#5366: Kang Shi Fu Artificial Soyed Beef Flavor – United States

Here’s one I found in a Project Ramen box! They’ve got quite an array of international varieties – good stuff! Use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount. Soyed beef? I’m guessing perhaps like corned beef? I really couldn’t find anything about it but that’s my guess. Let’s cook it up!
#5365: Nongshin Shin Ramyun K-Pop Demon Hunters Edition – United States

Okay, so I don’t live under a rock so I know about these things. In fact, I saw an advert for this awhile back and thought ‘oh – the kids might like this.’ So, I let them check it out and I watched a bit of the movie. I hated it. More than I hate slicing a bagel incorrectly. Well, maybe not that much, but I’m really annoyed by this film. I know that a lot of people really like it and that’s fine. However, I do not. It’s K-Pop’s version of Frozen. I went through that Frozen crap when the kids were really little, so another take on it really isn’t something I can embrace. Plus, the animation is awful. The music is catchy, but not the catchy K-Pop I really like; this is so… Commercial. But I do enjoy a tie-in product and this one’s pretty cool. I should mention that the Korean local version of this (yes, this is made in the United States in a great factory in Rancho Cucamonga, California) came with stickers, and I did hear chatter that people over there were buying tons of Shin, taking out the stickers, then selling sets of those stickers on eBay or their equivalent.
#5357: Nissin U. F. O. 3 Cheese Gyudon Yakisoba – Japan

Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These boxes are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “We’re keeping up the cheese party with another tasty bowl of yakisoba! This bowl features yakisoba noodles in a sweet n’ spicy gyudon-inspired sauce and a 3-cheese mayo made with edam, parmesan and romano cheese. This bowl is packed with flavor that you’ll love!”
#5347: A-Sha x Hot Ones Taiwanese Tingly Pepper Ramen Noodle Bowl – United States

A few reviews ago, I had a different collab from A-Sha – a Taiwanese Beef Noodle and it was insanely good. This one sounds spicy – let’s give it a go!
#5345: A-Sha x 88Rising Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup – United States

Here’s a new non-fried variety from A-Sha! A beef noodle, which is the signature dish of Taiwan. It’s a collab with 88Rising, a record label featuring Asian artists. This is pretty cool – let’s see how it tastes!
#5339: Old El Paso Ramen Noodles Beef Birria Naturally Flavored – United States

Well, this is the last one of the Totino’s / Old El Paso things. Honestly, I’m hopeful we might have one that gets more than a zero here. Fingers crossed.
#5337: Otoki Jin Ramen Spicy – United States

The second of the Jin Ramen bowls from Otoki. Excited to try this with my new add-in! Let’s hit it!
#5331: Otoki Jin Ramen Mild – United States

This one is particularly interesting. They changed the package design – and the brand. This has been Ottogi for years but now it’s Otoki. Perhaps a way to get westerners to pronounce the brand name correctly? Well, let’s give it a try!
#5307: Indomie Mi Instan Rasa Rawon Pedas Mercon – Indonesia

Big thanks to Pher Engi for this one! A little research found some answers on this one – Wikipedia had this to say –
#5303: Yang Zhang Gui Braised Bowl Beef With Tomato – China

I’m really intrigued with these bowls. This was sent by Pher Engi – thanks again! A beef tomato eh? It looks to have a nice little spherical surprise – let’s have a look!
#5290: Vifon Hot Beef Pikantine – Poland

This came by way of James from Lakeside, CA – thanks! This is a score – I so rarely get varieties for Europe! This is a beef with Sichuan pepper flavor variety – made in Vietnam for the Polish market. Rad! Let’s give it a whirl!
#5286: Vedan Wei Wei A Instant Noodles Artificial Spicy Beef Flavor – Taiwan

A big thanks to James from Lakeside, CA for sending these! This is a Taiwanese export version I’ve not reviewed (surprisingly enough). The brand is Vedan, however it is pronounced with a w sound – like way-dan. So now you know. Let’s cook.
#5284: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Red Fiery Spicy Beef Flavor – United States

A busy week so only got a couple done. Found this at Fred Meyer and though I ought to review it, so here I am. This will mean I’ve tried the pack, the tray, and the bowl. Okay let’s hit it.
#5277: Nissin Cup Noodles Stir Fry Rice Korean Spicy Beef Flavor – United States

