| Customer Reviews: Average Rating: 4.0/5 | | Salt, tasteless Noodles and Red (Cayenne) Pepper - but its cheap, filling and Hot: Rating: 2/5 |
This is nothing more than a watery Noodle Soup with lots of Red Pepper and salt ------ unless you add an egg. Then it tastes much better. Chop up some scallion and it gets even better.
There is nothing terribly impressive about this soup yet I like it. It consists of a large packet of dried noodles (almost tasteless) and two much smaller packets. One of these small packets contains less than a tablespoon of chopped dried vegetables and the other is a spice packet consisting largely of red (cayenne) pepper.
Makes about 2 1/2 cups of soup.
Impressions: Beyond the watery base (there are no thickeners), my first impression was that of salt followed ---- after a few more spoonfuls -- of the emerging heat of cayenne pepper. As is typical with cayenne pepper, the heat builds up on the palate over time. Some Americans might call this soup "medium hot" but for most I'd imagine they would call it very "hot". However it easy to adjust the heat level - *see my later comments.
Yet the only real tastes here are those of salt and cayenne pepper. The noodles are largely tasteless and the vegetable packet is so small that it can add nothing more than visual appeal. However don't under estimate the appeal of salt and cayenne pepper to many soup reviewers.
This soup can be greatly improved by cracking an egg into the mix and stirring it in during the last minute of boiling. The egg not only adds a much needed third taste but also thickens the soup considerably. I was quite surprised how much an egg improved this soup.
At the $10.00 I paid for a case of 20 this was a particularly good value because I had eggs on hand.
I'd give this soup 3 or 4 stars with an egg but I'm a bit biased toward anything "hot". Maybe 3 stars with an egg is more appropriate and 1 star is more accurate for this soup without an egg?
I love soup in general and I like spiciness, so my 3-4 star rating, assuming you've added an egg, may be a bit biased because I love anything "hot".
*I'd also suggest using only half of the spice packet if this is the first time you've tasted the soup. Even after it is fully cooked you can add more of the spice packet if the "heat" is less than you desire. I prefer about two thirds of the spice packet and since that is hard to measure I'll mix in more (after cooking) if the soup seems a bit too dull. That is rarely the case and a full spice packet seems to kill every other taste.
For those of you who are extremely health conscious be aware - there is plenty of salt, MSG and other strange concoctions in this soup. Frankly, I expect that from processed foods and I didn't downgrade this soup because of that. The soup is also fairly high in calories - about 500 for the full packet.
THIS SAME SOUP HAS OTHER REVIEWS AND CAN BE PURCHASED IN VARIOUS QUANTITIES ON AMAZON. IT IS SOLD in CASE LOTS OF: 20 PACKAGES, 30 PACKAGES or 40 PACKAGES. ALL OF WHICH ARE LISTED SEPARATELY ON AMAZON. The prices differ on a package by package basis too. You may want to hunt for the best deal if you are interested. |
| | My husband LOVES these: Rating: 5/5 |
| I've bought these a few times for my husband to take to work and he LOVES them. When he runs out, he always wants more. They're very spicy, though, so if you don't like hot hots you're better off going with something else. We love spicy, so it's perfect for us. |
| | Nong shim spicy seafood: Rating: 5/5 |
I love this one the most among Nong Shim noodle varieties. I like it very spicy and this one is almost there. I can add a little bit more of chili peppers and it'll be perfect. But again I like it VERY spicy (I"m asian), so for most people I think it's spicy enough.
Try adding an egg and some veggies to it and it's a great meal. |
| | Filling noodles and flexible (no pun intended): Rating: 5/5 |
| These noodles are quite spicy and a big bowl of food. They are, however, a very flexible base for simple meals. You can control the spiciness (and sodium level) by how much of the seasoning packet you put in and you can add cooked meats and other vegetables to the soup to make variety. I've found that poaching an egg or two in the soup is very tasty, as well. Far superior quality of noodle to most grocery store brands. |
| | Just the way I like it!: Rating: 4/5 |
| I've always like spicy food & after living in Korea for a couple of years, I was delighted to find this Ramyun which is head & shoulders above any other 'ramen' that I've found in a grocery store. The noodles are more substantial, the flavor packet has a lot of flavor & the dried 'veggies' packet rounds it all off to make one of the best available. I was doubly delighted that Amazon made it so easy to order & even sweetened the deal by putting it on sale. Very satisfied! |
