Maruchan, without question.
Buldak because their chicken flavor is artificial 🥰
i live in asia and i think this is disgusting and i think you should be ashamed of yourself
I also live in Asia.
This isn’t a question about a developed palate. It’s about which one of these shit food is preferred.
Be inclusive bro, learn to eat some shit.Why ashamed though?
In Norway SamYang Buldak spicy seems to be all the rage. Spicy as fuck tho’
Reading this thread I went to the asian market and got the Nongahim Shin Premium Black. Will test that later
The nongshim premium black is great. they have a bone broth version that’s even better
🤮
Mama brand creamy shrimp tom yum flavor. The best!
It is good to know that Lemmy is correct. The answers were, mostly, either maruchan or shin black, both of which are correct. the maruchan is what you pick when you are broke/ sick and aren’t sure you’ll keep anything down, and shin black is what you pick when you want good ramen not from a ramen shop. $2 USD per packet is a little steep for not sure it’s gonna sit well. I have a very picky tummy though so maybe most people have fewer issues with feeling guilty about “losing” pricy food.
Indomie :p
Indomie is my back-up Ramen
Not deep fried in vegetable oil or lard and much healthier for you while costing less afaik.
For the actual stovetop? Maruchan.
For the “In-a-Cup” variety? Nissin.
But what I really want is Nongshim Shin Black.
Good lord, when you add the bone broth packet…
Shin black is so far above everything else it’s almost embarrassing. Only other ramen thay I sometimes crave is the Nissin black garlic tonkatsu.
Have you tried Shin Gold? I recently discovered it and it’s my new favorite!
I have not yet. Definitely will try if i see it, although I don’t typically go for the chicken flavors
The opposite for me: maruchan in a cup and nissin in stovetop. I also like the rhin ramyon but prefer the regular red spicy one (the OG).
This guy noodles
Hm, I’m not sure. I think I’ll have to see the noods as a proof.
BEHOLD
A limited edition Maruchan ceramic cup, as proof of my allegiance.
I’m actually boiling some noodles rn XD.
Go to your local Asian market and they will have a very wide selection of instant noodles that are much better than either of these.
Also grab some LaoGanMa Spicy Chili Crisp to put in it, you can thank me later.
I’ll never forget when my girlfriend introduced me to Lao Gan Ma crispy chili in oil. Honestly salivating a little just by thinking of it right now. I ate it just about every day for a week, after first trying it. And the smell! Absolutely divine. I do need to keep it wrapped in 3 bags though, for it not to smell up the entire fridge, haha.
I can’t seem to find plain noodles that taste as good as the noodles that come in these little packets. Do you have a brand or type you’d recommend?
Shin noodles are really good, but they are kind of spicy, they also come in packs like those pictured.
Nongshim
As far as instant ramen is concerned, I prefer that black Korean stuff that tastes like hoisin sauce and green peppers (forgot what it’s called but you know the one).
But between these two, I like Maruchan’s slightly thinner noodles better. The chicken flavor is comfort food that takes me back to childhood. The chili lime with shrimp flavor is fire too.
I really like the Picante Chicken and Chili flavors Maruchan has.
When my girlfriend and I were living together in college. We had discussed this at some length, and eventually decided we weren’t poor enough to consider eating Nissin instead of Maruchan. That was, without a doubt, the poorest I have ever been and hopefully ever will be. I’m honestly not sure who the target market for Nissin is.
I’m honestly not sure who the target market for Nissin is.
Me, apparently! I really like the black garlic one, but also tonkatsu, seafood, chicken. I heap the bowl with sugar snap peas, raw mushrooms, spring onions etc, and top with a dollop of oyster sauce. Yummo.