I’ve done a lot of reviews lately of things that arrived in a Nissin Germany advent calendar box. This particular variety arrived in a box from Nissin USA that contained every noodle product they make! Let’s cook this one up!
#5276:Nissin Cup Noodles Beef Aromatic Spicy Soup – Germany

I think this is the very last of the German Cup Noodles – it has been a lot of fun reviewing them! They came in a big advent calendar the folks at Nissin Germany sent – thanks again! Let us begin.
#5269: Nissin Chow Mein Spicy Teriyaki Beef Flavor – United States

This one came out of the gargantuan National Noodle Day box Nissin sent. I looked it up and I reviewed this once before – in 2013. Let’s revisit this one – done a lot differently as for my garnish than the first time.
#5268: Tapatio Ramen Noodle Soup Birria Flavored Ramen – United States

Here’s a newcomer to the Tapatio cup range – Birria. I’m ready – let’s try it out!
#5267: Prince Katsu Kuromi Pho Rice Noodle Soup Spicy Beef Flavored – United States

This one comes by way of James from Lakeside, California – thanks again! I think this might be the last of the Prince Katsu/Sanrio collab variants – could be wrong though. These are made in Vietnam for A-Sha. Let’s give it a try!
A Donation Of Prison Ramen!

A big Thank you to Aimee from the Ramen Junkies Facebook group! I’ve never had a Nissin Top Ramen corrections-style variety before and so this is the first and I’m STOKED. There’s really no correlating variety outside of prisons and jail like this flavor. Fascinating. Watch and check it out – and thanks again!
#5261: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Stir Fry Spicy Beef Flavor – United States

Thanks again to Noodle Jourmey for sending this along! I’ve seen this around quite a bit and I’ve tried the tray version, but here’s the pack. I’ve curious and ready to give it a go, so let’s do it.
#5256: Sapporo Ichiban Kasahara’s Specialty Katsuo & Meat Infused Adult Shoyu Ramen – Japan

Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! Inside, they have 8-10 different varieties from Japan! If you’d like to get one, don’t forget to use the coupon code THERAMENRATER for a discount! Let’s see what they had to say about this one – “Next up is a bowl with a festive red color! This is a more mature spin on a classic shoyu ramen that comes from chef Masahiro Kasahara. The broth is infused with Japanese dashi (soup stock) and beef for tons of umami and chili pepper for tasty spice—a perfect combo!”
#5253: Sapporo Ichiban Local x Dashi Sendai Beef Powder Oxtail Soup-Style Ramen – Japan

Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These boxes are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “Next up is a great cup of ramen that’ll start your year off right! This cup features a delicious oxtail soup-style shio (salt) broth packed with the umami of Sendai beef, a tasty onion flavor and delicious pepper accent. Add tasty springy noodles and you have a yummy ramen cup!”
#5249: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Stir Fry Spicy Beef Flavor – United States

This little square tray caught my attention at a local grocery store recently. I though it looked interesting, so we shall see. I must say the microwaved noodle usually is quite good in Nongshim stuff.
#5243: Tapatio Ramen Noodle Soup Carne Asada With Lime – United States

This one sounds good – the Tapatio folks sent it along with two more varieties I’ll be reviewing in upcoming days. Let’s try it!
#5226: Nongshim Shin Ramyun Red Fiery Spicy Beef Flavor – United States

This came by way of my friend over at Noodle Journey – thanks! The Shin people should be stoked – I’m definitely curious. Let’s give it a try!
#5221: Maruchan Birria Beef Ramen Bowl – United States

Well, this is embarrassing. I deleted the picture that should be above and the pictures of the bowl contents. Yes, I used undelete software – didn’t work. So, here we are. I got one from James of Lakeside and one from Noodle Journey, but alas, it was too late. Post processing, post cooking. Well, let’s cook it and try it and… Yeah.
#5220: Nissin Demae Ramen Beef Flavour – Germany

Here’s another of the varieties from Nissin DE that were in the big instant noodle Advent calendar! Thus far they’ve been pretty good! Let’s give it a try.
#5208: NeoStar Ramen Delight Spicy Beef Instant Noodle Bowl – United States

