 Gives Ramen a more respectable name. October 10, 2009
John Snell (Beaverton, OR USA)
I ate a lot of Top Ramen in college, as every poor student does. But I actually liked it and continue to make it today. I had a bunch of it in my pantry. Then friends turned me on to this stuff.
If the only Ramen you know is what you had when you were broke, you MUST give this a try. It's unbelievably good.

 Two Tastes - Salt and Cayenne Pepper September 22, 2009
Opinunated (USA)
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. However don't under estimate the appeal of salt and cayenne pepper to many soup "lovers"
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".
The "over the top reviews" (5 star ratings) seen at Amazon really makes me question who is posting here. Out of simple curiosity, I looked at some of the 5 star reviews and found some that were posted by people who had never published a review before or after giving this soup a 5 star rating. These "reviewers" were certainly dedicated in their desire to give this soup, this ONE product, a very high rating on Amazon. Hmmmm.
Finally, everyone should keep in mind how hard it is to believe that any dried soup with a tiny "flavor packet" could ever rate 5 stars among serious people that love soup.
My thanks to the previous reviewers who suggested adding an egg. It made a world of difference
*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.

It is spicy but you will definitely love it once you get used to it. I'm simply a big fan of Korean food and this company's products are all my favorites!
Best spicy noodle on the market June 27, 2009
Erwen L. Tang (Springfield, VA United States)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Although this noodle is the "default" according to my Korean friend, I believe it is the best spicy noodle on the market. It is VERY spicy for those that are not accustomed to spicy food. If you have not tried this noodle before, I'd recommend using only half the chili powder packet. Then adjust as necessary for later meals. I've been eating this noodle for years and years. The recipe that I normally use is:
1 egg
Chinese green onions (chopped)
lemon juice
sesame oil
Bring water to a boil with the noodle in a pot. Then pour out the water and run cold water over the noodle. This cleans the noodles of the materials left over from the manufacturing process. Set noodle aside. Then bring filtered water to a boil with both ingredient packets. It takes several minutes for the dried vegetables to hydrate. Put noodles back in. Add 3-4 drops of lemon juice and 1-2 drops of sesame oil. Add the green onions. Stir. Break the egg over the top of the noodles. Make sure your hands are dry to avoid steam burns! Wait until the egg white turns from translucent to white. Serve over large bowl. Break the egg and allow the yolk to run over the noodles. YUM!
