim Shin Ramen, but the difference is that it has spicy seafood soup and the soup base goes well with the chewy ramen.
Nongshim Chapagetti Noodle is a combination of Korean Jjajang myeon and spaghetti noodles. The fried soy sauce of this instant noodle is sweet, and it is made up of a variety of spices.
