Wow – it’s been forever since I had this one, so it’s getting a fresh and new review today. Namja mean’s it’s for men in Korean – sorry ladies! I dunno though, it could be an ingenious marketing ploy – tell women it’s not for them, they might just go and eat copious amounts of it to prove that they can handle the heat and garlic. What’s interesting is that I would say when it comes to gender specific ramen, I would say I’ve seen more that are purposefully geared towards women. Anyways, let’s check this one out!
Paldo Namja (Men’s) Ramen – South Korea
Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add everything to 500ml boiling water and cook for 4 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!
The noodle block.
A dry soup base sachet.
A vegetables sachet.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added homemade chashu pork, scallions, crushed red pepper, chili oil, sesame seed, and egg yolk. The noodle is girthy with a nice chew that Paldo usually brings to the table. The broth is a spicy and garlic infused one which was quite good. Garnish included nice sliced garlic. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 648436100729.