Well, here we are again. Last time wasn’t so great. Let’s see how this one fares. This was sent by James from Lakeside, California – thanks again!
#5190: Nissin x Pepper Lunch Beef Cheese Curry Flavour – Singapore

The saga of the huge box from Singapore continues! Until I saw these, I’d never heard of Pepper Lunch, which is a restaurant chain. But indeed, there are locations here as well as in Singapore and probably elsewhere as well. Let’s try this cheese curry – high hopes as I love curry. I’m eating curry for dinner – I make it all the time.
#5186: Nissin x Pepper Lunch Beef Pepper Rice Flavour – Singapore

Here’s another one Nissin SG sent – thanks! Pepper Lunch is a restaurant chain over there and apparently here as well. Let’s give it a try!
#5168: McTrader Ramen Noodles Sirloin Artificially Flavored – United States

My 5000th review was of the chicken version from this brand. Why? It was a brand I’d not seen, I got it locally, and when I found it I was surprised to find it as well and excited. I saw a post in the Ramen Junkies group showing this beef version, and I could tell from the shelf picture it was from the same place – a discount store called Dollar Tree. So, I thought I’d look to see if they have it and they did. What I find interesting is that I thought these were made in China – they’re not. These are made in India, and a sirloin flavor, which connotes beef seems very out of character. Once again, I review another McTrader product. Let us begin.
#5165: Nissin Cup Noodles Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup – United States

Holy cow – what a week. On Tuesday, we had a huge storm – a bomb cyclone. Areas around here had gusts equal to hurricane force. The cyclone sucked air out to sea, which made winds go the opposite direction they usually do – causing power outages… We had just shy of a 2 day power outage. It sucked. Well, I’m back. Let’s do it up!
#5161: Snapdragon Beef Pho Beef Flavored Noodle Soup – United States

After going to the dollar store in search of something – which I found – I was on my way home and passed by a little free food pantry. People just put food in there and you just take it out. I found this one in there. I have put plenty of noodles in there in the past, so when I find something, I feel happy to abscond with it. I’m happy to not have to pay for a multipack of these, so thank you random donor. I’ll put some cool stuff in there shortly. Let’s cook this…
#5158: Trailtopia Adventure Food Beef Stroganoff Flavored Ramen Noodles – United States

Big thanks to The Fat Hipster for sending this along. This is an instant noodle for hikers and campers. So if you’re neither, think of carrying tons of stuff for a multi day outdoor trip. You will need food. Do you want to carry something heavy or light? When you’re done, do you want big trash to lug around? Well, this is a solution. These packs aren’t huge, they’re light, and unlike a foam bowl, this is also the cooking vessel and folds up for disposal away from the trail. Sounds interesting. I’m very curious about this, so let’s get to it.
#5130: Nissin Hot & Spicy Fiery Beef Flavor – United States

Here’s one I got out of the huge box Nissin sent me for National Noodle Day. I figured I’d reviewed everything in there, but nope! There’s a few! Let’s give it a god.
#5126: Picantia Chipotle Beef Ramen Noodle Soup – United States

I’ve seen this on Amazon and elsewhere kind of recently but never in the ‘wild’ until this last weekend. Well, as I type this I mean September 28th 2024 last weekend. My lovely wife Kit took us over to S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington for a quick noodle hunt and three varieties of this range were lurking. It wasn’t really a quick hop over there – there was some insane traffic on the way home. However there was a bit of rain and a nice rainbow for the kids to enjoy on the way back while we sat in traffic. This one is made in South Korea by Samyang let’s check this out!
#5084: Jans Pho Bo Vietnamese Style Instant Rice Noodle – Vietnam

Very rarely have I found instant pho that I’ve enjoyed. Like twice. But maybe this will be a third time. We shall see.
#5083: Yoko Street Udon With Simmered Beef and Fish Cake – United States

Here’s the second of three sent by Yoko Street. I think this is the first udon I’ve tried from these folks – I could be wrong. Looks like the good stuff too – thick and chewy. Guess we’ll find out!
#5074: Snapdragon Vietnamese Pho Beef Flavored Noodle Soup – United States

A bowl of beef pho from Snapdragon. Really not looking forward to this; far and few between are Snapdragon varieties that I’ve really liked. I suppose I will atempt to ‘slurp happy’ as they recommend on the packaging. Well, let’s make an attempt.
