If you’re a true ramen addict, you already know how much those little toppings can totally change the whole bowl lol.

For me, Shin Original has that clean, straight-up spicy broth, so I go with bean sprouts, green onions, and water dumplings to keep it light and fresh. When I want it richer, mozzarella cheese + a poached egg is straight perfection.

Shin Black on the other hand? That deep, beefy bone broth flavor is next level with mung bean sprouts, pan-fried dumplings, chives, sliced cheese, and a soft-boiled egg. That combo is unbeatable.

You guys agree? Or what are your secret cheat toppings for each? Hit me with them 😂

Like:

Bean sprouts vs regular sprouts

Pan-fried dumplings vs water dumplings

Green onions vs chives

Sliced cheese vs mozzarella

Enoki mushrooms vs shiitake

Onion vs bok choy

Soft-boiled egg vs poached egg

I need fellow ramen nerds who actually get these tiny differences! 😂

Added a fried egg, sesame, and some nori on top.

This post took me 3 1/2 hrs at my keyboard to make. reddit kept adding 2-4 copies of photos. When adding captions to photos they would not stay. Or they would show up on another photo. And a LOT of other issues. They must be glitching today.

For pic 1, I'm trying n2m Seafood ramen. I've had the regular Naguri plenty. Gonna see if the "Stir-Fry" is different.

Pic 2, This is very good. I grab a few when I can. I've never seen it in a Pak. Only as a Single and Bowl. The first time I tried this, I was very impressed.

Pic 3, Was new on the shelf. I've never seen Menraku outside of their more Premium two serving paks. I never knew that Menraku made big packs of "regular" style ramens.

Pic 4, I'm not a Shoyu fan. But thought I'd show this for those that are.

Pic 5, More Nongshim seafood. I will try this next. I've had a "Spicy Octopus" ramen. But wasn't impressed. Not really seafoody.

Pic 6, I've only seen one other Rabokki ramyun. Never tried one though. Have you?

I'm looking to up my seafood game trying other ramen. Looking for a solid Spice note. With some heat on the side. Hence the stir fry variety. That Vifon Pork, man that was good. I bought the brand, not specifically this soup, after I saw that kinda nutty guy tour the Vifon factory and store. I wasn't expecting anything. Just hooked up a bowl and watched a show. As I was slurping up, I realized that it was very good. If you've ever want to try Vietnamese style noodle soups. You can't go wrong starting here.

With the Menraku, I've enjoyed many of their 2 serving ramens. And I do like Spicy Miso ramens. So I saw this and grabbed a 5 pk. The other two Menraku are on the edge for me. As I don't like ramens with a forward sesame taste. The same with shoyu ramens. The Nissan Demae Black Oil ramen is as sesame as I like to get.

Chime in with your thoughts, likes, and dislikes.

Call me blasphemous for having it without chicken but to be honest the Tempura shrimp combo was amazing! ✨️best bite✨️ photo included with teriyaki flavoured seaweed, noodles, shrimp and cucumber.

But I've had better fish balls than these tbh

Can anyone tell me if this specific type of noodles contains any animal-derived ingredients?
I’m vegetarian, and I can’t find any animal ingredients listed on the packaging. However, just to be safe, I asked Gemini, and it made me really paranoid by suggesting that the soup base might be made with river snail broth.
Does anyone know anything about this specific product or this particular package? Thanks in advance!

Very lazy lunch with frozen dumplings 🥟

I found this new nissin flavour I haven't tried it before so how does it taste is it very spicy ?

Saw this at the store and picked it up because I was curious about the jjajangmyeon flavour. Has anyone here tried it? Is it worth trying?

Found these at my local Target! Picked up the 3 pack of bowls to try! This one was very good! Great noodle texture, flavorful broth and a very impressive amount of beef. My only complaint wad that it wasn't nearly as spicy as I thought. To me, it was very lacking in heat. I added a dash of original buldak sauce and some fresh Kimchi to my bowl. It was perfect for my tastes!

The 3 pack of bowls also comes with a cute Mep Ramen Keychain!

If you like prawn like I do this will float your boat

I just got obsessed with thus one brad and flavor. Its got the prefect blend of salty sweet with a hint of citrus.

Recently tried peanut butter + chili oil stirred into the broth. Sounds wrong, tastes incredible. and now Im on journey of collecting the best recipes.

​

I just got it from TNT and it caught my eye cus of its unicorn look and brand. My brain probably made out of ramen noodles and I have probably noodles in my blood alreadv, but i still has never seen this ramen noodles in my life

UPDATE: They are just perfect. Not spicy but mildly enough. Flavor is good and what's important seems to take a lot of water to be still fully flavorful. 8.5 noodles in my vein out of 10

I notice people on the internet talk often of instant ramen as if it's one of the worst things you can put in your body, but i feel like this comes from people who prepare dried pasta and canned sauce at least once a week. What is the difference?

Comprei o Shin e Buldak porém achei muito apimentado,sou do Brasil e não sou acostumada com tanta pimenta

Another Ocean State Job Lot find. It comes with two noodle disks, a veggie packet and the powder base. It was gross. The noodles were not good and the flavor of the broth was terrible. There was a flavor I couldn't quite place and reading the ingredients I saw that it had cinnamon bark powder. Did not care for it. Tossed it after a few bites

Had to go to 3 convenience stores before I found the lemon one so it better be good!!

Sounds like an old video game and tastes like corn

What you need :
- Indomie goreng (why I use this? Because it’s quite sweet and not having strong taste like other flavour)
- Mujigae instant tteobokki spicy (I like this one, you might find one from other brand)
- Optional : sausage/odeng, cheese, chili powder

How to make :
- Cook the noodles, then drain.
- Boil 250ml water, cook the tteokbokki
- Add sausage/odeng
- Add all the seasoning from tteobokki & instant noodles
- Add the noodles
- Add a bit of sugar, salt and chili powder (it depends on your taste, but I usually do this since I love it sweet & spicy)
- Add cheese (any cheese, but mozzarella is the best IMO)
- Optional : put some sesame seeds

Had a bunch of leftovers from a beef hotpot. Instant topping for instant pho.

soft egg and Parmesan cheese with komatsuna.

Spicy Miso from Sapporo.
