Here's a twist to your favorite instant noodle.
You can use real cheese or the Kraft slices (they're a bit creamier) but I prefer real cheese.

Might sound strange, but it is absolutely delicious!

No offense, but you just added like two pieces of cheese into your noodle soup. If that is a twist, it must be a revelation when I add leftover rice into my cream of mushroom soup.

But maybe I'll give it a try, in about 2 hours or so when I get hungry.

[subordinate]

reminds me a gross post on a different forum where some guy put in cheese whiz and other crap in the noodles.

Stick with meat/eggs and some sliced cabbage or something!

None taken. A twist is not a revelation. I ain't claiming to re-invent the wheel.. This is just for sheer amusement. :thumbsup:

[Senna4ever]

Cheese ramen is available in Japan, and popular, so it's not really a twist. Having said that, I love Shin Ramyun, but it gives me "gastro-intestinal difficulties" the next day. :(

[LsquareD]

I love Ramen w/ cheese. Mmmmm...

I'm a hardcore Shin Ramyun fan that owns pair of Shin Ramyun Socks and money/change holder. :lol

I usually add peanut butter to the soup as I cook it. It gives off a very nice creamy texture. It's similar to the "Tan Tan" noodles you eat at Szechuan/Shanghainese restaurants. :)

Or I basically drop an egg a minute or two before it's done cooking then I separate the noodles with the egg from the broth. I then break the yolk and mix it/coat the noodles....Damn, now I'm craving!

[danlee78]

신라면 is really good stuff...i add 2 eggs and sometime, but rarely cheese cuz it tates like macaroni

[Senna4ever]

The sodium content of Shin Ramyun is horrific.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

The sodium content of Shin Ramyun is horrific.

that's why it tastes so good.

[HonestTea]

The sodium content of Shin Ramyun is horrific.

+1 and MiGoreng as well.

So much sodium in those noodles :(

[LiquidTurbo]

You don't eat Shin Ramyum to be healthy LOL.

[KuSouL]

you put too much water

[araig2.0]

Shin Ramyun is ok just way too spicy. Makes my mouth burn so much
Ichiban original>Shinramyun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adding the cheese is fail! next thing you know it'll be called ram'oroni and cheeze

[q0192837465]

Kintaro used to have cheese ramen. But I no longer see it on the menu the last time I visited, which was 2 weeks ago

[unit]

The sodium content of Shin Ramyun is horrific.

pretty much all instant noodles and instant soup.

[Senna4ever]

pretty much all instant noodles and instant soup.

But Shin Ramyun is on another level. Not that I'm complaining....I love that shit. I used to put kimchi and more chili powder before...now my stomach can't handle it. :cry:

[wuuhoo]

Just brought a pack of these :D midnight snack later.


yeah the sodium content is really bad. LOL one serving is like your daily intake :(

[raygunpk]

[CP.AR]

Ok so I just had a bowl with the cheese. I think I'm going to be sick in class today.

[q0192837465]

^lol. I dun think processed cheese is the way to go

[Amuse]

Walmart has a 5 or 6 pack of these for $3.88 now
I looked at the sodium content of a pack and it has 1200mg sodium or something like that :eek:

[TOS'd]

1120 mg and that's only for 1/2 (60 g) a pack haha.

[danlee78]

^ AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA shin ramyun socks!!!

[bcrdukes]

Talk about a die-hard fan. :lol

[skyxx]

I actually wear them out but they're somewhat okay quality. I got them at the Night market with 3 other buddies. Buy 4 for 10 bucks. Who could resist!

[LiquidTurbo]

Anyone know how popular is Shin Ramyun in Korea?

[kitsune]

^
It's like.. THE ramen. Everyone knows it and loves it.

I just had some today..... I just prefer one egg and some green onions.. with kimchi on the side..... and rice. =]

As posted above.. that ramen has waay too much water.

I remember when we were young.. we'd make.. jjol myun (no water, boil it all off) with shin ramyun...... holy crap. You can TASTE all the sodium. bleacchh.

[skyxx]

I'm actually a Nong Shim fan, not just a Shin Ramyun fan. :lol Although I'm looking for a super good instant Ja Jang Myeon. I tried quite a few from the so-so Chapaghetti to those 4 dollar a bowl ones. :lol Now someone recommend me a damn good instant JJM.

[TOS'd]

Anyone familiar with the Mama mein brand instant noodles? I can't seem to find them anymore. That is my all time favourite instant noodle.

[Alphamale]

^That shit is the bomb. I loved the spicy one that came in the silver packages. I haven't seen them around in a long time but I don't go shopping for instant noodles.

[BlackZRoadster]

are you kidding? they sell that noodle at every asian supermarket, it's even at Save-on foods, and superstore.

it's really good after u have had some alcohol in ya, nice combo

but instead of kimchi i like eating it with 깍두기 radish

Just realized this turned in to a review. :lol

Time to bump this thread up. Just this week, H-Mart started to Carry Shin Ramyun Black. I believe it came out earlier this year around May. Since August, I've been looking for it. It's basically part of Nong Shim's "Premium" line of noodles. I went and bought a 4 pack for $6.98. That's right, these noodles cost effing 6.98 on sale. Making them double the price of the regular/standard affair. From what I can tell right away, the packaging is different(Obvious). It's black compared to the usual Red. The Noodle itself seems to be the same. The most notable differences are the Vegetable packet and the one extra soup base packet, making it a total of 3 packets.

The vegetables are Bigger and more visible. You can definitelly see the mushrooms, the onion/scallions, beef peices etc etc. This also makes them more "tastier".

The second packet is your regular spicy red powder packet but in a smaller portion do to the third packet of soup base.

Now, this is the main thing/magic that makes this Shin Ramyun premium. It comes with a packet of "Sul-Long-Tang". A traditional korean beef stew that takes a lot of hours and prep to cook. I assume this is the only reason why the noodle is so expensive. Nong shim also sells this "Sul-Long-Tang" as a standalone noodle package. (I have also bought that one)

Anyway, after cooking it. The aroma of the noodles is different along with the soup looking more creamy. As for taste, it's definitely a bit different due to the extra soup base and the bigger chunks of veggies and beef. I found that it was not as spicy as the regular and the garlic from the second soup base "co-existed" along with it.

Do I think this noodle rivals and trumps the original? Nope, I don't think it trumps it. As a matter of fact I prefer the original over this, plus I don't think its worth it's price. Do I think you guys should try it? Ofcourse, as a Shin Ramyun fan or not, I think you should try it. Some of you guys might like it over the regular. It's really a matter of preference.

Packaging 8/10
Taste: 7/10
Price: 3/10

(too lazy to take pictures, I'll take some next time as I still have a few packages left.)

:sweetjesus:

[skyxx]

Apparently there's no MSG in it. Same for most of Nong Shim's line of premium noodles.

[NLY]

Awesome review!

No msg = worth trying

[skyxx]

One packet is 1.99, a package of 4 is 6.98 at the moment I believe. It'll go back to $7.99 some time. :fuckthatshit:

[LiquidTurbo]

NICE. Might be worth a try. I splurged the other day on a 11.99 for a 5 pack of important Japanese Ramen from the japanese superstore. It's good, but hella expensive!!

[LiquidTurbo]

What bugs me is that Shin Ramyun is made in CHina these days..

[DHP 1]

^


not the black edition, i bought some the other day it says made in USA

[Senna4ever]

Just tried the Shin Ramyun Black - it does taste better than the regular one.

[dr.funk]

the best way to eat is to to make it and use the noodles and the spice pack no soup eat it dry with some slices of spam. :spamarama: :fuckyea:

[skyxx]

^ Honestly, it's preference man. haha

[unit]

way too spicy for that.. but then again that was the old shin ramyun.
the new one is actually a lot milder from what i hear?

[skyxx]

^ Honestly, I find Shin Ramyun tastier with soup instead of just a "dry" mix noodle. It's milder and creamier.

[bcedhk]

they have shin ramen black on sale at H Mart. it was 25% off .

[bcedhk]

the best are the ones made in korea. dont get the ones made in china, the noodles sucks

[subordinate]

Hate you guys.

I had the red package, been a while, and regret it.

All them carbs lol...So good.:pokerface:

Yup, it's stupidly mild now. I have to put a bunch of crushed chili peppers in the soup.

I don't really like the Champagetti flavouring. It tastes really swampy to me.

Not a big fan.

[skyxx]

Chapagetti actually sucks lol. It's disgusting but I have it anyway. There is actually a better Korean Black Bean sauce with Noodles by Nong Shim under their Premium line. Haven't tried it yet but should be better than that. :)
